See Joel's email for the facts.

See factory documentation for more facts:

Your own link: "From a copied VW spec sheet from 1985 (Form No. W64 255
6011):"
http://www.dualport.com/vanagon/data.html

Note the "Weekender package," described as "Includes: Folding rear bench
seat with storage compartment, engine compartment cushion, center seat with
folding backrest"

The above is correct.  None of the Wolfsburg Edition campers had a center
seat with folding backrest.  And if you keep reading it says it is available
for Vanagon and Vanagon GL, not Camper.  The Wolfsburg Edition campers were
not the 'weekender package'.

If you look closely, the Weekender package is NOT available on the Camper,
but on hard-top Vanagon and Vanagon GL.

I owned an '85 Westfalia Wolfsburg Edition camper for 4 years and read every
manual and piece of doumentation that came with the vehicle.  NOWHERE is the
vehicle called a Weekender or is the word 'weekender package' mentioned.

I still am a member of the Wolfsburg Edition Yahoo groups where we posed and
analyzed this question already.  We disagreed with you a long time ago.
Here's the link:  http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/wolfsburg_campers/

Even your own links you provided disagree with you.  The only 'Weekender
Package' is available on a hard-top Vanagon and provides NO CABINETS.

As for the rest of links you provided, it is not VW factory documentation,
only misunderstanding of the facts and perpetuation of misapplied terms,
much like your own.

Case closed.
