Good questions. I don't have much expertise on the pre '86 vans yet.

I've seen the '86 Wolfsburg Camper and have not yet been able to determine what distingishes it from the standard non-GL Camper. Neither had stove/sink stuff - only the removeable 12VDC/120VAC refer behind the front passenger seat. I speculate that the '86 Wolfsburgs had a unique paint color and included some features as standard equipment that were options in the standard Campers. Don't know about the '85 models.

Ronald, could you please Email me as complete a description of your '84 Wolfsburg as you care to write. It will be useful information for when I get around to writing the "Model Summary" for 1984. Thanks.
