Actually, VW called that model the "Vanagon Camper" in
the US market, while the "full" camper's model
designation was the "Camper GL". Overseas it was known
as the Transporter Multivan. VW never called it a
"weekender", they used that term to describe the
option where the rear seat folded into a full-size bed
which was available in other van models besides the
campers.

Thanks,

Tim
