Hello, new owners here...

[Stewart1150]

Well after nearly three years of thinking about it, yes we will - no we won't, we finally made the decision (yes we will) and we now have our Cali - just over five weeks and absolutely delighted. Having made the decision, things moved very quickly, able to select a van with spec very close to what we wanted that was already on dealer order, we beat the November price rise and with delivery before Christmas (and before the stop to registering diesel variants, hope that was a good thing and we don't live to regret it?). We have a history of camping, but two very wet summers drew that to a close some years back; we hired a 7.5 meter motorhome last summer, touring France, which cemented the decision to buy the Cali (we wanted greater flexibility than motorhome). Although we are relatively new to this club, contributors to the forum have been very helpful - thank you.

Welcome, have a wonderful time with your California.

We got ours only a few weeks back too - after at least two years of discussions, looking it up and calculating cost.

Always save journey.

Regards,
Eberhard

Many Thanks; yes we were lucky that the van was already on a dealer order, with a spec we were wanted, so it was quite a short wait - and not too long to contemplate the expenditure

But even so can feel your pain in the wait trust its not too much longer and best wishes for when it arrives

Thank you - have seen your YouTube video previously and thought the Col du Mont Cenis was fabulous

Nice videos! It looks like you have bikes that keep the Cali under 2m. Can you tell me which brand/type they are?

Would love to know what negatives you experienced with the motorhome while touring france that the cali wouldn't have please
