 "5 feet exactly".  Hmm. My 91 GL has a z-bed/seat with a
 long width of " 5 feet, 1 inch".

 I find it hard to believe that VW would manufacture two

the '87 up wolfy/carat rear sofabed is not as wide as the regular weekender
sofabed.  the plastic sidepanels stick out more from the wall, therefore the
back seat is narrower. if you try to put the wolfy/carat side panel w/ table
in your regular van, you will have a difficult time, without swapping the
sofabed to the wolfy/carat one.
