I was referring to two different Wolfsburg edition Westfalias. The
'84, my current ride, has all the kitchen equipment, power steering,
tach, arm rests and extra-luxurious upholstery. The '85 Wolfsburg
Edition was my previous Westy, comes sans kitchen, with rear facing
seat, with pop-top. Both are built by Westfalia. The '85 models are
often and incorrectly called Weekenders.
