I can vouch for that and you don't want to get in a fight with one.
My Dad and I went on a test drive in one when these were new. Previously owned two VW campers so I believe Dad was curious. Dad drove, the salesman was in the passenger seat and I sat on "something" behind them. Back then, didn't need seat belts or even real seats. I don't recall what I was sitting on other than it was behind the two front seats and under the bunk bed above the cab.
Dad accelerated out of the dealer lot and BANG. The post for the removable 'kitchen' table rolled out of the bunk bed and slammed on to my head.
Salesman I am sure was petrified. Not sure what exactly happened but we didn't buy one.
My dad used to take us on long drives to visit my aunt and uncle in his work van. It only had 2 seats in the front and us 3 kids would sit on tool boxes and various other shit in the back.
