Adventures in our Cali Ocean GioVANni

[Tindaly]

Hi everyone had our Cali Ocean just over 3 weeks and just returned from an adventure over 18 nights in Outer Hebrides, Skye and Mull! Changed from a Beach which we loved but felt we needed onboard water heating (to keep us old folk warm) etc for our wild camping trips. The Ocean certainly made a difference and the bellows did not leak thank goodness unlike our previous Cali. Looking forward to reading lots of posts with tips and details of adventures from like minded folk.

Sounds like a great trip

Hot water on tap

Hi, A question for Ocean 6.1 owners... Has anyone installed a water heater in their Cali for washing up etc? The ones I have seen are for use outside presumably because of venting issues and I wondered if there is a unit you can install under the sink?

You can install a small system in one of the cupboards under the gas hob/sink.

Had one of these in an eriba, personally buy a nice large trangia Kettle and use it, The electric heater is a PIA, requires electric hook up, and is awkward to drain each winter and will split if left full in subzero temperatures

Kettle 245, 1.4 L in aluminum with lid. With wire handle and removable plastic cover, convenient when you want to use it over an open flame. Be cautious of plastic details such as the knob and the plastic cover for high heat and open flame. Our largest kettle at 1.4 L. This kettle does not […]
