Snap .... Me too! .... 2013 Discovery 4 XS, plus a 67 Ocean picked up last Friday. Having covered almost 100k from new in the Discovery, the air suspension is in a different league although the Cali is not that far behind it.

I have about 95k on my Discovery 3 2006, had it about 7 years done 70k miles in it. Still going well FSH.
My Cali is a 2013 DSG 4 motion. 26k on the clock, very nice indeed, I have a thule tilt bike rack but the door wont open with it :-( , looking at buying the VW genuine rack.....First camper I have had but wanted one for years (chill and grill next week)

Me too, wanted one for ages.

I camp at Le Mans for the 24h WEC every year and with all the kit needed, the Land Rover was pretty much full for a 5 day visit. That included tent, gazebo, air beds, double sleeping bag, electric cool boxes, power pack for charging the phones, heater, 2x stoves etc.

With the VW i think it is going to be much easier. All of the above is integrated within the vehicle (apart from the sleeping bag!), and there is a mass of space to store anything else needed.

Just need to plan in some trips now.

Let us know how you get on.
