Nearly a new owner

[Paddlelass]

Hi, so I have taken the plunge and bought my first camper. It should be ready for collection at the end of next week and I can't wait. Now busy googling accessories and so far have sorted out the music and a tin of beans and sausages. It's all about priorities !? But more seriously I did a whole load of research and looked at some shocking conversions which helped confirm that the Cali stood out as a class act. Based in Hove but looking forward to taking my paddleboard beyond the beaches of Sussex.

Brill congratulations
Beans and sausage music and beer
The rest isn’t that important

Thank you! And yes you're so right. I've bought a 2008 California SE 174 4Motion, which won out against the shoddy T5/6 conversions done on much newer vans. Will probably need loads of wise words once I've mastered driving a van!

Sounds great enjoy
Once you have got used to driving a camper van you will appreciate the raised seating position and the better views
Enjoy
