I have an 84 that was a regular 7 passenger, I have done many things back
and fourth. First I took all of the original seats out and put in the
weekender folding bed bench, along with a table that is removable pedastal
type. I also took the middle bench seat and turned it around to face the
rear by taking out one of the tracks and welding it back around. Of course
now the table sits in the middle of the seats . On the pass seat I welded a
small little bracket on the inner side of the seat rail slides , so the
seat can slide right out and be turned 180 degrees to face the back when
camping or whatever, this is locked in with a small small pin that goes
thru the small hole I drilled thru the bracket and seat slide rail. The pin
keeps the seat steady. Also the middle seat can be slid out which it is now
when needed. I made a ladder for the side of the van so you can get to the
handmade cargo rack. And surf racks. I put a long florescent light above
the sliding door ,  I also have a custom hitch I made which tows the small
stuff around, there are a number of other things over the years but I find
the weekender to be very handy as far as floor space is concerned. I have a
nice 10 x 8 awning that ataches to the roof rack the awning is made of
marine type vynel , it is almost the same color as the lower portion of the
van.  Hans from NJ.
