FWIW, I think SD's point was that Vanagon 1 is not a Westfalia either. There's no such thing as a Westfalia without a pop-top. Lots of non-Westy Vanagons came with Z-beds, tables, and rear facing seats. The primary confusion seems to come from the two uses of the term "weekender". One westy model was called the "Westfalia Weekender", which had a pop-top but no kitchen cabinetry. Some early Vanagons were sold with an added "weekender" package, which added a Z-bed in back, among other things. THis "weekender" package had nothing to do with Westfalia. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
