What makes the Grand California special?

This campervan is packed with thoughtful details. Up front, you'll find two swivel captain's chairs. The living area features a two-seater bench and a dining table. The kitchen boasts not only a refrigerator but also two gas burners and a small sink. Behind the bench is the bathroom, complete with a toilet, a fold-out sink, and a shower with hot water. The double bed is located in the rear, and a bunk bed is situated above the living area. A second outdoor shower is found in the rear, where additional camping chairs and a camping table are cleverly stored in the tailgate.

Disadvantages of the Grand California?

After our test, we found that handling and driving might feel a bit unfamiliar during the first few kilometers. However, thanks to the latest technology like lane assist and cruise control, you'll quickly enjoy the ride.

The Grand California's vehicle dimensions (length: 5,986mm, width: 2,427mm, height: 3,094mm) make planning spontaneous city trips and finding a parking spot a bit challenging. Most underground car parks are usually too low. If you've already driven a long distance, you should consciously remember the height and width of the campervan.

Advantages of the Grand California?

We tested the Grand California with various travelers. Both families with children and couples were very satisfied. Its special features make comfortable camping possible. Thanks to the two beds and the two-seater bench, up to four people can travel and sleep in the campervan. With a shower, toilet, and kitchen, off-grid camping is very easy and suitable even for camping beginners.

Who is this campervan for?

Not only will camping beginners and families with children love the Grand California, but it's also perfectly suited for those who want to work remotely. Its generous space and camping equipment are major advantages. We tested the Grand California with a family with two young children. While the family spends time outside with the camping chairs and table, one parent could sit in the living room and conduct a meeting.

What kind of trips is it suitable for?

Cold feet while sleeping? Not with this campervan! The auxiliary heater can be operated even when the vehicle is stationary. This makes winter camping easy and cozy warm. Do you want to spend a longer time in the south and even overwinter there? With the Grand California, you'll never run out of space. In the rear area above the bed and in the kitchen, there are cupboards for clothes and travel provisions.

Conclusion: Grand California Review

The campervan is quite large, which you'll notice when looking for parking and driving, but it also comes with many advantages. The hot water shower, storage options, kitchen with refrigerator, and living room with swivel seats are clear plus points. Campervans are versatile and particularly suitable for colder months or long-term rentals, as they offer so much comfort in one place.
