I've Got It.......

[WelshGas]

Picked it up this morning, having ordered it in May, for garenteed delivery on the 1st December. I retired yesterday.
Early morning rail trip to Hereford, South Hereford VW, and there it was, waiting for me.
Natural Grey metallic California SE. 180 BiTurbo, 4 Motion, Bluemotion, DSG. RNS510, Media In, Mud Flaps, Stainless Steel Sidebars, Safe.
Have already fitted full mid-grey carpet set, SafeT lock for spare wheel and Dubreflecta wind deflectors as well as Gaz cylinder and Bellows bungee.
MotorHome WiFi , CO alarm and various bits and pieces to be fitted.
Off to IKEA tomorrow for some storage boxes etc.

Had a 2.5 HR handover, and ALL my questions answered.

A couple of interesting extras, 12v socket torch and Bluetooth included even though not specced and not paid for. Well Pleased.

Couple of interesting things. 2nd battery and Charger now under wardrobe section accessible via inspection panel from boot.8 pegs for awning poles!,
Tomorrow down to local beach for a cup of freshly brewed tea. I know, ridiculous, but have to check everything out as will be staying in it over Christmas on my Daughter's small holding in Norfolk.

What a great retirement pressie! Sounds gorgeous, enjoy. :clap

 

[KernowLad]

Awesome - another pic request!!

 

[Gasgas]

We purchased our containers from Staples + £10 each ,they fit in the back side by side and if you carefully remove the parcel shelf you could fit 4 of them as they are designed to stack on top of each other as well

That's brilliant

Wish you all the very best with your new Cali and all the adventures it will offer you and your family.

 

[WelshGas]

Congratulations! We bought ours as a retirement (mine early) present in 2010. It was a BIG spend for us .... but we have no regrets! The van and not working just go so well together [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

First trip out to Ogmore Beach for a walk and nice cuppa.
Tested the roof, gas hob and Parking heater. All working fine.

 

[calidub]

That looks great. Does the bungee work :?:

 

[WelshGas]

Yes. It was quite blustery. I stopped frequently but it was ALL gathered in as it should despite the wind. Recommend it * * * * *

 

[calidub]

Thanks for the info. Enjoy your new cali

 

[sbmcd]

[Blakey]

[WelshGas]

Is that a first aid kit you've got on the side of the rear seat?
