The assumed conclusion - all passenger vans had the rear hatch dome light
switch, and all vans that were equipped from the factory with a rear hatch
screen, did not have the rear hatch dome light switch..  can anyone refute
this theory?

i think the campers didnt have the rear light switch because VW decided that
people would be camping with the rear hatch open and screen in place, and
didnt want to be bothered with turning on and off the dome lights all the
time they wanted to leave the hatch open for extended periods of time..

whaddaya think?
