California Club Meet June Meet - Lower Lode Inn Tewksbury - NOW FULL

[samdb]

We have just got home and it only took us eight hours from Tewksbury to Canterbury!
We both had a great weekend and met a lot of lovely people. Thanks to all who organised this event. Superb.

Borris, I promised to update you on the DVD capability in the T6... I did post a PM but to the wrong Borris (Borisburgh!). Anyway, I had a look and it definitely doesn't have a DVD player. I also had another look at the current price list and it doesn't say anything about a DVD... We use an iPad in the back mounted on the headrest and you can get the same system for DVD - or even better built-in to the headrest!

Good to meet you.

Thanks Sam,
It isn't a major issue as we do have another device for viewing DVDs. We very rarely do this however IMO VW removing this facility seems to be a backward step. Thanks for taking the time to investgate. I had had a good look at it but thought that maybe I had possibly missed this function somewhere.
It was great to meet you and your family as well.
Nice van by the way.
Best wishes

Probably a function that was removed as more and more movies etc: are distributed over the air as downloads, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Sky app etc:. So WiFi and data more important.

Does the system play movie files from SD card?

BTW we met someone from Berkshire (don't want to be too specific for privacy of course) today who is getting new alloys (sorry never got your name) for his T6 and my husband would be interested in your old ones...if you read this please PM me.

Thanks

Mine is a vango kela 2 standard (last year). The 3 has an extra awning out the front. Looks good but has metal pole and takes up more room on a pitch (I enter via the side doors so wouldn't use it). So beware what you order...
If I have help getting mine into the rail (with or without drive away kit) I can have it all set up, and pegged down etc within an hour, including getting the topper on. Ditto for reversing the procedure. So with 2 people it could be a lot quicker.
I love it and haven't regretted it a single moment. If you have more questions just ask or send a PM.
Cheers

Hi Alison, I'm considering buying the Vango Kela III Low AirBeam Drive Away Awning - 2016. Good to hear that you like yours. I'm confused which drive away connection kit goes with it - see photo - any advice welcome. Also did you go for the kela carpet or inside hanging bedroom? Many thanks for any tips.
