Custom VW Transporter Campervan | Pure Grey LWB

Hi everyone, one of our customers traded in this converted Transporter panel van by Platinum Wave Campers. So if you ever wanted to see a Pure Grey, UK specification (sliding door on the LEFT), long wheel base California - this is the closest thing you'll find at the moment!
As you can see from the video, Platinum Wave did an amazing job on this conversion! This vehicle now has a ton of non-standard options that really make it stand out.
Pure Grey paint, swivel plate for the two-passenger seating, amazing upholstery on the rear seating that flips over to have a lovely suede fabric for when you're sleeping, solar panels, heating, microwave. All absolutely stunning on a vehicle of this size.
The 4 berth stealth conversion includes water tank, leisure battery, windows on both sides and Webasto heating system. The interior is finished in dark carbon fibre with ultra modern white features too.

The carbon finish is brilliant

[@mr_glasgow84]

This just seems such a better set-up than the California models.

[@jonnevin7048]

LWB transporter should be the base for the California in the future. More space, very little lose in external size. I have a custom adventure van by Cjl and it is Amazing. Wet room for all my kit and still sleeps 4 people easily. Plus 10 days battery power 😜 off grid

[@CaliforniaChris]

That sounds incredible!

[@leeedwards3933]

The LWG Is the ONE I would go for in That spec, It looks Amazing, The ONLY Thing i prefer is the DSG. DARKSIDE Developments [Up North] Can do DSG Tuning and a Lot more for Longevity FOR THE GEARBOX, Also do VW/AUDI And now BMW Tuning In ALL Departments. Beautiful Van.

[@andyblake1849]

Pure grey Cali. Yes please. I’d have had it without doubt.

[@CaliforniaChris]

Oh yes! We've been asking for this paint option for ages. This conversion looks great in this paint.

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video

[@CaliforniaChris]

Thanks Jamie.

Hi Chris,Really love your videos and the relaxed way you present them .Where are you based ,and when is the next C&C show in brum.Many thanks.Kevinrpointer

[@CaliforniaChris]

Hi Kevin, I'm based in Wrexham VW Van Centre, but I'm sometimes in the Liverpool VW Van Centre as well. Not sure when the next Caravan & Camping show is, but it was in February this year, so I'd expect it to be around the same time next year.

[@marcbedingfield1934]

I would have that van over a cali any day

[@CaliforniaChris]

What's the main thing that stands out for you as being better than Cali?

[@marcbedingfield1934]

@@CaliforniaChris apart from the fact that some of the converters are producing vans that are easily as good as the california in terms of styling, fit and finish. THE PRICE, I put a california through the configurater the other day, only changed the paint colour and wheels and it was north of £75k, can we just take a minute to take that in £75k. The campervan market is massive, I see them driving about on a daily basis, do you know how many 21/22 plate californias I've seen on the road? 0. VW have completely priced themselves out of the market for the masses. Don't get me wrong at roughly £55k for converted van, that's not a cheap vehicle by any means but they have recognised that and off finance over longer terms, 7,8, 9, 10 years which make them more affordable. I have been a VW customer for several years now and currently owns a tiguan, if I walked into your dealership and said " I have £7k a year to spend with VW get me into a newish low milage california" there would be nothing you could do to help. I'm not doubting fir 1 second that the California isn't a great product but the pricing and short term deals means it is out of reach of 90% of your potential customers that would like a campervan

[@kevinpointer1187]

I wonder why VW don’t produce a fully fitted LWB as standard as I would buy one. Thanks Kevin Pointer

[@CaliforniaChris]

We can only hope they'll do this with future Californias.

[@kevinpointer1187]

@@CaliforniaChris Many Thanks Chris

[@stuarthall4117]

The weight of the furniture always concerns me with the conversions - What payload are you left with after?

[@CaliforniaChris]

Great question and a valid point. I bet a load of self-build converters don't factor this in when they're doing their builds.

[@nigeladams8508]

Furniture is usually made from lightweight ply

[@CaliforniaChris]

Cheers for the info, Nigel.

[@stuart3744]

Will the fold down bed fit someone at 6 ft 1 inch

[@CaliforniaChris]

Not sure on this model as we only had it for a day, sorry.

[@2patkay]

Nice i hope the car sell in our country, or you can send it?

[@CaliforniaChris]

You'd have to check with Platinum Wave Campers. This was only a trade in at one of our dealerships.

[@2patkay]

@@CaliforniaChris may i have dealership email?

[@CaliforniaChris]

@@2patkay visit www.platinumwavecampers.com there's a large Get In Touch button. Thanks.

[@markwinter7644]

Anyone know how much this particular van went for?

[@CaliforniaChris]

We didn't sell it, but you could always check on the converter's website.

[@octaviorenteria7020]

Te la compro al contado

[@swellerbunion8867]

Need a mortgage

[@CaliforniaChris]

😂 can't imagine it will be cheap for such a sleek conversion.

[@nigeladams8508]

Give it 12 to 18 months there will be a glut of these on the market because people will realise how much they cost to run especially with fuel prices as they are.

[@TheBeebg]

@@nigeladams8508 give it 12 to 18 months when the airports are closed, inflation is 15% and no one can afford a holiday - there’ll be a glut of these creating Van envy like never before 😜

[@CaliforniaChris]

You'd be surprised by how many of our customers have sworn off international travel for the long term. We've had customers who usually go abroad for their annual holidays who are more than happy to live the van life now. It's great to see.

[@TheBeebg]

@@CaliforniaChris agree Chris - bought a new van in Feb and loving it. When I look at the airport chaos it makes me smile. Yes the vans are expensive and yes they’re expensive to run - but a absolute no brainier in the current climate
