think you've got a weekender?

maybe so...maybe not.

the term "weekender" is widely misused.

the "weekender" package, or "weekender interior" refers to a 7 PASSENGER van
with the back seat that folds down into a full length sofabed, with a cushion
over the engine, and the middle seat that has split folding seatbacks that
fold forward.

that is the only Official "weekender" designation VW ever used.

from '85-'87, and again on the '90-'91 Multivan , VW offered the Non-GL
CAMPER with a poptop, full length bed, LR cabinet, fold out side table, rear
facing seat(s),  but no sink/stove etc , which is sometimes dubbed
(unofficially) a "westy weekender".

the '87-'91  7 pass Carat, and  7 pass wolfsburg PASSENGER vans have what is
known as the Carat/wolfsburg interior, or seating arrangement with the rear
facing jumpseats, fold out side table and rear sofabed, not to be confused
with the "weekender interior".....

just fyi....
