For those who sleep upstairs that bed is narrower too and you need to be able to climb up there, which if the population is getting older could become more of an issue. I’m sure the Sharavan will suit some people perfectly. It’s just a shame it won’t work so well for families anymore. A nice T7 California could be great though!
Aah, but you T6.1 owners have carried out the real world testing of the bellows. They will be fine.
Famous last words.
So it’s a SharaGlampaVan now?
Especially if you call it a Sharavan!There may well be some fireworks on the forum when these new members see what others make of their new pride and joy
They have to solve it soon surely - soon the bellow versions will be into double digits!
Yes it's had more sequels than Rocky!!!!They have to solve it soon surely - soon the bellow versions will be into double digits!
Before this fiacso it was 02S if i recall - and now they're on 05S which still leak
VW will start to get nervous when they hit the high 90's.They have to solve it soon surely - soon the bellow versions will be into double digits!

My POV is the reason to move to the back is a cost saving, you can just pour water straight into the tank without the need for a tube and external cap etc. I can't imagine enough people put fuel in it to afford a design change that big.
I really cant understand the interior fillup point. Ive yet to manage a fillup on our Ocean or Grand Cali without water spilling out.
I doubt it. Everyone is entitled to an opinion so if they love their van then that’s great. Loads of people think our T6.1 is a step down from a T6 but we don’t see it that way, and it’s likely Sharavan owners won’t either (unless they have particularly thin skin).I'll be really interested to hear what the new to this forum T7 owners say about their new van. I suppose it's only then we'll get a true view of what it's like to live with and what they like and dislike about their van. And perhaps even what motivated them to buy it particularly if they've never own another Cali beforehand.

Hey FB. Get with the program. This is the new Cali Universe.
It looks nice. Smaller water tank. Filled from inside. That's a bad idea. Seats are a massive faff now compared to the way the double seat collapses on a t6. The beach seats are ere even worse leaving no standing room at the end of the bed. 1 hob. No good as I actually cook in mine. Those touchscreen s everywhere and connecting to phones. Why does everything have to connect to your phone these days. Recipe for failure right there and the screens will probably go obsolete in a few years time. That fridge is losing all its cold air everytime you open it too. Some bad design ideas all round. To summarise I think it's a bit like women's football, the guardian loves it,but in reality,it's sh1t.
WG's a believer.
Well that proves it no ones right all the time!
True. It will suit us perfectly well.
I drive a fiat and a mercedes and a smart.....no ford in the mix at all....no wet cam belts, just two timing chains and a 100,000 mile iveco cambelt!
So why comment on the New California?
Because it is a free country...and a free forum..... and the new T7 multivan california thing IS the reason I now have a Fiat/Iveco!
Well seeing as you will never have one your comments are irrelevant and based on other 3rd party comments and no real world experience of the vehicle.
