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

Unfortunately, you can not open the fridge door with the middle seat in.

I think 6 people would not be much of a problem in a Westy, as I've done
it in my other Westy, the '85 during my recent trip to NC.  I've just
added everyone's weight and between 3 adults and 5 children we had just
over 1000 lbs of people inside.  We loaded into the camel and proceeded to
drive from Asheville to Mt. Mitchell up the Blue Ridge Parkway.
