I don't know about VW USA, but VW Canada sold some 'weekenders' as the "Multivan Westfalia" package in 1990 and 1991 - we own one, and I've seen others.  Rear cabinet, lower Z bed (wider front than rear), poptop and upper bed, three person rear bench and two rear-facing jumpseats.  A 12V cooler was an option, and its in the owner's manual, but I've never actually seen a '90  or '91 that had one (even if the cooler is missing, the addional 12V outlet behind the front passenger seat would be a giveaway as to the original equipment).

> What most people call "Weekenders" are actually Wolfsburg edition Westfalias from 85-86. Full width bed, rear cabinet only, rear facing seat, fold-up table, and a pop-top. VW never called them Weekenders.  The archives have many arguments to that point leftover from the days I used to own one.
