The table has a clip at the bottom to secure and stop rattles. When putting the table away it needs to be pushed in against the clip to engage.

If only you could buy the VW California in California……seems a bit ironic that you can’t.

I love it. Kind of surprised how minimally different it is from my 72 vw type 2 camper. Bet it drives a hell of a lot better.

As below, the table has a clip at the base. Push back and the slightly forward and it clicks into place and doesn’t rattle. Nice video 👍

It reminds me of the Chevrolet Astro Van design. Are they ever going to produce this model the masses?

I renovated a 2013 vw van myself and spent only about 1/10 of this price. 😅

Not sure what sense it makes to have such a big kitchen inside. Would love to have a slide out outdoor kitchen where u can keep all the smell outside and have more space for other things.

NICE

This isn’t the sort of thing I’d ever looked at, or even been aware of, it’s not something that’s been on my radar, but Omaze U.K. are listing one as an early bird prize for their new Cornwall house raffle prize , so having bought a ticket I started looking around and found this great review. You never know, fingers crossed, but I’ve no idea what I’d do if I won it 👍😀

Table doesn’t rattle if stowed away properly.

I like your delivery, the camera work and editing. Ended too soon, needed more detail

If I had that money I’d get a bigger van or even a house and rent it out 😅

How good is it off-road (well like some mud and stuff). Can you have it with a rear locker? I know they use to offer this some time ago.

Intéressant

I can't believe the bed design still blocks the fridge when down. I've a swb T5.1 and even i can get into mine. Why didn't they do the u shape sofa with all the storeage underneath.
