  • Today I'm doing a deep dive in to what you need to do to get ready for bed in a VW California T6.1 campervan. We get asked a lot of questions here at the VW Commercial Vehicle showroom in Liverpool, and a lot of them involve bedtime routine in the California models.
    I'll cover getting all the blinds in place, so you have complete privacy, putting the bed down, lighting and importantly SECURITY. This is well worth a watch if you're considering buying a new or used California model, or maybe even if you've been using a California for years!
    Let me know what you think in the comments. I love hearing what you do in your Californias.
    Thanks for watching! California Chris.

    T6 océan: i always use the remote to lock. The alarm has never gone off.
    Those little t6.1 upgrades sure are nice !!

    The window blinds are neat but that front windscreen one is an awful contraption, it’s like a prototype that they forget to develop to a finished product!

    • @CaliforniaChris
      @CaliforniaChris  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's pretty simple to use, and it hides away nicely when not in use, but I have seen people who have third party windscreen covers that fit on the outside and then tuck in the doors.

    When locking from the inside, I’ve always used the remote but only after deactivating the alarm by pressing the button on the inside of the driver’s side B pillar with the driver’s front door open.

    Great video, Chris. It's what I need to know. What's the dimensions of the boot space under the bed? Thinking of buying 20L cooler box asap, hope you can reply asap? Many thanks.

    Hi Chris, we are now away in our 2019 California and the gas won't work. Full bottle (CHECKED) The forums say a common problem with the Gok valve safety crash cut off, but no way to reset. £60k van 4th trip away and no gas not so good VW. Any ideas on a quick fix or is it a warranty repair. Thanks great channel.
