Hello from Expectant Beach family

[KatyCherry]

hello to everyone on here from a very excited cali beach family

So have been into v dubs since I can remember and had loads of bugs/campers in the past and been to tons of shows but now found with 3 kids we have fast grown out of being able to actualy sleep in a camper so two weeks ago decided to go look at swapping my passat for a T5/6 combi or minibus which we could cram all our camping gear in and also use as a daily driver with the intention of converting to a camper at a later date.and also be able to cram fishing /sailing/windsurfing/kayaking gear etc into.
Came home having fell in love with the cherry red 7 seater Cali Beach in the showroom which fitted exactly all our requirements and should also just be able to all sleep in with heating so we can go away in spring/autumn or even winter if we want.
After looking through all the extras etc we found out that it was pretty much same as the cherry red cali beach in the showroom which we found was available for sale so put a deposit down on it two days later and are hoping to pick up Katycherry in the next few days and Hopefully be able to take her for a test camp to Van West at the weekend

As recent purchasers of a Cali with a family, I can guarantee you won't regret it!

Exciting times ahead. Great choice of colour!

Now with not a lot of detective work I'm guessing that would be the chery red sitting in SMG Tonbridge! I was in there at the weekend and took a peek. Looked lovely especially with the shiny comfort dash! Happy days...

I saw that beauty too - I'd popped in to check up on a couple of minor issues, (uprating gas struts and the lifting bench seat) and was told it had been sold. I did wonder who the lucky new owner might be...

Cheers guys , were getting realy excited now picking up Katy tomorow couldn't wait 2 weeks, dont know people can wait 6 months for a new build! And yes it's the cherry red in SMG. Always liked red t5/6 buses but was a bit unsure at first as blackberry was my first choice but is no longer available! Anyway prefer red now and glad with our choice. Hopefully will be at Brean sands at weekend if anyone is going.

Very nice looking van. I am so jealous. Our Beach is being built this week - I hope. Ordered from SMG Tonbridge in Dec. I am swapping my A6 for the Beach and plan to use the Beach as a daily driver too. Let's see who this is going work.
