Two  questions about that van (I'm not interested in buying, so don't want
to  contact the seller(:

1.  The bed -- it appears that the bed is  narrower in the rear than in the
portion consisting of the rear seat.  Or  am I nuts?  that configuration
would seem to be odd, and not very  functional for a bed.
2.  More interesting to me is the jump  seat.  Are seats like this one
available, and can they be installed so as  to be fully safe, with proper
anchorage and 3-point seat belt?  Also, can  they be fit on the passenger side
rather than the driver's side?  I have  a camper, with kitchen, and of course a
jump seat will not fit on the driver's  side.

david.  that is a westy weekender, or "non-GL camper" they made them
'85-'87.

anyway if you want a jumpseat, get one from a carat or wolfsburg. they fold
 up and are easily removable..   they mount behind the front pass  seat.

 the jumpseats in the westy weekenders are fixed and not a good  cantidate
for installing on the passenger side.

and your van originally came with plastic wheelcovers :)    LOL  *wink*
