Hey there - I'm leaving in the morning to go look at a 1990 Multi-van. If all goes well we'll be selling our '87 Westy camper. Love the damn thing but there's kids poppoing up all over and we need the seats!

Anyway, there's a few things I need to take care of of a few small things on our camper before selling it. One of those things is this...

The hinge that holds the metal sink cover in the upright position is broken. I have scoured the classifieds multiple times as well as gowesty and van-cafe, ebay, etc and I can't seem to find the hinge anywhere. At this point I'd buy the cover and the hinge. Anyone have a spare (I'd GLADLY buy it) or any leads on where I might find that obscure little item?

Thanks in advance - please yell at me appropriately if this is posted in the wrong area.

Have you added the optional middle seat? I did that on my '87 Westy and it now seats 6 comfortably. Very Happy

You know, I looked high and low for a seat, but I always struck out. I bought the multi-van this weekend. I think that's a better option for me. Will be posting my camper in the next couple of weeks - just need to make sure it's perfect first...

Oh - they aren't my kids - I don't have any myself. I'm talking about hauling around other people's kids!
