The VANZEIT ® Difference?
We think different.
Instead of average, with us, you get creative, practical, and durable setups from original ideas.
Our own camping experience is reflected in the attention to detail – and you’ll feel it in every use.
Trust in expertise for your relaxed VANZEIT ®!
🕐 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 your bus? From my incomprehension of this and the limited headroom under the market roof cabinets, our EINFACH was born.
Every idea matures between my own ears, from actual need and missing solutions.
🕑 Thoughtful Product Design
Initial sketches turn into prototypes made of cardboard.
Once I'm convinced, I construct it using CAD, based on the already specific dimensions.
The design is then implemented and tested with 3D printing, on the sewing machine, or in the workshop.
In the refinement process, I remove unnecessary parts from the design.
🕒Tested in Camping Life
Nicole and I take new accessories on tour directly with our bumblebee (aka T6 California Beach).
Is a contour not perfect, or is a feature not used while camping?
If so, it gets adjusted and tested again. And possibly again...
Only what convinces us over a season and proves its value gets produced.
🕓 Made in Northern Germany
We found our production partners within a few kilometers of us.
This guarantees short distances and quick, personal agreements by handshake.
Small series' production ensures fast adjustments, even with your suggestions.
🕔 Ensures 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.
The DIY shelf system DAGEHTNOCHWAS is simply attached above the bed surface in the pop-up roof of the VW California T5, T6, and T6.1 on the separately available VANRAIL base profile.
When the roof is closed, it can remain in place.
You can design it yourself as you like.
Choose the color of the bungee cords yourself, you can also use multiple colors for a rainbow effect.
Add a magnetic base in half or full length.
Build a second level underneath with our MUSTMIT or DARFRAUS or sew one yourself.
More is on the way ... 🚐💨
Secure storage space
While driving, the sturdy sides secure deposited items. Thanks to the front flap, everything remains accessible, even when the roof is closed.
As a roof box and storage space under the pop-up roof for a book, fruit, earrings, sunglasses ... there's still room for more!
With extra hanging options
For some, just a few mountain peaks, others associate them with the dunes from their last visit to the beach.
But they are simply practical:
There are 3 additional hooks on the front for hanging tea towels, oven mitts and the like.
You can position the hooks either on the left or right.
There is an additional hook on each side.
Made for California
The shelf that fits snugly against the VW California panel profile only protrudes 127 mm into the interior.
The remaining 58 mm extend into the window frame. The lighting remains unobstructed.
The timeless, curved aluminum front at the leading edge not only prevents injuries.
It also, together with the real wood front cover, matches the interior design of the California and Multivan.
Configure your Calishelf
There's still more.
At the bottom, the system base with three cross-strung rubber cords provides extra space for kitchen utensils, chalk bags (great for cutlery too!), and more.
At the front, bottom, left, and right, there is plenty of space on the rubber bands for your camping utensils.
On the side or below, the kitchen paper towel holder ROLLO complements it, next to it the kitchen utensil holder HARKAN works great, next door also another DAGEHTNOCHWAS ... (illustration still with the previous series)
Optionally magnetic.
The system base is made of birch plywood.
Optional floor plates in half the width of the shelf each expand the possibilities for e.g. the Silwy range or magnetic fastenings.
This allows you to easily and quickly add further hanging options for towels, pot holders, and more with the magnetic hooks ZIEHAN available as accessories.
Now it's getting colorful.
Bungee cords in various colors are available for the tie-downs.
For the rubber cords, we give you the choice of color in 50-centimeter pieces.
You'll get along well with a total of 1.5 meters / 3 pieces if you only want to tension the floor.
With 2 meters / 4 pieces, it's enough for an extra round, e.g. in the middle of the shelf, for separation, e.g. rear spices and front vegetables, and with 3 meters / 6 pieces, you'll be all-around happy and have room for a few extra loops.
Mounting in the VW California pop-up roof
You can attach your complete shelf to the VANRAIL base profile for the roof with two screws.
If you already have another mounting option, e.g. an airline rail, you can also attach the DIY shelf kit to it. In this case, the two attachment points may need to be slightly enlarged.
The additions shown in the gallery and items in the shelf - fruit, cups, glasses, kitchen paper ... - are not included in the scope of delivery. The shelf parts are delivered disassembled.
