Gudge · Oct 21, 2020

Hi Guys,
I’m new getting my 2017 California beach DSG next week from a good friend , he is buying a bigger adventure van. Sold my. Current T5.1 which I converted to a camper. Got some plans for the beach. I couldn’t do without a camper van now as I’m a Kitesurfer /mountain biker/paddleboarder. Always wanted one can’t wait

Welcome @Gudge. While we wait for pics of your new steed, let's see some pics of your conversion.

Was your 5.1 DSG as well?

Yes DSG I will never drive another manual. Pics of my current van be real sorry to see it go but going to a mate. Fitted a propex heater ,it’s the best thing in the winter after being out in the water. Luckily the new Cali has a heater so all cool or should I say warm
