Can you open the fridge with the middle 2 seats bolted in?

I would love to be able to fit 6 people in my Westy when my parents
come over with my sister.   I've been thinking of buying a vehicle
like a minivan specifically for this purpose.

Does anyone know what's involved in trying to do this conversion?  Is
there an aftermarket seat I could drop in cheaply, like something from
a JC Whitney catalog?

Also, if you sell Hershey and the new owner doesn't value the middle
seats and rails, maybe we could cut a parts deal?   Depends on cost.
I'm in California.

I wonder how my Westy will handle hills with 6 people in it?

Regards,
Craig
