Subject:Re: FS:rear facing jumpseat or short second row bench for westy
From:Mike Collum

While it's true that a 2 person bench from "Any" passenger vanagon will fit
... some of them do NOT have folding seat backs and make access to the rear
seat in a westy next to impossible due to the middle seat having to be so
near the sliding door (westy kitchen cabinets cause this).

I used the middle seat from my '84 7 passenger (which doesn't fold) in my
Westy a few times before I got the one with folding backs.  It almost has to
be used in the rear facing position.
