We purchased a 99 EuroVan MV in July, the one we bought did
include the curtains. In talking with the salesman, it appears the
only difference between the Weekender and the MV (for 1999) is;
no pop top on the MV and no cooler under the left hand jump seat.

Must say the rear seats are cool for conversation as well as the
occasional rained-out picnic. The only down-side is that the front
seats do not recline at all when the two rear-facing seats are in
place. This can be troubling when passenger A wants to lean back
a tad for a little shut-eye. Solution is to remove the jump seat when
camping and when 7 passenger seating is not needed. Good spot
for the cooler - seat belt wraps right around it and goes thru both
handles - allowing access by long armed drivers.
MV storage is excellent - extending waaaay under the folding bed. I
can get all my camping gear under there leaving the back deck for
clothing, food and necessities. I think that there should be some
curtains hidden away on-board that snap into place. My
weekender has them.
We rarely use the table other than for the occasional on-the-road or
rained-out camping meal. I will sometimes use it to place a small
VDO camera so my kids can watch a movie during a particularly
long stretch of highway. Nice to know its there in a pinch tho.

Does the rear seat fold down into a small bed on an MV? It
also looked like it had a nifty storage compartment behind the
rear bench, a la the Camper set-up.
This model was not a weekender version, but looked like
curtains could be added. I'm curious to know from current
MV owners whether the rear facing seats are useful or a
novelty. The little table was handy, but again, is it useful? Is
the MV as versatile as it appears?
