As to David's inquiry about the MV, we love ours; a '93 (not a weekender).
The rear facing seats are great for conversation in the back. I have
hauled grandkids, band members, friends, and it is the same; everyone
enjoys it. the table is great for games (although VW does not recommend
having it up while driving, we have never had a problem. The bed is a
nice touch, although we augment it with self inflating foam camping pads.
Instead of draw curtains (like the weekender), the MV has snap on curtains
to block out the light.
We chose the non weekender version for the rear AC (not available on the
Weekender). We have show dogs, and when we go to shows, we pop out the
rear facing seats, and throw in the dog crates. It is a truly versatile
van. We plan on trading the '93 for a '99 or 2000, one of these days.
Cheers
