This has to be the best “real world” review of the T6.1 beach currently available. Well done!

[CaliLeaks]

Pretty good summary of the Beach! One thing to point out is that the burner can be used for a morning cuppa with the bed out in the Camper version with the 2-seat bench as it is lower. You can also sit up in bed with the roof down, which is trickier with the 3-seater… unless you are Bentley 😀

Great video guys! I love driving the campers at work but only driven the 102ps Manuals and always been impressed, the new T6.1 is much better than the previous, much nicer cab!

Put the manual on your phone as pdf. Then you can ditch the paper copy at home.

Great video!!!! I am looking desperately for that 6-piece comfort mattress. Where did you get yours from? Only finding 3 piece

Love the review, waiting on ours to arrive in Australia and keen to order a Drifta kitchen but having a hard time to find the exact dimensions of this exact version under the shelf area in the back, particularly the height (without hitting that bar underneath or any hinges) and how deep a kitchen box or drawer can be when it’s set up properly in bed format (so there’s no gap). There haven’t been any to view at any of the dealers around here since last year or I’d go and measure it myself ;) thanks and keep up the great vids

[peteypops]

We really appreciate all the hard work you and Sean are putting in to these videos.

[matterson]

I love your videos keep making in them for someone who has a disability and can't drive these videos are fun for me because I can imagine that I'm part of the team

[PietroRusso-ld]

where can i buy the carpet set from ?
great video x

All measurements should be given in golden retrievers!😆

[michaelflinn]

What's the quality like? On the Grand California it's terrible. Literally failing all the time and no one seems to be able to fix things. The agents finally told me to join a online group to get assistance and fix things myself. Not good enough VW.

Really nice comprehensive review, thank you. We have a 2012 T5.1 California SE, but I am looking for a Beach camper and this was really helpful. ☺️.

[adiehull]

Love the Beach, less is more in my opinion! The extra space is great 👍🏻
PS, wish I could afford your wheels and suspension 😂 they look great

[entrelesmainsdupotier-arte]

🌏🗼🥐 *Hello from a FRENCH visitor* *It's my dream to have that kind of van* *I really love it* 🚐🚐🚐🚐 thank you for sharing with us!

[enyaq_gorm]

Agreed on cruise, my T6 is so much better than my tesla was. Phantom braking is a well known "feature" on the model 3 and has been for years now 😢

All our phones have been usb C for the last few years now.

[Professionalmoochers]

Good review with a nice vibe.
And… Shaun’s French!! 👌🏼🇫🇷🤩

[CYBERTWIN]

Have a you noticed any crackles on your audio when you have your phone plugged in and using CarPlay ? Drives me crazy !!!

[peten]

Great video…. 😊 How did you find the ride after you changed the wheels and suspension?

[martynholder]

Great video my last motor home was a coach bilt 7.4 m now looking for a camper van just for me with storage for my wing foil equipment don't want to keep moving about things to find them but still need a suitable replacement of my car

[feonajen]
