A family friend is after a camper and loves our Cali but wants something bigger and with a bathroom.
That’s easy I said, the Grand California. However once I started looking into them I got a feeling that VW might have dropped the ball on this one.
The cabin seems cramped as does the bed (600) and also the bed above the front seats too. Also just doesn’t give me the ‘glowing’ feeling that the Cali does. Seems very clinical.
This is a long way of saying, hand on heart I don’t feel comfortable recommending one to them. This family member is the type of person who’d take my advice and order one (very gung-ho, unlike me who researches everything to death!)
I’ve read the various threads about the alternatives and have to say, even though I love our California (I recommend these to anyone who’ll listen) I get the feeling that the Grand California could have been better, it seems some of the alternative Crafter builds are better thought out.
I’ve also seen some ex demos which are sticking around as opposed to Cali’s which are selling like hot cakes.
Happy to be wrong, would be great to hear some thoughts.
