- The California is the most popular camper van ever and this is the VW California XXL prototype! With its systematically thought-out interior and an absolutely unmistakable design, the Bulli - with its pop-up roof - became an icon for motoring globetrotters and camping enthusiasts. Now Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has the taken the legendary concept of the California and applied it to the next size up in camper vans, refined it further and come up with the California XXL Concept. It is based on the new Crafter, which is among the most modern all-round transporters in the world, with its comfortable and safe handling, efficient engines and a wealth of driver assistance systems. This film has no commentary but none is necessary. It will show you some of the internal details of this very interesting concept which unfortunately was cancelled at the prototype level! However, in its place came the VW Grand California and you can see that in other videos on this channel!
Music : Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovski
I live in a motorhome full time and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life.
In my TH-cam channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg and others.
I cover equipment, including 12v electrical equipment and talk a lot about lithium batteries.
I also show some of the places I have visited in Europe in my own motorhome, as well as the places you can stay at! I try to give as much coverage as I can to official campsites and free places which I use for overnighting. Therefore you can find here the aire or stellplatz that you are possibly looking for.

5:55 “Man, we need to show the bathroom”
“What should I do?”
“Check your eyebrows”
Please please bring this to the United States. Love it!
Yes, if you get the UAW permission .
Chunk Looks romier than the Road Trek I was looking at for $150,0000. .
Looks like a spaceship from Star Wars. Nice.
Really nice design,the modules systems better than any others, less plywood decorations, less maintenance,and hi-tech.
Really cool innovations and ideas going on big time. The creative ideas born out of this concept vehicle will create new and even more exciting innovations. Pretty cool.
..Great design. Marvellous toilet /bathroom design..
I could do with one of those in my flat.
brilliant video, nice music very well done. Van looks brilliant too, although no bike and solar space.
it is a very very perfect
Unfortunately only a prototype that will never be built!
lol I started clapping when the video ended. round of applause!
Thanks for getting to the end Serena!
That's a bit sad.
We would love it in the UK 🇬🇧 as well
Well done !
Nice!
They should use solar energy and battery to run all electrical equipments cooking, freeze , heating lighting etc.(no LPG at all)
How big do you think a battery is going to have to be to heat a van?
이거지!
우리도 21세기에
이런거 만들어봐라!
That’s nice! I hope they put it out in the US. It would sell. Solar windows in the roof, there should be an automotive product on the market in the near future, maybe that’s part of their plan. The technology seems almost there.
VW could quickly establish a strong position in the van camper category against Thor/Airstream with products like this.
This is the first one I’ve seen where I said, yeah. . . I could live and travel in that on a several month, go pretty much anywhere voyage.
I think it will be built but when I don''t know!
I hope I can get this in the USA before I die.
It might yet happen!
I want this!
Volkswagen👍🏼👌🏽💪🏼
Thanks, Alan. Yes, it would be nice to see this in the States. I'd be interested to know if you can screen off all the overhead light when need be.
Richard, I posted films on the night lights and seems it can be closed but using a switch. I filmed a plastic from a company called Polyplastic last September which may be worth looking at as this dims the inside of the van like curtains almost!
Please.. Bring this to South Korea
Ooh, I want one.
For some reason cannot understand which part of the toilet is sliding out and couldn't really understand the design of the washroom/bathroom. Was too zoomed in or ambiguous vaguely shown. Literally watched it atleast 5-7 times trying to understand the design of the loo room.
I would like to do a better job for you but as this vehicle will never get built, I won't be able to. There was only one prototype model and this was it!
What a weird video - they spend all their time on computer screens and the guy is always looking at himself in the mirror.
It's called "roughing it".
Bill Mooney it’s a press kit video. It gives media outlets some b roll footage to use.
"Yuropeens"
If they made the press video far more raunchy (soft porn through out, after sex she makes him something to eat, more sex on upper level, man or woman sits on the crapper, man/woman/couple shower after..) this thing would sell big time.
Should be playing Carly Simon's Your So Vain.
I wanted to buy this car until i saw this video
Glad to have been of assistance.
За Чайковского плюс 100 лайков. Жаль не сняли парящую ручку и черный параллелепипед. Или при монтаже вырезали?
