I'm a little new at this, so forgive my ignorance. Weekender is the fold down rear seat, right? When we replaced our faithful '73 w/ homemade camper conversion back in '92, my wife refused to buy a used synco, which I really wanted, because the back seat didn't fold down. Instead, we bought a '91 2WD, which had the fold down seat. SHE WAS RIGHT. Wouldn't do without it. On long trips, we can drive until we get tired, pull over and sleep until the sun, (or a passing freight train) wakes us, and continue on our way, refreshed. But I can still haul 4x8 sheets of plywod, etc., or 12' lumber. A great compromise. It's one of the many things about the vanagon that amazes minvan owners. my 0.02, tk
