California Dreamin'

[Rob_Crowe]

Hello all,
Life is so much easier since the internet came along! This forum has been incredibly useful to us as we have pondered on decisions about buying a Cali.
Having read and absorbed a lot of information, its time to join the community.

We have just bought a second hand 2015 T5 Cali SE. 40k on the clock but its in good enough condition to serve us well, hopefully for many years.
"Steven" aka SteVAN (my 5 year old sons attempt at humour although we like it enough to stick with it) is currently undergoing a service etc at our local dealer. Deposit is paid and we look forward to picking the Cali up in a couple of weeks! very excited. I'm 44 going on 14 again.

We are looking forward to many day trips & long weekends in the UK along with a couple of trips overseas a year (most likely France) as we try to ensure our son spends sufficient time outdoors and away from the iPad!

We are on a steep learning curve to figure everything out, but I for one am looking forward to it.

This will be our first campervan as a family...... time will soon tell if its the best thing we ever did, or whether it's a fast track to divorce !!

Best regards,
Rob

Welcome.

I bought mine without the knowledge of this forum. Been here just recently for a non-Californian issue, and been browsing the forum since then.
All of my experiences I have found out myself, trying to help others out with their questions.

First thing: just take off on holidays. Learn how everything works. If you don't find it: RTFM = read the manual. If this brings no solution: look or ask here. We will help you sort things out.