Какая ручка?
@@VanlifewithAlan вот эта th-cam.com/video/iyyvZChklxk/w-d-xo.html
That man must of found on that road and ate a shit load of shrooms. It's the only reason I can think of why he is fixated on himself in that mirror.
Would customize the ugly back though.
Badly needed alteration. The rear-view is a total spoiler.
I want one. Without legs on the table 😜
I can't get my legs on the table as it is too high.
Alan Heath no like the legs of the table itself 😁 maybe they could cantilever it in place somehow. Easier access 👍🏻
Volkswagen crafter camper
Please make it I want it
So did you like it up close? I mean lots of potential wow moments like the coffee machine, the projector and the two fridges(!) (although that would be a big no no for a certain Mr A Heath n''est pas? ) it looks VERY grey, I know grey is in vogue at the mo, but as sure as eggs is eggs what's in fashion now, will be very passé in the future. I'm guessing price wise , should it reach production as is, north of 90k?
I think it is great. Not for me as I suspect it may not be practical for my use but for many it would be just the job. I would not like to speculate on price but would suggest that your idea might be the price of a used one - in bad condition!
Alan Heath I must admit that after I put that figure I thought 'daft lad' add 100... I'm guessing you are doing the NEC later this year? I have the joy of going there this week for the Autumn Fair.
I am not going Andrew. As a press person I expect them to lay on free accommodation but they expect me to pay GBP30 per night for having the privilege of giving their clients free publicity!
they charge you for going? They must be fcuking crazy - 60,000 people have seen just this film and you put up hundreds. What morons.
Музыка в тему)))))
Русская музыка тоже! Чайковский!
Hostess, it's delicious
Vans have to be a little austere and a little bit rugged.
icecream van, ill stick to the regular California
Have they other options in point colors? blue, gray..
It is a prototype but I suppose it will have a other colour options when it comes out!
Germans went crazy :D
Will this camper blow over on extremely windy days? Just saying / asking.
I hope not!
The technical gadgets are good. But too white and the glass roof is madness.
WOW IMAGINE THE PRICE TAG IN THE US SWEET RIDE
Like the car, hate the music.
Now if they put a soft serve stall with cone dispenser off the back I could finance my van life...
how come you can play this music copyrights ok
It is not copyright.
Very nice, but for the price, space, durability and residual value I would rather go for an Airstream RV, towed by an VW Atlas.
People will call still call it ugly coz it won't have engiene and it wouldn't drive by itself
How much it
I'll pay 90k usd for one.. I would like to add one thing.. Some roof blinds or black out screens
SuperDv8 how much u make annually and what u do to get it?
Imagine a hail storm
has not been produced as far as I know..
This van was a prototype and VW decided not to go ahead with it. However it did produce the Grand California instead.
@@VanlifewithAlan exactly- but not as nice. and as far as I can see- there is no front bed in the Grand?
@@tammylain7754 There can be a front bed in the Grand - I have a video of one like this!
@@VanlifewithAlan can I see it? :-)
@@VanlifewithAlan found it--th-cam.com/video/3AMJxpfvoS0/w-d-xo.html
Does the lady come with the van?
I WISH THAT GUY WOULD STOP PLAYING WITH THE DAMN BUTTONS AND SHOW THE ABILITIES OF THAT AWESOME CAMPER VAN ... BUY THE WAY DOES THOSE SKYLIGHTS HAVE SCREENS? .... JUST IN CASE .... BY THE WAY I REALLY HATE TOUCH SCREENS ....
Was it just me, or did anyone else get seasick watching them use the front dining area?
Europe has the BEST RV/motorhome designs. American RVs are outdated and stale. I'd convert a short school bus before I bought an American made RV - especially for the money.
Michael Self except the Earthroamer. But that's insanely expensive.
Those telescopic structures that come into contact with water are easily damaged and difficult to maintain.
How many in dolars americanos? I so expensive?
It is only a prototype - you cannot buy it!
But are you able to go in the bathroom and detail your eyebrows for five minutes? That's all I care about.
I tried to find out for you but the door of the toilet in the prototype was locked.
You are a portable potty patriot Cpt Heath and I salute you.
