DO NOT Buy This VW Grand California without Watching This First - HONEST Review & Tour

[@gamallier1]

Little Lady is absolutely adorable!! Reminds me of my daughter when she was little. ❤❤

[@NewbWorld]

Cool concept. What are internet speeds and prices like when you're on the road?

[@overland-gaming]

Going for Starlink plus 4G bonded together so around 150mb down and 30/40 up on average - ish haha

[@overland-gaming]

Over the past 10 months since recording this we've used quite a few more Campervans from Breeze, mainly the VW Grand Californias, same model as this but even newer... Alot of my feelings still stand on this video but we've learnt quite a bit more about the vans. Still love it for a couple of weeks at a time, especially in the summer! Found it quite cramped in the winter, but all in all - not a bad van! What do you think of the Grand California!?

[@ABC-yd9nd]

The van is perfectly fine for the Winter, I should know living in Northern Scotland… the caveat is to have the diesel heater and not the gas option!

[@overland-gaming]

I’m going to see if we can try a diesel heated one! Gas wasn’t great from our experience ☺️😂

[@tanastaling]

@@overland-gaming But yours was a Diesel heater! The gas is only for cooking.

A big Differenzen to many motorhomes ist, that the grand California come direct Front VW. Thats a big plus in Service, you can go to almost any VW Dealer across Europe for Service, and there are thousands more AS RV Dealers. In Germany, in the year 2023, there are over 1200 grand California 600 for sale. I Just checked some for around € 60.000. Prices came down a lot this Fall. I Had a awd cal. 600 for a week, it did well for me. Saefty in the full Factory Crash tested California is one of the best in the Industrie. I Drive a new Sprinter, drove 9000 Miles since new and I'm on Recall ,# 8 so fare. It is a driving trouble spot 🙄🫣🙄

[@ahmadhizan8821]

Easy parking..hopefully I got one one day

[@overland-gaming]

The VW Grand California is not a bad campervan, but there are a lot of things that after "living" in it for a couple of weeks would really annoy me if this was my own van. That being said, it is a fantastic van for 1 week or a long weekend, and would highly recommend renting one before you decide to buy one!! Would love to hear your thoughts on the VW Grand California!

[@tracyjames9811]

Hilarious commentary, how’s your head…POW!

[@overland-gaming]

😂😂 it actually hurt haha

[@jasonnewton7969]

I’d absolutely love one but I’ll be pushing up the daises before I can ever afford one

[@overland-gaming]

Maybe one day! There are also some awesome alternatives that don't cost as much... If all else fails, grab one for a long weekend, great memories!

[@brioshoveit]

Looks abit plastic, and not that homey Can You handle it?

[@Scytheology]

Your interactions with everything makes me laugh so hard hahah. Love it though man good quality content as always

[@overland-gaming]

VAN TRIP SOON BABYYY thanks for watching bro 💪🏻😭❤️

[@xlerosbifx]

When the bathroom lock breaks 😂

[@overland-gaming]

😂😂 Gotta get that Allen key out haha

[@GedandMichele]

Mmm too much plastic and crazy price.I'd convert a,Crafter or Man myself.Great blog though

[@overland-gaming]

We’re doing a crafter conversion! Nice van

[@bsantos791]

That it is an horrible caravan for 90k no space,uncomfortable,etc Compare it with the knaus boxdrive 680ME witch is the same base and the difference it is huge!

[@overland-gaming]

I’d love to try the Knaus one time, they looks great!

[@roygardiner4002]

Too much kit crammed into a vehicle thats too small, at £90k it will be a flop, not big enough to live in and too expensive for an "odd weekend"er.

[@overland-gaming]

Thanks for the feedback Roy!

[@davidhayes4814]

Given the cost of VWs transporter “California” range, the Crafter based one’s always seemed to offer better value. That said, they seem to look a bit ungainly compared to the smaller T series vans.

[@tregaricus00]

"she's just saying that" 😂

[@overland-gaming]

😂

[@namename1]

This is 600 short one 680 better can you buy only the interior of it and put on sprinter

[@morts6565]

I’m surprised they will every let you review one again, just full of criticism 😅

[@overland-gaming]

There was some positivity!!! 😁😁

[@maartyzaruba3296]

Thanks for opinion. The moment you mentioned "Camping mode - I dont know what it does." I understood this is not a review but just a opinion flick. Could you spend like a minute studying the manual ? Not professional.

[@overland-gaming]

Thanks for YOUR opinion... Incoming "Unprofessional" reply. This is exactly that, my opinion on my time using these Campers. You can clearly tell I'm not a professional reviewer but simply giving my... opinion. This was nearly a year ago now and yeah and stayed in quite a few since, I'm fully aware camping mode just stops a few lights turning on - great. Could you spend like a minute just leaving a like and a sub?

[@maartyzaruba3296]

@@overland-gamingThanks for the feedback. I am usually off social networks since they're always confusing. However, posting a video with "DO NOT BUY" without studying all of the components is not responsible. I am searching the market for vans, and this confused me. You might have used a clickbait method, which is why the video showed up.

[@overland-gaming]

@@maartyzaruba3296 Of course I can post a video offering my buying opinion on the internet after using the vans for months. If you don't want, or like my opinion, that is also okay.. I would advise you though, if you're ONLY looking for a professional opinion, go to Top Gear, or a professional dealers page or website.

[@davidhunt8913]

Title is totally inappropriate. Drama out of nothing. Very unfair

[@roygardiner4002]

Title completely fair, for £90k ? you'd have to be mad.

[@davidhunt8913]

totally unfair, this is one persons opinion simply dramatised up into something it's not. Don't buy one if you think it's too much money, buy something else that has all the same issues with a different badge on it, you can replace the VW here with any van our there, problem here is the person has little experience at all, ask a seasoned camper person and they'll agree, he's simply out of his depth with minimal knowledge of the product or the pass-time / hobby / way of life. @@roygardiner4002

[@peakycap4255]

This van is horrible no much space inside to move around

[@overland-gaming]

Yeah, it’s quite cramped

[@LynetteShawMcKone]

That's a horrible van:, the layout is awful, I wouldn't buy it even if it was cheap. I'm suprised at VW.

[@jasonnewton7969]

I’d love one for a long weekend but again it’s affording one 🥹🥹
