I also prefer to sit across a table from my dining partner. My first bus, a 67 Camper of USA I believe it was, had the icebox/sink right behind the passenger seat. I installed a plywood wall from sink unit to ceiling. Good for hanging things. Behind the driver's seat was a seat with storage under it. The clothes cabinet was on the passenger side behind the swing out doors. The bed/couch was up against the driver's side. The table swung up between the two facing seats. Inside cooking involved putting a stove on the table or sink behind the passenger seat. I liked the option of taking the propane stove outdoors and having easy access to the icebox from outside. I also liked the "cozy" feeling of having the cabinets on the passenger side. This setup felt like I could integrate indoor and outdoor living more effectively. I also owned an 82 diesel in which I installed the westphalia interior. It felt awkward and an inefficient use of space. I didn't like the swing out table. I found I prefered being able to cook outside. This setup also felt "exposed" more than the 67's setup. Definitely an opinion here... Jeffrey Olson Seattle, Washington
