I find local camper conversion costs very expensive.
If you compare similar work done for your home (bricks & mortar) - campers are certainly sold at a premium. I know I could get a quality kitchen fit out with european appliances for under 20K. Granted the pop top and the auxilliary battery supply are "unique" to the sector but how on earth do we end up over 100K?
I also don't understand the premium we pay for conversions compared to the UK firms.
Check out some of their sites, the materials used and the finished prices. Price is not lower due to volume as most are smaller than Trakka and the like.
I agree with concerns re VW support with a California. I have had enough issues with my Kombi Beach. I shudder to think of the issues one could have with a more complex vehicle.
The Cali does make for a nice brochure though
