Please point to an authoritative source. I've already cited
http://www.dualport.com/vanagon/data.html , which appears to be an
accurate reproduction of the VW spec sheet.

The spec sheet says "VANAGON, VANAGON GL, VW CAMPER." No mention of a
"Camper GL."

The Camper had a poptop and a kitchen. Apparently, the Vanagon the OP
mentioned doesn't exist. :-)

Also, they didn't call it a "bus" or a "poptop," so please be
consistent in your pedantry.
