What Tim Hannink would prefer us to call the Basic Camper, the Westy
Weekender, has the poptop, a fold-out table, a different rear closet and a
rear-facing seat with icebox beneath. It also came with a plug-in 12VDC
fridge.
The Wolfsburg version got you corduroy upholstery, two (2!) mudflaps and two
beeyootiful Wolfsburg badges.

There is also the hardtop Weekender with full queen size rear lower bed ,
fold-out table and rear-facing seat.
