Volkswagon California Ocean. Campervan Adventures in Scotland. Well after after a lot of deliberation we decided to sell our cars and purchase a brand new Camper Van. We have always been attracted to Campervan Life and finally decided to take the plunge into the world of spontaneous Campervan adventures. We chose the VW California Ocean 6.1 primarily because it is economical to run and small enough to park on our driveway. We both love to explore our home country of Scotland and intend to explore the Western Isles and the Scottish Highlands this year. The biggest benefit of now owning a Camper Van is that we can beat the bad weather and set off on a spontaneous adventures at short notice when the forecast is good. Watch this space for more Rooty & Stoozer’s Scotland Campervan Adventures.
