How to Level a VW California at a Campsite! | California Chris
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This is probably one of my most requested videos - how to level a VW California Ocean / Coast / Beach at a campsite. This is a fairly easy task, but it requires some additional equipment which I'll go through in this video.
It's a MUCH easier task with the new VW California Ocean T6.1 as there is a gyroscope built into the vehicle, which you can view through the new Control Panel.
Let me know how you level YOUR camper vans when you're at a campsite. I want to hear all of your tips and tricks in the comments.
Thanks for watching! California Chris.

Important to note, as someone else has asked - when you’ve finished manoeuvring onto the blocks, you will need to take the handbrake off or you won’t be able to swivel the seats. When you take the handbrake off, the vehicle will rock back down about a degree. It’s quite disconcerting if you aren’t ready for it. And of course it reduces the amount of lean you can level out. 👍🏻

Thanks for pointing this out, Chris!
Fantastic educational video. Please keep them coming. The colour of that Van is absolutely gorgeous.

Hi Chris. I would like to know if you can add the radio station logos on to the vw6.1 infotainment system, not the discovery media pack. I have added a sd card with the logos and can not see how to transfer them to the selected radio station. I can see other models can but no instructions for this yet. Cheers
I have a VW Campervan book (Cool recipes and camping hacks for VW campers by Dave Richards) that says ‘it is important that you should always - always, without fail -reverse up onto your levelling blocks: it is something to do with leading and trailing shoes in the back brakes. Whatever, if you reverse onto them, the handbrake will hold the bus, if you go up forwards it won’t’. Can I assume that this is written for the vintage vans and not the modern vehicles?
So when you have to drop the hand brake to swivel the drivers seat on a DSG does Park lock the wheels?

Yes it does. But it rocks back down up to about a degree until it engages the pawl.
I really do enjoy your videos - but a 12.5 minute film telling California owners how to use ramps to level their van may just be the definitive proof that someone who pays over £70k for a Transporter probably has more money than sense? Of course that may just be jealousy as I struggle to convert an older van into my own VW Caledonia “Loch” edition on a budget of £15k! Stay safe - and keep ‘em coming…
