Remember the 1960's Hippie VW vans? No more!

Nice looking unit but I still hate VW's. Those old hippie vans were limited to 50 for good reason, unsafe at any speed.

When I told my mom in 2007 I was going to buy a minivan, she had no idea of what I was talking about. She said "you mean of those hippie vans"?

They were so dangerous and crazy, yet those VW vans are so awesome. :)

VW itself builds much better versions( Transporter and Crafter) . Here we have lot more choice to choose from. Renault Master is much more popular than the Transit. Japanese/ Korean Vans are a good choice
Older VW Crafter

I like this slightly modified one :)

Something I would definitely be in the market for, however it's a moot point as there are no plans to release this in the US.

Hi Folks,

My second camper was a 1980 VW Vanagon. Loved it but the engine was to small. This California might be what I need. One thing missing. A toilet and no room for a PortiPotti. Other than that, a great every day car that you could go camping. Price will be through the roof. Guess I shall keep my 2002 Roadtrek 190V for now.

A few interesting design features. One is the way the sofa converts to a bed. They added foldaway cushions that must add a great deal to the comfort.
Would I use it for a long trip? I'd answer with a question: where's the toilet and shower?

These are used for short journeys or weekends away. Max Number 2
