Jeepers, sounds just like my 1981 Basic Camper!  And it's a pretty basic
Vanagon, as well: no rear wiper, cheap wall paper throughout, no factory
radio or speakers, and "Boogie Woogie" upholstery, so I am told (or was that
Mauie Wowie?  I can't remember!).

Oh, and black plastic vents, too!

My 1981 Camper Owner's Manual details both the "Basic" and "Deluxe" campers.
