I completely agree with Ben. I love my Wolfsburg Weekender. The Queen
sized bed in the back is the most comfortable space I have ever camped in.
Anything larger and I wouldn't consider it camping, anyhow.

If I didn't have the AC tunnel in the roof I would seriously consider
installing a poptop on mine, for the extra airflow and interior space.
Another consideration that has crossed my mind is to put a weekender
interior into my Dad's 1985 sunroof van, which would be great as long as
it wasn't raining....

OTOH, it's nice to still be able to use underground parking at the
airport. If I had a westfakia Vanagon, that wouldn't be possible. The
wolfsburg/carat interior in my van also goes to work with me on a daily
basis, and being able to remove the seats and fold down the bed makes for
a LOT of cargo capacity; it constantly amazes shipper/recievers when they
see the weight and bulk that these old vans can accommodate.
