The Wolfsburg editions most likely didn't get the same treatment. Maybe
without the kitchen they didn't see the need to meet some of the RV or

"RVIA" label. Never on a Wolfsburg.

Vanagon Campers, like my '87 Wolfsburg Edition came from the factory with
dual batteries under the front seats. Neither compartment is sealed or
vented.
