Hello from Cumbria

Hi all, thought I'd share a couple of pics of my new van. I have always wanted a T4 California and managed to get this van a month ago. I'm in love

Beggar cleaning it lad! Get away and enjoy this amazing weather.
Got yourself a peach there. Nice to see so many T4s going strong and looking so good.

So today I went out for Sunday roast with good friends and as promised took a few photos of the westy on the way ️

Lovely. You need to get the body mounted anchors for the awning legs.
Makes life much easier.

I have some in a bag that came with the van but haven't looked at them yet. How have you fixed them to the van, not sure I'd want to drill into the van to fit them.
I'm jealous of the colour of your van, that's my favourite freestyle colour!

It’s a doddle. I posted a thread on awning mounting so there are pics on here.

There is an official Westy drawing detailing dimensions and location etc.

Front is a case of removal of the B pillar trim, rear is accessible from inside the jack storage compartment.

Love the Merc wheels. Do they need spacers?

 

[B6POB]

Ill have a look. Do you have the drawing? Yeah I like the wheels, I can get my hands through the spokes to clean the insides. They bolt right on, no spacers required. You need longer bolts but that's it.
I've always ran Merc wheels, run them on my old T4 too only in staggered form.

WOW, amazing looking machine!!!!!! Cannot belive this is a 2003! Beauty!!

 

[sidepod]

Not sure they would fit my 150 due to the big (VR6) discs/calipers.

Is there a load rating stamped on the inner face of the spokes?

 

[sidepod]

Drawing.

The front mount needs to be positioned so you can get the door open with the awning fully open and the keg in place.

I can give you dimensions.

Nice looking van, you couldn't have shown it off better using Maryport Harbour as your background
