I think the model that's being referred to here--not having camping
equipment--is what is often called the "Weekender." It has a poptop,
but below that it is a standard Carat-outfitted van with full-width
back seat, and none of the camping stuff along the driver's side. It
had the Carat's table and fluorescent light, I think. They were
available for a number of years and in the Eurovan model as well.
