    California Solar

    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...

    Fuel economy difference between t6 and t6.1 California

    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...

    VW California ‘Style’ collapsible table advice

    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...

    So how much energy does a T6.1 California Ocean fridge use? - I just measured mine.

    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...

    California with solar panel

    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)
