Hi,
After driving my friend's 86 pop-top westy in Yellowstone my wife and I are interested in getting rid of our 81 air cooled westy and getting a clean late model westy.

His van has just the rear facing jumpseat and table (elec fridge) and rear cabinet style of interior. My wife likes the 7 passenger interior without the stove/sink, etc.  I'm on the fence, since having the stove and sink inside the van for rainy or windy nights would be nice.  In nice weather, I agree that I would rather cook outside the van.  Also the flip-out table doesn't seem like it can take the abuse of kids leaning heavily on it.  Note this is a 3rd vechicle for us - so it basically a camper/beach/bike/ice cream run vechicle

So should we aim for the "full Westy" or the more basic model without the stove/sink/propane fridge???

Anyway - just curious in opinions (please let's not get into another discussion on the the terms "Weekender" "Basic Westy", "Multivan, etc - the list has been through that.

Thanks,

John
