Just wondered if anyones got any recommendations for a mat for the living area that would be suitable to go over california twin rails. Something practical that can be cleaned easily. I'm not after a custom one with cut outs, just a rectangular shape potentially 800-900x1000 so that it won't get...

Hello everyone, I was sitting on idle for about 15 minutes last week and suddenly the wipers did two sweeps of the screen. My Cali does have rain sensor but the stalk was set to the off poisition, I confirmed it by moving the stalk to the maximum setting and sure enough, the wipers went at...

Morning, I really like the storage arrangement for the California table and chairs and was wondering about cobbling together something for my panel van prior to getting it carpetted etc. Anyone done something similar ? I've bought a Honda CRV boot table of Fleabay and will probably just use a...

Hi, Since i've lowered my Cali it seems that the fridge pops open. It happens more on bad roads. Anyone suggestions on how the locking mechanism can be 'stiffened'? Greetings Leo

Just seen that VW have relented and are bringing both versions of the 6.1 Beach to the UK from the end of this month. More options for people who don’t want a full camper.

I’ve just been reading an old post regarding 20” staggered alloys rubbing the door cards on a caravelle? Does anyone know if this is down to the wheel/tyre combo or will this happen with any set up? I’m looking to go down the staggered route with either LV-1 or the Judd 311’s TIA

Hi – I've kindly been gifted a set of T6 California factory springs from a mate that had his Cali fitted with some -3cm lowering springs, so he no longer needs them. My van is a 2018 T6 T28 panel – pre camper conversion with 18" Toluca alloys (recent purchase). My question is – given that I...

Hi all, I've noticed on my t6.1 cali that the rear sits 20mm lower than the front. On a flat surface this means that the van sits level <1°. I'm just in the process of lowering it with a set of kw coilovers. And they dropped it in a way to keep the van level. But since it's dropped you can...

Looking to buy / build my first van. I have 2 questions I hope you may be able to assist with 1, can you get a LWB California from the factory? I think the answer is they are only SWB, but would love to be proved wrong. 2. Is there somewhere you can buy ( original or retro made) the internal...

Just finishing installing 2 x 110Ah LiFePo4 batteries and I want to disable the OEM charger. The charger is hidden behind the trim and is not easy to access so I believe removing one of theses green 30A fuses should do the job, but which one?

Hi all After many hours research and going around in circles(!) I am very close to buying a VW California Beach. It would be an easier sell to my other half if I can store the van in our garage (we are short on driveway space). I know I'm okay on the length of the van but could anyone tell me...
