California Remote Control

Available for the new California – California Remote Control

The “Prepared for California Remote Control” allows you to connect your new California to the California on Tour app and turn your camper into a smart home on four wheels. For example, the app allows you to access many camper-specific settings outside the vehicle and to keep an eye on the vehicle status for the trip. You also have the option of operating the pop-up roof using the app, for example, so that you can keep an eye on the opening or closing process more effectively outside the vehicle.