LOL, dude couldn't stop admiring his eyebrows. Is that a German thing?
LMAO
Would not like to clean them windows
I never bother anyway Kevin!
Your screwed in a hair storm.
I don't like the kitchen
Needs a bidet.
I use the sink.
If you wear your watch on the right you can't be taking serious
if you are a guy who judges people by how they wear a watch, i cant take you seriously
price??
Prototype
Just got no feel to it
To sterile environment and what was
that about going into toilet and check my eyebrows.derrr
does anyone knows the background soundtrack name please??😊
Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker Suite - Waltz of the Flowers
how the phuque does one filter non-U.S. videos. Not hatin' but does me no good if all the kewl stuff I can't buy is overseas. i need info. on stuff we have that I CAN buy.
Martin you can do this in the search engine. There is a place for geography - although some of the stuff I film is available in the US. This van is not available anywhere yet.
Thank you for the Info. √'ed and settings are set to U.S.. Can these camper vans be imported to the U.S.?
한국에 거들어오면 가격은 얼마인지 모르지만 정말 잘팔릴듯 그리고 국내 거품심한 캠핑카업체들 줄도산 ㅋㅋㅋ
I like it but it shouldn’t cost more than $70k
No chance of that John. If they ever build it, and they probably will, it will be well into six figures!
bed
1:43 song name?
Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky.
Come on VW should of just kept fiddling emissions, this thing is ugly as me! One puff of wind it may topple over?
The b-roll at the beginning lost my attention really quick. Might want to try more upbeat music.
Connor, whatever music I put in, I will get complaints.
I'm just saying in general, it's a very neutral sound. There's some really great stuff here on TH-cam that vloggers use that would be a good option!
Connor this was the only music from TH-cam of this length in the ''happy' genre. Copyright free too!
I like! How much is it! Can we
I like it too!
the girl looks like Beverly D'Angelo
I don't know who Beverly is but the lady in the film is very attractive in my opinion. I don't like the tattoo though.
Beverly D'Angelo is an american actress, famous for "vacation" series of movies with Chevy Chase. Look it up and tell me your opinion. :-)
I just looked Beverly up - I see she was married to Al Pacino! I prefer the lady in the VW - even compared to Beverly 30 years ago!
i prefer Beverly d'angelo
Welcher Mann schaut sich minutenlang seine Augenbrauen an?
Nachdem ich diesen Film gesehen hatte, dachte ich, ich wäre der einzige Mann, der seine Augenbrauen nicht minutenlang ansah!
Alan Heath ich brauche dafür Sekunden, hahahaha
Beam me up Scotty
me too
Its nearly like a piss take with that music.
Looks flimsy and easy to break any of the sliding and flipping parts.
בס''ד מבקש תרגום לעברית
Clever, but really ugly from the outside and I wouldn't like to try staying in it with two or more people if it was raining.......
Still not room to swing a cat in
Maybe you could get a small cat John?
Maybe you should not be swinging cats, John.
this video is CREEPY
what is creepy about it?
Paul Harding it's the couple, they're creepy and hollow.
special people who never take a dump
Instead of making bombs people build something useful for their everyday life.
That is what I think to. Van dwellers don't start wars and I have yet to meet one that was a hater.
that is what i hate most in european car industry, they think looks not practicality.... not worth having because it does not serve the cause ( camping)
Nice inside, ugly outside and will no longer fit in many car parks or parking bays, unlike the 'old' California.
All VW fantasy because they don’t plan to build it. None of the car companies want to commit to a “camper” vehicles because Millennials are to fascinated by fast cars. Keep hoping. Nissan is building a Westfalia style camper van from a smaller SUV but I’d doesn’t compare to the bay window campers, 68-79.
I have it from a very reliable source within the company that it is likely to be built - although maybe not in this same form!
Midlife crisis van.
Not really campervaning though is it if your going away in a souless insipid box full of technology.Where does the bikes,awning,bbq,bedding and all the extras go? Waste of money buying one of them,camping is about getting away from everything that van is.
Camping means different things to different people.
young people don't want those things
@saleenr6 you right tho
This thing looks ----ing ugly. What does its looks really say? BIGGER VAN.
