We love the new VW Camper! Oddly enough, it’s called the “California,” even though it won’t be sold in America. Come on, VW! What gives? Sell that beauty over here!

You may not be able to have a VW 'California' in the US but check out what it actually takes to legally import a car over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HvgkdVPfaQ
I don't like it because it doesn't look like a VW CAMPER VAN
Love it😘
Ya, but I can't put everything back where they were.
Someone send me one 😣 TX!! Lol
I know it good for camping car.
Really appreciate you taking off your shoes. It's the little things.
ok not to be a jerk but guy you look like you are about 5'4" so yeah everything is going to be a nice fit….no way in heck is this going to work for a 6'5" individual not to mention a couple
So now the roof cant be pushed up, you have to use a control panel instead (looking suspiciously like the arduino control panel on my cheapo 3d printer). Imagine, getting to the camp site with your kids and discovering you cant get their bedroom open LOL The table set up is really odd too as it blocks off the doors when its stowed. Sometimes simple is better.
Too bad not here in America but it needs more storage for camping/travel and why didn't they fix a way to have a curtain for the shower on the back door? Also I would prefer a hybrid with gas that charges the electric part and switches when needed for more power to gas and then back to electric when no gas is needed. Because who knows where in the wild you could get power to charge it? I just wish they had made it a bit bigger so that you could pack more items because that wouldn't hold our items for travel.
What are toilet options for such vans. They’ve shown shower but what about emergency loo
Your camper doesn’t have a restrooms
Name it after the California lifestyle but don't import to the US! Typical VW.
Naming California on anything is not a good selling tactic these days. The VW camper is an expensive sardine can. Remember, in the US, canvas campers are ‘verboten’ in some National Park and state park campgrounds “… grizzly country, only hard-sided campers (no tents or tent campers) are allowed.” There have been too many unpleasant incidents
Show up in that VE rag top and you will be sent away.
Great car, if I had the money, I would buy it
You got my sub 🙂
How much does it cost ✨🇺🇲
The only thing VW didn't do was provide a shower curtain to hang on the rear door
Joli !!
1:30 I like that LOL. Take off shoes when you walk into a home.
I don't like how you had to go to a menu to open the roof though. The settings can be in a menu, but direct functions should not be. What if the control box had some problem, you'll lose the ability to open that roof.
That would make a good band wagon for the ‘Awesome Foursome’
No toilet
Hahaha yes a must to look good coming out of the closet😆😆😆how did he fit in there?
This really pisses me off that VW doesn't sell this in North America. Bullshit
Mickey mouse camper. Should have made it much longer.
This is a total tease especially because they ARE NOT OFFERED FOR SALE IN USA. Why promote this??????
Wow amazing 😊💖😊
Germans must shit everywhere outside – They didn't show a toilet with this video?.. but I'm sure You can take a shovel with you to dig your toilet everytime you want to poo. There are also small portaloos available.
I am more interested in removing the rear seats and stiil being able to use the table. This seems built for four people, but I don't like such close quarters. Especially when the toilet might be a drill with a garden auger to dig a hole. Door panel furniture is perfect though.
You wanna look good when you're "coming out of the closet"
nice, but i'll keep my 85 westy.
watched the whole video thinking you can't buy 1 I use and then you confirmed it
Hey…..will you be doing any travel videos in aeurope? Maybe we could do a collaboration video…..her's a link to my recent NC500 trip to Scotland… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OoM5WzxoISI it was great!
Where’s the shitter?
Where can I buy this van in the u.s?
Food I guess they call it
Cost?
Why call it, “California” whe you can’t even own one here? Stupid!
Me saying I might buy this!
Me with 20 dollars in my bank account
Top. 🙂
Is there a loo?
👍👌🙌
Why isn’t this available in the US?
Te la dejan 3 días y la devuelves hecha pedazos, señor nervio!
VW camper vans are just a fashion statement, and like everything to do with fashion you are making a compromise to be ‘fashionable’
In the case of the VW campervan the main compromise is comfort
110,000 in my country which is about 77,000USD , not worth it for that much
