The New VW California Sunrise Suite FAQs
What is the new VW California so good?
A true camping icon, the VW California has been updated to deliver even more comfort and functionality on the road without losing its much-loved character.
With an innovative three-room concept, the Sunrise Suite makes the most of every inch of space. A spacious living area, open kitchen and cosy sleep space ensure you have everything you need to relax on your travels. But it doesn’t stop there – you can also customise the space to suit your unique needs, as the seats in the passenger compartment can be moved individually or removed completely.
The addition of a second sliding door creates a more open living space, enabling you to bring the outdoors. But it also enhances everyday practicality, making loading and unloading a breeze.
It’s not just the interior space that’s benefited from an update, as the new VW California is now packed with the latest tech. You can control all important camping functions via three different control points: the latest generation infotainment system with integrated ChatGPT, the camper control unit on the C-pillar or via a mobile device using the “California on Tour” app.
All of this means that hiring the new VW California is a must if you want to experience the very best VW camping experience.
Who is the new VW California suitable for?
Whether you’re a VW campervan fan or new to camping, the new VW California will not disappoint.
Sleeping up to four, it is ideal for friends and family getaways, but it’s also great for couples or solo travellers who want to experience the comfort and luxury of this iconic model.
Its compact dimensions ensure it is perfect for city adventures as the Sunrise Suite easily fits into multi-storey car parks and tight car parking spaces and is incredibly manoeuvrable. Yet inside the well-thought-out space and two sliding doors ensure it still offers plenty of space and comfort on your travels.
The new VW California is also perfect for tech lovers, as it comes with the latest innovations, including ChatGPT, to make your whole journey run more smoothly.
How much does it cost to hire a Sunrise Suite?
You can hire the Sunrise Suite from roadsurfer for as little as £89 per night. The exact price you pay per night will vary depending on when you plan to travel, the booking duration and any additional extras you opt for.

What is the difference between the new California Ocean and Coast?
The new VW California Ocean and the California Coast are almost identical, but there are a couple of small differences.
The California Ocean has an automatic pop-up roof and additional roof storage box, while the new California Coast has a manual pop-up roof and doesn’t come with the additional roof storage box.
The model you get depends on your pick-up location, but we will inform you which model you will get on booking. The good news is that no matter which model you get when you hire the Sunrise Suite, you are sure to have an epic road trip.
