Volkswagen Campers Top Awards Ceremony

This might be a shock for some of you, but motorcaravan magazines actually exist out there. And if they exist, that must mean that people actually buy motorcaravan magazines, which is even more surprising. But, nevertheless, their opinion is valid, and two of them awarded the Volkswagen California campervan and the Transporter van base vehicle in their annual awards.

Volkswagen California was voted the Best Multi-purpose Motorcaravan at the The Which Motorcaravan Awards 2010. The Volkswagen Transporter was runner up in the Base Vehicle Category.

The MMM Awards 2010 powered by Motorcaravan Motorhome Monthly recognized the Volkswagen California as the winner of the Small Motorhome/Camper category. The judges named the California “the ultimate Volkswagen campervan”.

“It’s not just the way the California looks or drives that makes it a winner,” said Peter Vaughan, Editor, Which Motorcaravan magazine. “Much of what makes the California great will be common to any conversion of the latest T5 Transporter. No, it’s the detailing that makes the California special.

“Throughout, the California feels beautifully executed – from the way the blinds are concealed to the thorough automotive trim around the windows and roof aperture. Volkswagen even hides a couple of folding outdoor chairs on the inside of the tailgate and an outdoor table inside the sliding door which has electric latching so you don’t have to slam it like the campers of old. Class. Sheer class,” he continued.

If interested in buying a campervan in the UK, you should know that the range starts at £39,950 or from £399 a month.
