We have an 87 GL and although we have talked about turning it into a full camper, haven't done it yet. But we do use it as a camper quite often.I made curtains to go around all the windows, take the middle seat out and put the rear seat down(which turns into a bed, that is why there is a pad in the cargo section over the motor). We have done that for the past two years when we go to various VW events and even in other occasions. It does sleep quite well. I would like to have the weekender conversion in my van (with the fold up table and rear facing seats).
