There were also tin tops with weekender configuration, but seems to me they were called something else.

Rear cabinet, lower Z bed (wider front than rear), poptop and upper bed, three person rear bench and two rear-facing jumpseats.  A 12V cooler was an option, and its in the owner's manual, but I've never actually seen a '90  or '91 that had one (even if the cooler is missing, the addional 12V outlet behind the front passenger seat would be a giveaway as to the original equipment).

>> What most people call "Weekenders" are actually Wolfsburg edition Westfalias from 85-86. Full width bed, rear cabinet only, rear facing seat, fold-up table, and a pop-top. VW never called them Weekenders.  The archives have many arguments to that point leftover from the days I used to own one.
