Hi Ken,

I plan on keeping the camper stuff in case I decide to sell in the
future - I can always put it back in.  I used to have an 87 GL that
had the rear folding seat but no pop-top.  I should have put a pop-top
on it and called it good.  But now I have my 88 Westy with a good
running Subie 2.2 and I would only sell it for top dollar (maybe
that's what I should do - sell mine and buy a GL and put the pop-top
on it ... hmmm).

Decisions, decisions, decisions.
