Newbie Beach owner from Norfolk

Hey everyone, so happy to join the club. Picked up our bright red 2018 Beach yesterday. Been a dream of ours a long time. Had a Bongo when kids were little, and old L300 when travelled round New Zealand, but this thing is next level. Keep going outside to check it’s real. Lots to learn - will be all over the forum. We have two goldendoodles to take the edge off empty nest lifestage, so keen for any tips making it work for them too

Welcome to the club and the forum. I’m sure you’ll get loads out of it.

2 golden doodles - wow - I bet they keep you entertained and active! We look after our sons occasionally - he’s always full of beans! (Edit - dog not son !)

Nice! We have a 2019 Beach, owned it since 2020. For us it's a real Swiss army knife, mainly used as a kid's bus and to camp, but also as furniture transport, mobile office, tip-runs, etc. You're going to love it!

I owned a beach for six years and it was a great vehicle. Have great memories. Good luck and happy travels

Thank you - I love that - I'm going to call it the Swiss army knife - it's already doing everything and making life so easy - I was so worried it would be big or impractical - now can't imagine driving anything else!

Your description is spot on “Swiss army knife” for travel.

They are just great vehicles! Wish I’d got one long ago.

Enjoy and share all your travels with us!
