Now the long wait !

[Jo ho ho]

Today we’ve ordered our first Cali. After going round in circles re models, options, ’fors’ ‘against’ lists, we put our decisive heads on and did it. Haven’t stopped smiling since we left the garage.

Now the wait. At least we will have ideas when anyone asks us what we want for Christmas. I’ll start a list for that now.
1. Gas bottle ... now who dare I ask to buy us that without them thinking we are bonkers ?

Thank you so much for your comments on the site as we have been so much more informed. Still lots to learn and lots more research to do. Happy times ahead.

May just do that Kev.

Have a friends party to go to that evening but hopefully we will be able to make it.
Thanks Jo

Asking for a gas bottle at christmas may be a bit problematical .... not many would have a stocking big enough to put it in, so I suggest you also ask for a comfort mattress cover at the same time

2. Kitchen work top protection?

Great idea. I’ll try that.

Oh yes that’s a definite. Although I’ve got in my mind not to buy too much until we get it. That will be hard.

Sorry multifunction sport steering wheel.

That sounds like a lovely spec and it will look stunning in those colours, especially with the chrome trim too.

What happened to the Marco Polo? I thought you were getting keen on that?

Yes as I said we went round in circles. We loved both vehicles. We were impressed with the MP but practicality won the day. As mentioned on earlier threads it was things like the space in the rear and the bed which helped us go with the California. We were certainly glad we looked into the MP as we now know through doing our homework that it’s the right choice for us.
Happy days ahead.

Happy days indeed!

Now just a long, long winter to wait
