Just had a test drive

[Gelato]

Just had a dealer bring a VW California Ocean to our house for a test drive and to see how many of our toys would fit in the back, very impressed. Just joined this forum hope to post some questions as seriously thinking of buying our first California (motorhome) to tow our Eriba

Great thanks for the welcome, just the person to ask actually if you have to be careful with bikes on the rack and turning when towing a caravan (clearance at the back) our Eriba Touring is shaped differently at the front so more curved? Sales person just warned us might have problems with a caravan hooked up and clearance/damage the caravan with a really sharp turn!

Nope.... no issues using the standard VW tailgate mounted bike rack although to be fair the A frame on the Hymer Nova vans is very long.
