Hi,
My name is Karsten and I'm living in Denmark. My wife and I are waiting to get our new California Ocean 150DSG on March 15.th.

It will be our first Cali - but some years ago we owned a Mercedes Viano Marco Polo. We loved this type of car, but the 2004 Mercedes had bad quality - rust after 4-5 years being the worst problem. We sold it and settled for normal cars for some years but we allways wanted to have a car/camper of this type again.

We are looking forward to many day tours, vacations and more.

Don’t forget to post pictures of your new California. I’m sure you will have many great adventures.
 
Welcome allong !
 
Welcome to the forum! Denmark is a wonderful country, look forward to hearing more from you in the forum :) Happy travels!
 
I too had a Marco Polo, also 2004 and with rust problems. I also found it noisy on long journeys, I now have a T5 California which I have been very pleased with so I have ordered a new T6 Ocean which is coming at the end of this month. I also find the VW community much more helpful and I hope you will too.

:welcome Hope you enjoy your Cali as much as we do. And do post some pictures!
 
Thank you all :D

I'll post pictures (well - I'm a part time photographer - I probably won't be able to resist it anyway ;-) ) as soon as we have our Cali :)

The Mercedes 4-cyl diesels aren't very smooth and despite massive noise insulation, the Marco Polo was quite noisy. We changed the tyres to reduce road noise, and it made quite a difference. I hope the California's more quiet (it comes with noise reducing windows).

I am sure you will find it is altogether more civilised. I too swapped tyres on my Marco Polo and it did improve things a little.
