Hi, first post on the forum so please be gentle and apologies if this has already been posted somewhere! (although can't find it)
We're looking to buy a california, already rented one for a short break and loved it. But we also need something usable mon-fri for school runs etc. I also currently have a caddy which will have to go but will miss just how damn useful having a van is, for bikes, dogs and trips to ikea!
So looking at the beach. Is my understanding correct that the basic difference is the kitchen unit and storage, and electric hook up? When we camp, it's usually short overnighters and we're more of a pub grub family so probably wouldn't use the kitchen much. If we were going anywhere remote I'd pack a camping stove but seems pointless dragging one round all the time. Having seating for 7 occasionally would be a benefit, along with turning it into a van if needed.
Can spec beaches with a cool box and park heaters, so I'm struggling to understand what I'm missing as the price difference is huge, and the beach probably fits our family needs better. Been to the local van sales but left none the wiser as we both just sat going through the brochure.
Any help or experiences of both would be really helpful!
Thank you.
