There’s a nice (well I think so) Ocean on eBay with some mods that makes it stand out, although, I’m not keen on the snorkel!

I’m not a fan of the snorkel on the Cali either. Also odd to have a Swamper build on lowered rather than raised suspension
 
If I were to pop my California onto Autotrader, how would you market yours if you had a few extras installed.
Would you remove all the extras and sell, as was, from the factory, or leave the extras on?
I’m sure you’ll be able to use the Solar on your new Sven so keep that. The Lazers (what a brilliant bit of kit) will probably cost as much to remove and make good vs what you’ll get for them second hand, so I’d leave them on as an extra that will help it stand out vs other vans? You’ll likely be able to sell the pull out drawer on here easily enough.
 
Good to see you using the correct name :D
Got to try and keep 2nd hand prices high, Oh but there's a glut at present and apparently Campervan dealers aren't prepared to buy in as they're overstocked and its the start of the holiday season.
Be careful what you wish for!
 
Or fit VB air, Audi RS seats and keep it!
With the RS seats, the alcantera / leather in black look a winner, and it’s doable after seeing @Corradobrit youtube video.
But I’m wondering how is it going to feel like in the seat positioning as they are for a sports car, not a van type driving position.

A temporary glitch. Victory favours the patient. Lets wait until everyone sees past the marketing flannel.

Reach out to the people who have made the switch and ask their opinion. My main concern is height adjustment. I believe that is still the one adjustment you would have no control over. Ask the owners to give you a seat pad height measurment

If you sell with the xtras, you might not get more money but it would make it more saleable.

Just bought a height adjustable frame.
Going to strip seat and remove swivel and instal height adjuster. Wish me luck !
 
Do you read my mind? Exactly this for the last 3 hour drive !! WTH.
I'm debating, do I go specialist convertor and give them these specs.
MAN TGE 3.180 with 4Motion, the guys at MAN Trucks Cordwallis, Reading told me there is a MAN TGE 3.190 4Motion on the way.

I dropped in Cordwallis Trucks to measure a MAN / Crafter seat, to see if I can swap out Cali Ocean seat, they are saying around 3K to buy in the bits for one seat. that's without 4way lumbar. They will not directly bolt on, would have to get plate fabricated.
Just get the Grand Canyon S Crossover or the Frankia Yucon K-Peak

Won’t work, different ergonomics. Most probably be less comfortable than the seat it’s replacing. Obviously anyone one who has swapped will tell you that they are super comfy as they will never admit that they made an error after spending £.
