Oh....The dealer didn't know where the torch option is? It's not the same as the T5. He gave me a T5 torch, but don't know where to plug it in. Any ideas?

Torch or Flashlight. I have the cig lighter torch, but surely that's not the one you pay big bucks for?

In my Beach, the bigger torch (approx £50) is in a holder in the rear base of the drivers seat.

There is no holder in the base of driver seat on the T6 Ocean?

Perhaps reconsider the spare wheel. We hit a rock that had just come down the bankside in Spain a couple of years ago and it tore the sidewall of the tyre. Goo and compressed air can would have been no use in that situation.
Can you get a spare with 18" wheels?? Depends on the tyre profile I guess whether or not it will fit.

You don't get a spare with the 18" wheel option.
Only way would be to purchase a 17" steel or alloy wheel either later or from the Dealer (expensive).
No room for an 18" on the spare carrier due to the tyre/wheel width, the diameter is the same as 17".

Update on that. you can get an 18" 7J steel with a 235-50 tyre which has the correct overall diameter as the 255 tyre and the !7" 235-55. I think they were originally on the Amorak Pickup.

I'll have to check when home too! Never noticed any storage in the base on my T6 Beach drivers seat!

Definitely not got that. Recognise it in my Skoda though!

Not really storage, better described as a void or cavity.

Nothing there on my T6 Ocean, Even though I paid for the option. I just got a cigarette lighter torch - hardly worth the option price....and I suspect the cigarette lighter torch is standard. Oh well, I'll do without

Very nice
