Yearning for a free and romantic getaway amidst a busy life? We recommend the newly launched travel companion from \"03Camper,\" the 'Caddy California Camper Van.' Upgrade to a camper van at car rental prices, saving on hotel accommodation costs while gaining a closer experience with nature. It's perfect for a self-driving couple's getaway during the spring and autumn cherry blossom or maple leaf seasons, allowing you to leisurely immerse yourself in the pink floral seas or vibrant red forests, enjoying a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Volkswagen produces a series of vehicles named California, which combine reliable and practical German engineering with the sunny California vibe. After driving the 'California Beach Camper Van<\/a><\/strong>' from Volkswagen late last year and being extremely satisfied and impressed, we had no hesitation in choosing \"03Camper\" again for this year's cherry blossom viewing trip to Wuling Farm.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

Renting a camper van is different from renting a regular sedan or SUV, as it comes with many special features. The staff at \"03Camper\" were very attentive, carefully explaining each function and verifying the accessory list with us. They also guided us through a practical demonstration to ensure we had no issues using the equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

This time, we chose the latest \"Caddy California Camper Van,\" developed based on the Caddy Maxi as the \"smallest California\" (dimensions: length 4853mm, width 1855mm, height 2042mm). It's easier to drive and park, making it easy to handle whether navigating city streets or narrow, winding mountain roads.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Driving Equipment and Seating Space<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

The \"Caddy California Camper Van\" is equipped with a Level 2 driver assistance system, making highway travel much easier. The central screen supports Apple CarPlay, and it also features an electronic rearview mirror, so even if the trunk is packed with camping gear, you don't have to worry about obstructed views. The rental company thoughtfully includes a phone mount, which is really considerate!<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

The front half of the cabin space and seat configuration is similar to a regular SUV, and the high roof provides a spacious feel without any sense of confinement.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Mini Kitchen in the Trunk for Convenient and Easy Cooking<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

The rear trunk is the highlight of the \"Caddy California Camper Van,\" where many camping features are located. Let's introduce them one by one.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

The van comes equipped with two camping chairs and one camping table, so there's no need to bring your own folding table and chairs for a two-person trip, saving you a lot of hassle. (A fire extinguisher is also included in the lower right corner.)<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

The upper section of the side cabinet conceals a gas stove, allowing you to easily cook meals or boil water without needing to set up on the ground, which is very convenient. Since it's used outside the vehicle, you don't have to worry about filling the interior with cooking odors.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

The lower section serves as storage space, where you can keep utensils or frequently used items.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

The \"Caddy California\" also comes with a side awning, allowing you to set everything up in less than ten minutes upon arriving at the campsite (unlike the neighboring campers who need two to three hours to pitch a tent). You can easily enjoy an afternoon tea amidst the gentle breeze and the sounds of nature, experiencing the pure and wonderful aspects of camping.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

Practical Storage Space<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

The \"Caddy California Camper Van\" features multiple storage spaces, including above the driver's seat, under the seats, in the side door panels, and in the trunk. These clever storage designs make it easy to store miscellaneous items and equipment, keeping the interior tidy and organized.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

Especially noteworthy are the storage hanging bags on each side of the trunk window, which double as privacy and sunshade curtains for the rear windows. They can hold lighter items such as clothing, sleeping bags, and pillows.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Pocket Spring Bed Frame and Insect-Proof Ventilation Window<\/strong><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

The Volkswagen \"Caddy Camper Van\" features a foldable bed (1980mm x 1070mm) that can accommodate two adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>
