Hi All,
Trying to educate myself on the miriad of options you can pick through on the Cali. A lot of them are fairly self explainitory which is good but others not so. Apologies if this has been asked in a different thread but I was hoping if you could share some insight into what some of these options below entail and whether you think it is worth adding on.
1. Seating - "1 swivel seat w/longitudinal adjustment on rail system" - is this an additional seat on the second row? If so where is this placed? At present we don't need more than two rear seats, but perhaps in the future we may. Which is leading me to consider the second of the two seating options "without seats, with additional seat rail." Depends on whether my understanding of this option is correct of course.
2. Audio and Communications - "navigation System 'Discover Media Pro' including 'Streaming internet." - I was considering getting this, purely from a re-sale (wash your mouth I know!) perspective. We've got this on our e-golf and it loos snazzy with the dial-less buttons. But interested to know what people's thoughts are.
3. Comfort and convenience - "Storage net in roof bed access opening, 2nd drawer in bench seat instead of load-through hatch" - I'm guessing its a net that goes across/above the top bunk. I've seen on other posts on this forum that this definitely is not a child safety net, which really is what I'm after. Also, i'm not so clear what the 2nd drawer is. Any clarity/photos would be appreciated.
4. Windows - "Heated front windscreen" - again have this on my e-golf. Got this primarily because it is way more efficient on the battery and silent rather than having the blowers on. Wondering if it has as much of a benefit on the cali given the diesel engine. Experiences?
5. Battery/alternator capacity - "Uprated starter battery (92Ah,AGM)" - One or two nights off grid is probably the most we'd do, so I don't really see the value of this option. Thoughts experiences?
6. Luggage compartment cover - "Bed extension with comfort sleeping mat" - the comfort sleeping mat is pretty self explainitory but what is the bed extension? Is that a larger bed?
7. Built-in cupboard - "Cubpoards in 'graphite grey' with outdoor shower connection" - Thought this was pretty handy but with the hefty £348 price tank, I thought I could buy a mobile hand pump one. Quite like the idea of it being neatly tucked away though. Does it compromise on storage space with the built in pump/tank, or does it utilise the same tank and pump as the sink, so just additional piping?
Appart from these, I quite liked the wood flooring option and the 80L fuel tank which i thought was a no brainer for the price.
Thanks for all your help in my quest for knowledge before committing to my cali!
