FWIW, if you remove the rear seat cushion fabric to replace the foam (throw
the fabric in the washer on gentle cycle and let air dry-it'll look like
new) get the high density foam, not the cheap stuff. High density foam is
more expensive, but if you use the cheap stuff you'll regret it, and it's a
fair amount of work prying all those staples out to remove the fabric, you
don't want to do it twice. I lived in a Chevy van the summer of 1979, had
gotten a short term transfer to my company's office in Philadelphia, and
was too broke to get a hotel room. Lived in a YMCA camp ground in
Phoenixville, PA. The rate was $6.00 a night with electric! The real pain
was that is was the second "gas crisis" of the 70's, and even though I was
only 225 miles from home, you could only buy something like 5 bucks of gas
at a time, which in a Chevy van with a V8 didn't get very far-usually just
far enough to get in another gas line! Camp ground had a no long term
policy, long term being over 7 days. So, every Saturday morning I'd pack
up, check out, go do some shopping and come back, re-register and go back
to my site! Only really bad weekend was one that it rained from Friday
night to Monday morning, stayed in that van all weekend watched TV. Did
meet some nice British folks that weekend, though, who were traveling in a
Westy.   Jeff
