you have a full GL camper. full GL campers have tan velour.    the tan
corderoy in the westy weekenders is the stuff that shreds.

if you had a westy weekender your seats would be shredded beyond recogniton
with 290k on them.

and yes, "shred o matic" is actually the factory volkswagen name for the tan
corduroy.
