I have one of these, 1985 Vanagon ASI camper.  Possibly the last year ASI modified the Vanagon into a camper.  The upper bunk is really not suitable for sleeping, for adults.  The platform shifted and I fell out of mine a few years ago.  I will not get up there again; it's the lower bunk for me!
That being said, it's perfect for the passenger van owner who wants some headroom for camping.  I love my Lola, and wouldn't trade her for a Westy ever.  The "tent" is made from Polyvinyl; is is truly waterproof (a real plus here in the Pacific Northwest).
