roadsurfer, founded in Munich in 2016, offers fully equipped Volkswagen California campers for autonomous travel. A ten-day test evaluated the power, water, and cooking systems.

Key findings

  • Energy management requires monitoring the battery and optimizing consumption.
  • Water is used sparingly, with an external shower and spare canisters.
  • Meals are based on simple dishes and local products.

Overnight options include campsites, designated areas, and isolated parking spots, provided rules are followed. A key aspect is the freedom to choose overnight spots and change routes without prior booking.
