This is the top-of-the-range VW California Ocean, in a lovely colour scheme.
The car is packed with features to make your journey as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. You'll benefit from a Rear View Camera and front and rear parking sensors to make it easier to park in tight spots including...
We have a T5.1 camper with a solar panel on the roof and find it indispensable for trips away. The trusty T5.1 will soon be replaced and it is looking likely that our new steed will be a T6.1 California. Solar is not a factory option, so how easy is it to get solar fitted to a California and...
I have the opportunity to sell my t6.1 110bhp manual camper conversion and purchase a 2023 california ocean-
It will cost me roughly an extra £150 pcm and will be a daily driver too, like my current vehicle.
To me I want to pull the trigger as the difference between the two vehicles is...
Buying our first campervan next year with a budget of 65-70k. Looked at lots of conversion companies like CamperKing , HighLife, Moor Lake and Denby. Seen loads of great vans with great spec. However had a look at a local Road Surfers and was impressed with Californias.
We will be doing mainly...

I‘m considering buying a t6 but am put off by the fuel consumption of 9 litres per 100 km on a van with 4 motion dsg and 204ps. The same model t6.1 with newer 150ps motor seems to do a more respectable 7 litres per 100 km. These numbers are from sprit monitor.de
As far as I understand the key...
Good day,
My main car battery recently died so I ended up re-charging the battery with another boosting battery and cable. I was able to re-start the car, but since then the auxiliary battery constantly indicates low battery and no lights, nor fridge, nor electric roof top works. Even the...
Hello everyone, I would like to know how to check if the alternator of my 2017 Ocean is charging the leisure batteries correctly. If I turn on the control panel with the engine running, the indicated voltage does not rise, even when I turn on the refrigerator, for example .... I usually load the...
Hi,
I’m currently looking to replace my internal folding table with something more useful. It’s rarely used and limited to the van.
I’ve seen similar tables at campsites/festivals with 4 legs and can be used outside which I think is from California Beach or Ocean.
My idea is to replace the 1...
Since I got my solar running properly I have been testing to see if the system really is self-sufficient. That means fridge on 24/7 sitting on my driveway - trying not to move it.
So some numbers ....
Solar is regularly delivering 0,72 kWh a day (measured over the last 5 days running the...
In the process of analysing my solar install before making the next step to Lithium.
It turns out there is a company in Germany who have collaborated with VW and are offering a fully integrated, VW approved Lithium install on Beaches and Oceans. The camper unit is even re-calibrated to...
We fitted some solar panels and associated bits to our camper the other other day and just wanted to check I had it set up correctly….
Should I have the battery presets set to AGM spiral cell whatever that is? (See attached from the VictronConnect app)

Hi all, first post here but have been lingering for a while.
I've had some split charge issues with my 2017 t6 Cali Beach. Purchased it a few months ago. I have the relay with 100 written on it with all associated cables, the 80 amp fuse under the passenger seat, the leisure battery and...
