VW Caddy Camper | History & Caddy Beach Campervan 2020

#VWCaddyCamper fans have a brand new model to lust after. Volkswagen have released just a few artists impressions of the new compact #caddycampervan. So in this video, we reveal what we know about the 5th generation of Caddy and its Caddy Beach model - before either are on sale to the public. There's much more info on the whole California family in the book of the channel - "VW Campers for Beginners" (see link below). But this video focuses on the new arrival and looks back at Caddy camper history. The #vwcaddy had its origins over 40 years ago in the mark1 Golf-based "Rabbit" Pickup in the USA - then developed through four generations, giving fans of minicampervans the opportunity to convert their own campers, or buy one of Volkswagen's factory built Caddy campers which first appeared as the Caddy Tramper! Thanks to Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles for photos and videos from the Caddy archive that feature in this video.
