After reading Dave's email, I went to look at my 1985 dealer brochure. There
I found what we were discussing just last week.

In the "PERSONALIZE YOUR VANAGON" page, they define the "Weekender Package"
as follows:

"A special Weekender Package" is available for both the Vanagon and Vanagon
GL. This includes a folding rear bench seat, engine compartment cushion and
center seat with folding backrest."
