california soul
The VW California is specifically designed and built as a camper van from the ground up, unlike some campervans that are converted from standard vans. This ensures that all aspects of its design are optimised for camping and road trips.

perfectly formed
Compact and agile on the roads, the VW T6.1 van shares a footprint with a large family car so you can still park in a normal space, and at 2m tall it will fit under most low bridges and car park height restrictions.

luxe the part
The modern day VW California is the pinnacle of campervan design, and the Ocean is the cream of the crop. It’s not all about the looks – inside you’ll find a bright interior which makes it a joy to be in whatever the weather, and we’ve included plush carpets and other premium touches for added comfort.

sleep tight, wherever you are tonight
rest, assured
The VW California sleeps up to four people, with two in the pop-top roof bed and the seating area also converting into a comfortable double.

snug in the dub
Winter camping? Not a problem. The VW California Ocean is fitted with an auxiliary heater to ensure you are always warm and cosy even on the chilliest nights.

laid back comfort
The lower bed features features a reclining function, allowing you to adjust the bed to a comofrtable position – ideal for reading a book, watching a film, or opening the panoramic pop-top roof window to enjoy the evening sky.

gourmet on the go
supplies, on demand
The kitchen is equipped a fridge, a two-burner gas hob and a sink with washing up bowl. You’ll also find saucepans, cooking utensils, kettle and crockery and cutlery, plus eco-friendly cleaning products and Dock & Bay quick-dry tea towels.

storage galore
Two sliding doors front the kitchen cupboards, which provide ample pantry space for your trip. The cupboards can be accessed while the lower bed is extended – be sure to store the mugs on the top shelf within easy reach for coffee in bed!

ready to roam
outside supplies
Would you belive this small van contains two tables and an extra two outside chairs? Cleverly concealed, you’ll find an outdoor table with collapsable legs stowed in the door, plus two camping chairs stashed in the tailgate. With a roll-out awning fitted to the side, the outside has never looked more welcoming.

more on board
Behind the rear seats you’ll find genrous boot space, as well as a wardrobe and cuboard with shelves for storage. Inside the wardrobe, a small sliding cupboard acts a blind to the small window, as well as providing extra space to stash your things. You’ll also find room in the ‘airline locker’ above the seats, and in the pull-out draw below them.

electric feel
Just about everything in the VW California Ocean can be controlled by the sleek, glossy panel above the cab, from the electohydrolic pop-top roof to the lighting inside and out.
