Subject:Re: Middle seat for westy? Is there room?

Back in 98, I bought an 82 1/2 Westy Wolfsburg edition with about 30 k miles and camped in it one summer.     It had a 2 person middle seat and rails.    The seat stayed in the garage the whole time I had the camper and I sold the seat along with the camper.    It was a bit underpowered but I wish I still had it.   I never had to work on it as it was such low miles.     Steve
