For those interested re our switch-up in size.
Our first proper trip in the GC600 is coming up after living with a T6 for 4 years. We've done one local 'trial night' just to make sure we have the bare essentials and understand the 'workflow' of the van, which was a mix of excitement and upset with the kids for the routine change, didn't like the height of their bunk bed etc (5 & 3, so understandable). But ironically had the best nights sleep ever; even at home!
On the flipside, i've now done three weeks of living with it as my daily (school run + commute to office/station etc. No regrets yet, but certainly does have it's compromises as expected. A range of places (inc the station and local park) dont allow motorhomes, so had to sweet talk my way around that and get an exception. But the seating position, drive, and overall comfort is lovely.
But there is a certain degree of luxury versus the Ocean for our wider uses. With standing height, a toilet, and a seating area with more usable 'desk space', it's an absolute god-send both for working remotely (and escaping my home office), as well as days out with the kids.
I do miss the Ocean's convenience of drive (size, performance, etc) and build quality (a few bits on the GC which aren't at the same level of quality), but so far, i'm still happy with the switch.
