Club joker and Sven owners

[The Blue Merle]

I’ve left the fold at the moment but would love to see your joker and Sven setups.

My old jokers, do miss the silver one and will be seeing it again soon (new happy owner popping by).

I think it's time this thread got a nudge. Come on Sven and Club Joker owners, post your pride and joy here.

Always thought these made a lot of sense.

Went to see Sven at Campersales today.
Did not disappoint.
The Man / Crafter seat adjustment was out of this world.
Height, & seat base tip, up and down.
4 way lumbar. In and out, up and down.
Found a very very comfortable place.
Both feet have foot rests.
So much room for activities inside.
Seems like a dream.
Can stand full height in shower. (I’m 6’)
The bed is 1998mm long.
And actual toilet I don’t need to decant from the boot.

Only niggle is do I wait for the MY25 with Merc like gear shifter on steering column. ??

I literally came in here to see if there were any updates to anybody doing solar upgrades, rear wheel carriers and ladders.
How to stick some metal clamping bars on the roof, so I can start deigning my own solar layout !
And there is like 1 post

No, because you’ll ended up with the dreaded Volkswagen infotainment system….

Yes, so many more Sven and CJ owners now since the thread started, it would be good to get lots of owners pics and tips.

@soulstyledevon are you starting a Hymer thread in the "Sold up but still a Cali lover" section??

 

[Californication69]

I’m thinking the MAN TGE is built in Poland.
But where is the Westfalia stuff made and then built into the truck ?

@soulstyledevon are you starting a Hymer thread in the "Sold up but still a Cali lover" section??

Needs to be done.
The FB groups are a PIA to search through.

Oh yeah, that big finger print loving screen.
True.

I think one of the mods did do something along those lines.
Might be worth a search.
The facebook group is made up of many ex-Californians…

Could be hitting £100k if you wait for new model, westfalia will definitely jump the price no doubt!

Agree. I can’t see why I wouldn’t do it for another £189 a month if my sums add up and I sell mine for the right amount.

 

[soulstyledevon]

Only used one for sale on Autotrader.

They have been try to sell that for 6mths now was on for £80k to start with.

The possible saving on older model pays for solar and alloys and any other goodies.

 

[Californication69]

Figured out (googled) how to find out how long cars have been for sale for on Autotrader. Very cool isn’t it.

So what’s wrong with it…?
Seems a decent price

That’s a lot of 5 star holidays in amazing locations are you sure lol

I'm collecting my Sven in 3 weeks time, I'll certainly be posting on this thread, thanks so much for highlighting it!

As I've said before, if you're wanting a sub £100k 2 berth upgrade for your Cali, it is without peer.

@Californication69 did they give you an idea of price/delivery times. Wandahome have one Sven in the black left for sale (the other 2 are sold) in has taken just over 2 months from order to delivery and they chucked in Alarm & Tracker FOC?

Maybe because of the colour???

Starlight blue, one of my favourites

The blackberry T5 has finally sold.

Yes, I liked it too. I ordered my Ocean in Starlight blue, but it was really hard to make the paintwork look good as it showed lots of water marks. After I had done the failed bellows testing with the hosepipe it looked dreadful and even after a thorough wash I struggled to get rid of the watermarks.
So it’s kind of put me off the colour unfortunately

If I do get a Joker at some point (and I do really like them) I think I’d try and get a silver one.
