At just under six metres long, the “600” is the shorter and more versatile version of the Grand California range, making it easier to manoeuvre than larger coachbuilt motorhomes while still offering a full kitchen, washroom and fixed rear bed.
Exterior & Design
The Grand California 600 has a clean, modern design with Volkswagen’s signature styling throughout. The high roof gives excellent standing room inside while maintaining a streamlined silhouette. Large side windows and skylights create a bright, airy feel, and the integrated awning and camping furniture setup make it ideal for outdoor living.
Key exterior dimensions include:
Length: 5.986m
Width: 2.040m
Height: 2.971m
Wheelbase: 3.640m
Despite its size, the van remains surprisingly manageable on UK roads and ferries well for European touring.

Sink
Fridge
Pull-out worktop extensions
