FWIW, shortly after we picked up our '85 Vanagon (two weeks ago today) we
noticed that our rear seat pulled out from the front, the back laid down
(toward the back).  I don't know if that's a "weekender seat" but it looks
like it could be a fairly comfortable bed sort of thing.  I found out
yesterday that the seat back also folds down forward (so it lays on top of
the rear seat).  Maybe yours will do both too.

Subject: rear seat conversion???

Hi listee's

My 85 Vanagon has the forward folding rear seat, but I would like to =
convert to the weekender bed package.
Can I just change the mounting/hinge hardware + some modifications, or =
do I need the whole weekender seat?
The original seat doesn't seem to be as flat as the weekender seat and =
this seat has two bench supports/legs underneath.
