The Volkswagen California Ocean Edition (2022) is the most fully equipped factory-built camper van in Volkswagen’s California series, based on the Volkswagen Transporter T6.1. It combines the practicality of a passenger van with the functionality of a full-fledged camper van, designed for travelers who want a compact vehicle without sacrificing comfort or features. This camper van features a smart, modular interior layout with four sleeping berths, a fully equipped kitchen, and ample storage space. An electric pop-up roof creates an additional sleeping area upstairs with a panoramic view, while the lower bench can be converted into a bed. The vehicle is finished in metallic silver with 18-inch wheels and high-gloss black accents on the mirrors, grille, bumpers, logos, and side skirts. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter diesel engine producing 150 pk and a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. The van has only 26,001 km on the odometer and comes from its first owner. It underwent a service in 2024, and the original manuals and maintenance history are included. The California Ocean Edition offers comfort and autonomy, making it suitable for both short weekend trips and long road trips across Europe. It features reinforced suspension for camper weight, good sound and thermal insulation, and a range of comfort options including adaptive cruise control, front assist with emergency braking, parking sensors, rearview camera, driver fatigue detection, hill hold control, and a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additional features include a digital cockpit, Bluetooth, voice control, navigation system, USB and 12V ports, three-zone climate control, auxiliary heater, heated front seats and mirrors, insulated curtains, blackout shades, LED interior lighting, and an external power connection for campgrounds. The vehicle also has internal batteries for lighting and refrigerator operation when parked, as well as fresh and gray water tanks.

The van is fitted with Michelin Cross Climate 2 all-season tires and privacy-tinted rear windows. This vehicle is a compact luxury camper that offers sleeping accommodations, a kitchen, heating, modern driver-assistance systems, and infotainment, providing the freedom of a camper van with the comfort and reliability of a modern Volkswagen Transporter.
