It sounds like either a "base" camper from 86 or 87, not a GL Camper.  I'd
bet it is either:
A. 1986 Camper Wolfsburg Edition, not a 1987.  
B. 1987 Camper that someone applied Wolfsburg Edition badges to.

1987 Wolfsburg Editions were not pop-tops and had a pair of rear facing
removeable seats behind the driver & front passenger.  No "storage
compartment" part to these seats.  They did however have the folding side
table and "aero-style" fiberglass bumpers.  1990 & 1991 Multivans had
interior arrangements like this but added the pop-top and a rear storage
cabinet.
