Good afternoon from The Vw California. This is my first post to the new blog on Vw Camper Crazy (or any blog for that matter). I bought a new Vw California last year and became such an enthusiast of them that I set up a website relating to it. When I was buying mine I found very little information on the web relating to The Vw California. Everything, (apart from Vw’s sales pitches) was about the classic V dub campers. Don’t get me wrong, I am a fan of these, however, we needed a van to act as an everyday family run about, aswell as for camping trips and family ‘away days’. We’ve been dreaming about owning a camper for years, however, I have no mechanical expertise and didn’t want to risk owning a van that could potentially leave my wife stranded with the kids (or me for that matter), and so when we stumbled accross the new factory built california in a showroom, we got completely carried away and signed on the dotted line, as they say! I’ve got no regrets, I think they’re a superbly well designed and practical vehicle, with all the safety features and reliability expected of a modern vehicle. The Vw California is a future classic i’m sure. I think it bridges the gap for the Vw fans who like the idea of a camper, but can’t take the risk on a classic. The Vw California site is still very much under construction, feel free to visit and leave feedback, questions or advice relating to the The Vw California. In the mean time I hope to be a regular contributor here, fighting the corner for the new breed of Vw owners and sharing my experiences of owning one. Vw campers, whatever model, offer a unique experience for owners from all walks of life. If we share our experiences and advice, i’m sure we can all benefit, so forget your package holidays and keep camping!!
