>Does the weekender have more ROOM for junk?

I have an '85 Westy with the weekender interior.  Yes, it has much more room
inside than a full Westy -- It can take 5 passengers.  I carry a propane
stove for my cooking and electric cooler/fridge.  With two children and a
Greyhound, but no wife, I needed the room.  My Westy has a full-width rear
bench so my daughter can stretch out and take a nap without unfolding the
bed.  The additional rear-facing seat is great for my son.  The fold out
table is great for card games and eating while on the road.  I use
surplus-army ammo cases to store propane cylinders, cans of food and other
items.

I do wish I had the swivel seats of a full Westy.  This would give me even
more usable room inside while camping.

I wish I could comment on the weight of my Westy, but I would guess that it
weighs at least 200 lbs less than a full conversion.
