Kind of, the actual VW model designation is a Vanagon
Camper. There is no mention of it being a 'Wolfsburg
Edition' on the original window sticker or in any of
the original documentation that came with my van; the
only identifier is the badges on the front fenders.

I have seen a single owner 1987 Vanagon Camper in
Orlando without the Wolfburg Edition badges, the owner
claimed that the van never had them. It has power
steering, windows and mirrors, options that my Camper
doesn't have.

IMHO, the dealers put the Wolfsburg Edition badges on
the Campers, not the factory, thats why they didn't
end up on every camper.

There are more photos of Vanagon Campers with and
without Wolfsburg Editon badges in the Photos section
of the Wolfsburg_Campers Yahoo!Group, see my signature
for the link.

You could technically call your van a 'weekender'
because it has an option package that includes a rear
seat that folds out into a full sized bed, but a lot
of passenger vans and campers had that particular
setup, not just your camper model.

One last thing, the 1984 Wolfsburg Edition Camper was
fully optioned camper (GL?) with a special tan/brown
paint scheme.
