This week we’re testing two vehicles in one. It’s the new Volkswagen Caddy California – a Golf-sized car you can drive about in all week and then use as a camper van at the weekend.
It’s what’s known in the camper van world as a micro camper and it’s ideal for those who fancy the larger California but who don’t want to struggle with using a large van as daily transport, or who haven’t got the £60,000-plus needed to buy one in the first place.
I love camper vans but I’ve never owned one that’s a bespoke conversion. The ones I’ve had were homemade conversions with very simple fittings. Like a single ring burner and a plastic tub for washing up in. But let’s get back to this new Volkswagen.
