Understanding VW California Electrics - Part 2 | California Chris

Today we're continuing our two part series on the VW California T6.1 electrics by looking at the back of the vehicle, the roof section and some more important information about the electrics and power points in the Ocean and Coast.
Let me know if you think there's something I've missed in these two videos in the comments. If you're still not sure about something drop me a message.
Thanks for watching! California Chris.

Solar camper solutions professionally fitted my 240w solar panels, It would be good if you informed everyone the capacity watt hours on the leisure batteries & Max watts on 12v outlets, its about time VW start putting lithium batteries, thanks Chris 😊

Hi what about the California beach tour electrics as they are very different from my understanding from the rest the California range can we have some more information about them

[@sheilalowe9058]

A couple of questions, regarding Cali Ocean; 1. Do all the the 12 V Sockets run of driving battery? 1. Are all USB's type 'C'?

[@alanwallace7443]

Does the aircon work on hook up hook up as it seems to want the key turned on for it ?

[@paolacotti8853]

thank Chris for yours videos. could you explain how you can close the roof if you unfortunately are without electricity

[@lloydneno7]

Thank you a lot!!!!

[@CaliforniaChris]

You're welcome!

[@DanHeywood92]

Thanks for the info Chris. Just wondering if you could recommend a pull out drawer system that fits in the rear of the vehicle under the bed. Have any of your customer had anything like this ?

[@BOOMEL12]

Chris many thanks helpful. Two observations please, why does the usb and interior lights remain on when the vehicle is locked? Is there a way of making sure these go off?

[@pedromaia9321]

Dear Chris, thank you for all the information and updates you're doing a great job. I have a 2017 California COAST and can you please tell me if, once on the hook up this particularity model will charge all the three batteries? Thank you very much. You rules. Cheers from Portugal. Pedro Maia

[@seanfallon4580]

When your on hook up it should charge all 3 batteries, I had a 2018 coast and it did

[@pedromaia9321]

Dear@@seanfallon4580 Thank you very much for your kick answer. Cheers

[@seanfallon4580]

Your welcome Pedro 👌

Hi Chris Thanks for the video, two questions: 1. Does the roof 12V plug run from the leisure battery? (I would assume yes) 2. Can you explain the "max charge" function in the CU and is there a way to turn it on permanently? (Does it do the same effect as having a battery booster installed..?)

[@CaliforniaChris]

1. Yes. 2. It's a feature that revs your engine more than usual (even while driving) to make sure your batteries are charging as quickly as possible. Obviously, this uses more fuel than normal, but could come in handy if you're just popping to some shops, for example, but going straight back to the campsite. There's no way to turn it on permanently.

We were wondering if we fitted a solar panel and then something went wrong In the van, would this negate the warranty in any way?

[@SueRussell-s6u]

Hi Chris Just to be clear does my 18 plate ocean charge the engine battery as well when on hook up?

[@j4nch]

Hi everyone! One thing I would be very interested to know is how to lift the roof without having any headlight coming on? Typically if we were staying here the day we would have left the roof down, then just pop it up when coming back late, and since you have to make turn on the vehicule, even with headlight off, even in camping mode, they turn on :(
