Its not a Club Joker or an Atlantic, Reimo, Autocruiser or Reisemobile. It appears to be a Wohnmobil like this one on German Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.de/VW-T3-Bulli-Wohnmobil-Bj-83-TueV-11-10-mit-Vorzelt_W0QQitemZ250344014602QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDE_Auto_Motorrad_Fahrzeuge_Wohnmobile_wagen?hash=item250344014602&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1229|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 There were many really cool camper conversions in Europe that were never imported in North America.
