Hi , we are Tim and Sophy from Teddington SW London and looking to buy a newish Ocean soonish. We had a Bongo in the past with our four boys in which we had many happy (I like to think!) adventures. They have mostly grown up and mostly moved out so we are also moving on. Hope to be part of the band soon. Cheers

Take your time working out what spec you want and which van is going to suit you best. Know that it is always going to cost you more than you intended and that you will likely buy too many gadgets and additions after you have bought it.
Have fun doing your research and whatever you choose, I am sure you won't regret it.
What good is money in the bank anyway!
Don't forget that if you buy privately, any warranty and service agreements are transferable so that gives better peace of mind.

Thanks Up10 ! Sound advice. We are looking forward to the search ...and the money draining away!

Welcome and good luck with your hunt!!

If you’re about to pull the trigger on a Cali, there are helpful ‘handover checklists’ on the forum’s Resources section. They’re meant to be for new vans, but equally useful for nearly new. I think you need to pay the subscription for VIP members- but at £15 it could be worthwhile.
