Finally got one!

After many years of talking about it we have finally taken the plunge and got ourselves a California. Maiden voyage last weekend and we loved it! Already planning many more trips...

Great news. You won't regret it. We use ours all the time. Long and short breaks it brilliant and has meant we have seen more of our isles than before Cali.

Keep posting your trips and tell us all about your experiences! (Good and bad!)

Welcome! We've done 3.5K miles in our first 10 weeks of ownership. It's a new way of traveling. Check the weather and amend plans accordingly. We were heading north for a week but switched plans and just bagged a £120 return ferry to France. Bought roof bars and a tandem kayak and a bike rack. Now we're canoeing the Dordogne river in sections and cycling back the the van! No idea where we will stay. Not a problem any more! Enjoy!

First trip was to Pembrokeshire and the Gower which was stunning.

Quick question... does anyone use one of the drive away awnings? We're thinking of getting one but some are fairly pricey. Are there any you would recommend?

Thanks

I only use my "factory fitted awning". However have a look at this thread: https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/alternative-to-vw-wind-out-awning.15834/
