Subject:Converting Weekender to Westy
From:Don in Phoenix
Date:Tue, 16 Mar 2004 18:38:19 -0700

How hard is it to convert a Weekender to a Westy?  I am looking at a 1987
Camper (non-GL).  It has a pop-top, the rear seat folds to a bed and also
has the side cabinet on the drivers side of the bed.  It has a rear facing
jump seat where the sink/stove/reefer would go.

Is this just a matter of getting the cabinet (and the kitchen stuff),
bolting it down and wiring/plumbing it?  Are the mounting points for the LPG
tank under the bus already, or would I have to drill/fabricate/weld?  Any
sources for the kitchen cabinet and kitchen stuff?

I know it's preferred to get a Westy to begin with, but I have to go with
what I can afford.  If this can be done, I can do it in stages as I get the
funds...
