Hello everyone

[Leffeblonde]

Hi everyone, just picked up our T5 Ocean from the lovely people at VWCampersales in Burgess Hill, Sussex. Jan 2015 registered with 6500 miles on the clock and appears to have never been used for camping; feels and smells like a new vehicle. They are selling like hot cakes down in Sussex; must be the weather. Thought about buying new (the price difference is disappointingly small) but saw this one and decided to beat the queues for a T6. Now busy setting it up so we can go on our first outing.

Wanted some seat covers but seems to be a world shortage, so we will have to be careful.

Thanks for all the hints, tips and advice gleaned from the forum so far.

Adrian.

Hi Adrian welcome along

You mean T6 Ocean? As a T5 it is called "Comfortline" - confused -

We never had the Comfortline in the UK.
If it's got the built in sink and cooker it will be an SE.

Welcome Adrian from another Sussex dweller, so we may see each other around. In the meantime, enjoy the forum, enjoy the Cali and welcome to the "silly-big-smile-on-face club

Ok, so its an SE... I only had the T6 brochure to go by, sorry for the confusion.

It's a California... that universal smile machine regardless of the derivative

 

[Leffeblonde]

Thanks for the welcome everyone. It can be a bit scary in 'ere...

Don't worry about it. Welcome to the world of VW brochure confusion!

Welcome mate, seemed simple enough for me as SE and Ocean are the same apart from the updates the T6 brought to the table. So don't worry, I got it.
I would recommend Inka Lifestyle covers.
Enjoy

Welcome from another T5 SE owner of one week

 

[Leffeblonde]

Thanks Geezso. I would love to have some Inka Lifestyle seat covers...

 

[hirsty]

Try eBay for Inka covers, I'm looking myself - they are often recommended though appear a bit 'baggy' to me.

 

[GrannyJen]

Congratulations, job done, bring on the summer.

That was last week ...

Check out Jackyards for seat covers, they are very stylish, pick your own colours and lettering, http://www.jackyards.com

Welcome fellow queue buster, I did the same last year, thought about obtaining some OCEAN stickers but that would put the cat among the pigeons.

 

[Geezso]

Inka lifestyle covers are neat. I have my damaged hands to prove it. The waterproof ones are baggy.
