im afraid to say, there is no such thing as a "'90 westy weekender syncro"
ALL westys from '88 up were FULL GL westys. if it was a syncro, then it was
a FULL GL. when i say "Full GL" i mean i had the poptop, stove, fridge, both
tables, propane, the whole deal. there were '90-'91 Multivans (which were
sort of like westy weekenders) but none of these were syncros....

was the van you were looking at white? non poptop? had a full camper
interior? i did sell a full camper interior to a fellow in NH who put it in
his '90 syncro.... :<)

I'm so glad to be not looking for a van anymore...

The vehicle in NH was a westfalia (with poptop), syncro, white, with a
refrigerator (factory) but no sink or stove.  Rear facing seat behind the
driver's seat, slide out table.

Also, I looked into a Westy Wolfsburg weekender in Boone, NC, you may recall
it had the bordello red interior.  Pop top, slide out table, no
stove/sink/refrigerator, rear facing jump seat.

And I talked to a guy in Charlotte with a 1987 Westy GL, poptop, weekender,
that had a small refrigerator (once again, factory) under the jump seat.  I
never saw this van, so can only rely on the owner's statement.

So, I'm not trying to appear all knowing here, far from it.  But I think
trying to apply generalities to Westfalias is a mistake.
