Don't!   Read this list.  The main problems you read about on most of  

the list other than the engine relate to the sink, stove and fridge.   

You just don't need them.

What you have is an 86 West Wolfsburg Weekender.  The same thing I have.

You have more space in your van.  There was supposed to be a jump  
seat (it was an option) that had a cooler below it but most  
Weekenders don't have it anymore.

Here's what you need to replace the missing camper parts:

Coleman 2 or 3 burner Propane Stove
Coleman 12V Cooler (fits nicely behind driver's seat or between the  
front seats)
A storage box

Boom!

I love having a Weekender.  The extra space is great.
I removed my non-working AC and made a second cabinet out of it.

I think that is the best way to go!  Of course nobody has to agree  
with me.
