VW displays new sun bathing concept van.

Toppers truck.We may be suffering one of the wettest summers in history, but that hasn't stopped VW from creating a one-off version of its Caddy commercial designed to bring sun bathers closer to the sun.

The Caddy Topos Sail design concept will go on display this weekend in Dusseldorf, Germany at the city's Caravan Salon, which is open to the public from 30 August to 7 September.

A new wooden 'sun deck' has been incorporated into the Caddy's roof to mimic the decking employed on expensive classic yachts. Aluminium roof rails complete the look, while the deck is accessed by an integrated ladder in the large rear door.


More wood is used to highlight the side of the Caddy and in the rear bumper.

Another feature of the VW stand in Dusseldorf is the 20th anniversary celebration of the California camper. Although camper versions of VW's Transporter model have been around since the '50s, the California was not actually introduced until 1988.

VW now makes the California model in-house and with more than 80,000 sold to date it is thought to be one of the most successful campers in the world.
