About this listing
A genuine factory Volkswagen California Ocean — the top of the range, sold in the UK as the SE and everywhere else as the Ocean. Built as a camper at Hannover, not converted afterwards. The pop-top roof, the integrated kitchen, the swiveling front seats and the folding rear bench all came off the same line together, which is why everything still lines up and still works. Circumstances have changed and the van has to go. That's the whole story. It has never let us down and I would keep it if I could. $48,000, and I'm open to sensible offers — serious enquirers only, please. Built in 2012 and imported from the UK. The 2.0 BiTDI is the twin-turbo 180 — the strongest engine offered in the T5 — through a six-speed manual, which you notice the moment the van is loaded or pointed up a hill. It has covered just 68,648 km, it has been serviced regularly throughout, and registration runs to 6 February 2027. The factory pop-top lifts to sleep two upstairs and the rear bench folds flat for two downstairs. The integrated kitchen unit carries the sink and the fridge, both working. Both front seats swivel round to face the back and the dining table stows in the door, so the cabin becomes a living room when the weather sends you inside. For Queensland the things that actually matter are the air conditioning, the privacy glass and the fridge, and all three do their job. There is a night heater as well, which you won't need often here but you'll be glad of the first time you take it up the range or head south in July. It also has a 240 V hookup with the leads included, so on a powered site everything runs off the mains and the fridge looks after itself. The bodywork is clean and straight, the interior has been looked after rather than just cleaned up for sale, and it presents well inside and out. It is a well-maintained, carefully owned camper — but it is also thirteen years old, so please come and look rather than take my word for it. First to see will very likely buy. Worth knowing before you come Three things to know before you drive over. I'd rather you read them here than find them in the driveway. The gas hob has been removed. The kitchen unit, the sink and the fridge are all present and working — the hob itself is gone. You would either cook on a portable stove, as we have, or refit a hob. The leisure batteries need replacing. They no longer hold a useful charge, so plan on a new set. Everything they power works normally on a hookup. Some minor upholstery repairs are needed. Nothing structural and nothing you would notice from a metre away, but it is there and I would rather say so.
