Will: Not true for a split Westy. Panels are all 1/8" birch and cabinets are
all thick plywood, like 1/2 or 5/8" (would have to go measure to be sure) but
yes the cabinets are covered in formica. At least the above is true for the
SO-42. But you are right about the weight. You can feel it when you are
driving one compared to a regular bus. Next time I have an SO-42 interior out
I will weigh all the pieces.

Plastic? Those busen had MDF or Pressboard with Formica. You may save a few
lbs but think about it. You're carrying probably close to 800 lbs at least
with the kits involved.

One thing i think you should consider is hopefully with that bus being a 2007
alot of the interior panels are abs plastic instead of the thick 1/2" and 3/4"
woods that our old westies have, which will result in a much lighter load

Features schmeatures...
I think what everybody forgets is how much "weight" we lug around in a Westy.
All the time.
If you were a nomad or used it constantly then it would be worth it otherwise
it would be like my parents
old Ford Camper. Let's see, a "Dreamer" deluxe camper that weighed in at just
under 2100 lbs. Had a full size
cab over bed and a 2 1/2 food drop rear extension. Ahh yes. In the 70s and
early 80s it spent most of its time
under the tree out front. With a 72 Ford F250 with a 390 underneath it mileage
was a great 9MPG...
Mind you, this was an "upgrade" from the 70 Hardtop Westy my step dad had that
he drove daily .
They'd also load it up (including the westy) with enough material to outlast
the next WOrld War. Clothes, Food, other gear.
The westy alone must have had 500 lbs of junk in it all the time.
Ahh those were the gold old days..

Have anyone seen this? The Danbury which is available in Mexico or
other South American countries, is rated better than the VW California.
You can always fly down to purchase and drive it back. I was searching
on the Danbury and there is a guy that sells it on theSamba.
