Car reviews

Many people will have fond memories of once owning a 'Camper van'. And while plenty of these old camper vans are still on the roads, it is perhaps easy to overlook the fact that Volkswagen still sells its equivalent today. Based on the Volkswagen Caravelle, the California offers a four-seat/four-berth travelling companion and even comes complete with the kitchen sink. The California sleeps two in it's pop-up roof compartment, and two in the passenger compartment, and can carry water and gas. It might lack the simplistic charm of the original 'Camper', but it's a capable part-time traveller, and is certainly more manageable than a proper motorhome.
