Big Red – VW 5.1 California Beach with portable kitchen - ready to roam!

Big Red is our fabulous VW T5.1 California Beach camper van - factory fitted high spec VW Cali conversion from 2012.

We are now using camplify to rent out our van. Please use that booking method as I am having difficulties disabling this account.

The California Beach vans don't usually have a kitchen inside the van, but we have added a small portable sink and gas burner unit that can be used inside or outside the van. There is a 12v cool box in the van too, so you have all the benefits of a kitchen, and a full width 'downstairs' bed. You also get a pop top bed with sprung base and versatile equipment to cook outdoors too.

Big Red is really versatile, the seats can be moved on rails and the interior is focused on sleeping and relaxing. There are two seats in the front which swivel and a three seater bench in the rear.

The pop-top bedboards elevate to make room in the daytime, and there is an intergrated table which can be used inside or outside the van.

The van drives well and is really comfortable to travel in.

We include safety kit (fire extinguisher, high vis vest, first aid kit).
