u talking about a 3 person rear weekender sofabed from a GL pass van or
carat/wolfy?   if so, then you lose your water tank cabinets.  and you can't use
your left rear cabinet because it would hit the seatback.   wouldnt be a good
idea.

sounds like you need to get an interior from a '85-'87 Non-GL Camper (westy
weekender) or a '80-'82 Base model (P-24) Camper.   youd need to get the
shorter (front to rear) cabinet which those have, and the 3 person sofabed whoch
those have.    ps.. ken wilford had one of these he was parting out..'81 base
model westy (P-24)  no stove or fridge, just a icebox (same size as fridge, so a
working fridge could be swapped into there) and sink... the early base model
vanagon westy had the water tank under the 3 person rear sofabed...   that
could be exactly what you want. email him..

then you could have your 3 person rear sofabed, and still have room to slide
in the middle 2 person bench..   theres your 7 pass right there..

are you confused now?  :<)
