Thanks for the clarification regarding the Club Joker. I was wondering what
this designation meant.

I am considering adding a second Fluorescent light in my Westy. Where was
the second fluorescent light mounted in the Joker models?

What was the double glazing meant to do? Was it meant to improve heat or
noise? I've considered adding a sheet of clear vinyl or acrylic behind the
front seats as a means to allow the cab area to warm up a little faster in
the cold weather.

Javier,

I can only tell you what I know from the European situation. Both are German
Westfalia designations for what in the US I guess you would call a Vanagon
Full
Camper.

Jokers usually have pretty good spec, on top of all the normal Westfalia
stuff
(fridge, poptop, tables, watertank, propane tank, stove)

* double 'glazing' aft of cab (acrylic)
* body insulation
* double fluorescent lighting
* underfloor grey water tank
* optionally an Eberspacher diesel or gasoline heater, with 2nd battery
* optionally a 'Porta-Potti-box' that sits behind the passenger seat and
also
acts as a jump seat
* optionally a fiberglass high roof (as opposed to the pop-top) with a
double
bed

Club Jokers just have nicer trim (some kind of velour, plus a contoured rear
seat which is a pain to sleep on).

Regards,
Robin
