What makes VANZEIT ® products so special?

We think differently.

Just one click away, you'll find the same old offerings, often with little practical function and even less understanding from the sellers.

Why? They are neither campers nor manufacturers. The copy is cheap, and you'll end up buying it twice...

You've arrived at the source.

1. New Product Ideas

A missing coat hook in our first California led to my invention of the well-known hooks for the pop-up roof, our ABHÄNG.

Why drill into the Bus? Our EINFACH was born out of my lack of understanding for this and the limited headroom under the overhead lockers on the market.

Every idea matures between our own ears, from actual need and missing solutions.

2. Thoughtful Product Design

First sketches lead to prototypes made of paper and cardboard.

When I am convinced, I design based on the already concrete measurements in CAD.

Using 3D printing, the sewing machine, or our workshop, the design is then being build and tested.

In the final touch, I streamline the design by eliminating unnecessary parts.

3. Tested in everyday camping

Nicole and I take new accessories directly on tour with our bumblebee (aka T6 California Beach).

If a contour is not perfect, or a functionality is not being used at all during camping?

Then it is adjusted and tested again. And if necessary, again...

Only what convinces us during in a season and proves its value is getting produced.

4. Locally manufactured in Northern Germany

We have found our production partners within a few kilometers.

This guarantees short distances and quick, personal agreements with a handshake.

Small series production ensures quick adjustments, even with your suggestions.

5. Certainly More Freedom

Focusing on the essentials gives you more space.

Less ballast means less fuel consumption. You go further.

Simple designs integrate timelessly into your individual setup.

Organization with a system relaxes. Stuffing was yesterday, today you can safely stow your equipment - and find it again tomorrow.

Have a great vacation and a wonderful VANZEIT ®!

Organise your California pop-up roof with our storage net for your camping utensils.

Where to put it in the pop-up roof?

Where do you put the book you want to read before you go to sleep?
Where are your wallet and keys safe at night?
The mobile phone / tablet / Kindle ... slips off the narrow shelf in the pop-up roof.
Where won't it fall off?

The storage space in the pop-up roof is limited in the VW California.
Rigid supports obstruct the already narrow descent and ascent or make for artistic interludes at night. The partner is thrilled ...
At the latest with an insulating inner tent, it becomes difficult to close the roof with such supports.

The solution: put it in the storage net.

The PLATZDA storage net creates ~100 x 40 cm of storage space under the roof lining in the pop-up roof of the VW California Beach, Ocean, Coast and Comfortline.
Camping utensils, smartphone, torch, e-reader, ... you can now organise them safely in the storage net and have them within easy reach at all times.

The utensil net for your campervan is installed in no time at all.
Simply use the existing lashing points in the pop-up roof of the T5, T6 and T6.1 California.
No additional drilling, gluing, screwing or similar is necessary - absolutely suitable for leasing!

The material of the storage net has a high abrasion resistance and does not deform even after prolonged use.
Within the wide border, the net keeps deposited objects safe and on top, so the entry height is hardly reduced and nobody bumps their head.
The stowage net has a sturdy mesh fabric that won't bend, even with your open bunch of keys on top.

Sophisticated details for the VW California pop-up roof

We searched for a long time. We didn't want any more enclosed flyscreens, nor did we want a black and incongruous stain in the light-coloured roof lining and to be able to use the lighting at night without it being dimmed when reading.

The search was worthwhile! We found a friendly, bright and well-fitting mesh fabric with a mesh size that also leaves the LED lighting usable.
Instead of a non-changeable rubber band, which made the edge unsightly, the edges of the storage net are now straight and tightly edged all around. The storage net is now attached directly to the pop-up roof with four individual HQ rubber ropes. This means less material is wasted and the rubbers can be replaced, e.g. with ones in a different colour.

Made by campers for campers, this has of course also been thought of:

Super-flat and located inside the bedding, the pop-up roof from the California also closes with the storage net fitted as before, even with an extra insulating inner tent, e.g. for autumn and winter camping.

The scope of delivery includes a storage net and the fastenings for the lashing eyes in the pop-up roof.

The picture gallery shows the utensil net in use on the headliner of the pop-up roof in the VW California.
