Ive just bought a westfalia california, which is cracking (i think) Ive got all the handbooks but of course they are in german. Its a while since i did o level and i wasn't that good then. I've managed to get the hob and the fridge going (the fridges instructions are in english though) but beyond that i'm struggling, i'm embarrased to say even with simple stuff like the captains seats. can any one help me? If any one is near the peak district and could spare a bit of time to talk me through some stuff, that would be great. Alternatively are there any translations of the handbooks out there?

Hiya matey,
I'm in Nottingham if that helps?
But....here's some common ones.
Captains seats....drivers only turns part way (back against the door) push wire loop down and hold whist rotating seat (wire loop front centre of seat)
Passengers fully rotates (same release mechanism)
Lots of other stuff....pre-heat on LPG, LPG filling, LPG level indicator, water level indicators, ebberspacher heater control and LED panel, built in battery charger, Leisure battery position, fluid top up points, pop top operation, rocknroll bed operation, fridge on 3 way power.....etc etc
PM if you want to talk things through.

Hi there - I've got a Westfalia California too, mine's a high top. got electronic copies of a couple of things in English, one from the man I bought it from and one from the internet (may have been Brickyard, can't remember now). the manual is for a Joker, but most of the stuff is the same in mine - certainly for the info on how to fill/empty water tank, use fridge etc.

PM me if you'd like me to email them to you.

good choice of van by the way
