Default Volkswagen Camper travel anyone?

My wife and I just got back from a 2-week trip to California and we scored the most amazing surf adventure. Instead of taking the normal route, renting a car and moteling along the route, we opted for the rental of a VW camper bus. What a cool way to go!

We found this little company that rents restored Westphalia campers and sets ‘em up for surf travel, equipped so well that we only needed to add food and our personal gear. They even gave us a bundle of firewood!

The state campgrounds in California are pretty evenly spaced up and down the coast, and most are very well equipped so we always had fresh water, toilet facilities and even many have hot showers. Oh yeah, and most of 'em are WIFI!

We owned a VW camper bus back on the 80’s when we surfed all over the place and saw the sights through the big bus windows. A real retro-trip doing it again, and we didn’t have to worry about keeping the thing maintained ourselves.

We made so many new friends, who attracted to the camper’s great condition, shared about surfing trips in their own VW’s. We scored great waves and met some of the nicest people!

We totally recommend giving this a try if you are going out to surf the West Coast.
They are: Vintage Surfari Wagons in Mission Viejo, Ca. Really nice, helpful people. www.vwsurfari.com
Just wanted to share our neat discovery.

That sounds awesome! I've always kinda wanted to take a VW bus or a smaller Winnebago or something and cross the country and back, but I would be worried about all the hassles involved with maintenance. Down the CA coast sounds manageable though. It's always cool to hear people enjoying my home state!

California's a great state to RV around, especially on the coast (all of 'em, northern, central, southern). Going up and down the center of the state can be pretty boring I'd imagine, but then there are plenty more cool things to check out going up and down the side that borders AZ and NV (Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Lake Tahoe, etc).
