New T6.1 Ocean

[Neuromancer11]

Picked my Ocean up from the guys down at Breeze on Saturday, thought i'd share a few pics, unfortunately i didn't get any at the dealership as it was slashing it down when i collected!







Looking forward to some trips away, but need to get some stuff first, i resisted the urge to splurge on a bunch of cool stuff i probably don't need before taking delivery!

Very nice, let us know what accessories you end up buying before your 1st adventure

So the internet shopping has started, so far I’ve ordered:

Vango Selene Kingsize sleeping bag, we have a tent too, and was due a new one anyway
25m hookup
Outwell foldable kettle
Outwell foldable washing up bowl

Really need to sort out a 907 bottle and some way to fill the fresh water tank, unfortunately my outside tap is about 30m from my drive and I’m not keen on buying a reel hose “just for the van”

Welcome and great time to pick up your van. We would recommend getting a Sparesafe ( club shop) for your spare wheel, historically very ‘nickable’
We can and do, fill our water tank from driveway but ultimately if on a site use a foldable 5 lt carrying bottle ( club shop) for most of our drinking and cooking needs ( and dogs bowl ) refilled from site tap and for washing up we use site kitchen so not much of the tank supply is used. So unless wild camping, initially I wouldn’t be overly concerned.

Best thing we’ve found is a collapsible water container (we use the folding flat bag type) and a funnel (which stays in place without holding) - very easy and cheap

That’s a good shout, I do have a collapsible water container for the tent, I’ll have a look at that funnel

 

[California Dreamer]

Something like this works well with the funnel as it’s easy to pour, we use 2x 5litre bags so they’re not too heavy to carry but there are larger sizes.

Noticed yesterday that Towsure have the gaz bottles, empty, on offer

We just use a 10 litre watering can from B&Q (which is kept exclusively for that purpose)

Some sort of seat cover. You can go expensive or more affordable, but either way, the van will get muddy, wet etc etc. Everything else seems relatively easy to keep in a reasonable state but the grey seats seem to have a reputation of staining very very easily. And ear plugs - vital for every campsite!

 

[Neuromancer11]

Yeah seat cover is a good shout already spotted my 3 year old lad had his trainers on the rear seat climbing into his car seat

We had our first day van outing today, really enjoying the decent fridge

Toilets in



I know the under sink isn’t that popular around here, but my autistic son requires quite a large pushchair so that takes up most of the room under the rear shelf unfortunately

Its fine with me - if it went in the boot it would be closer to where we store food than when its in that cupboard.

Looking at your photo reminds me that I keep meaning to see if it's possible to leave the shelf out but squeeze in another drawer. I know you cant really raise the existing one by much due to the sink trap being in the way but Im sure it must be possible to squeeze another one in there somehow.

I’m proper in the club now, stickers on

I'd be adding awning tie-down straps to your shopping list.

 

[Neuromancer11]

Ah yes forgot about those, I bought some the other day as well as some Thule level ups

Yep well spotted

We have ordered our Ocean in Ascot Grey with Sport Styling Pack today from Breeze. They have been fantastic during the process.

 

[Neuromancer11]

Nice I’m kinda regretting not ordering the sport pack, those black wheels look awesome!

There were two used California at Poole with black alloys and that’s what swung me to include the Sports Pack. We’ve added the spec we want including Art Velours seats, Pro Nav, wooden floor, red bellows, high beam assist, shower, bed topper, storage/net and tow bar prep. It all came in with the April camper deal at £75K, which is cheaper that the two used vehicles. It was a deal not to be missed.

Foldable kettle is very good, we have that

Yes used it a few times now and it’s decent, just a shame it doesn’t whistle!
