OCEAN to BEACH

[WelshGas]

This thread is comedy gold.
@WelshGas, absolute legend

Well, if certain people keep banging on how supposedly superior the Beach is compared to the SE/Ocean then I’ll respond. They are 2 different vehicles. Both can be very flexible within certain limitations for each vehicle, and those limitations for the Beach are as a Campervan and the SE/Ocean as a people carrier and load carrier.

Both can go camping, one as a Campervan in all seasons and weathers and the other as a van for camping with limitations unless really well equipped for all seasons and all weathers.

As it is built the Ocean is a Campervan. It has fixed camping equipment and the Specialist Insurance companies recognise it as a Campervan, not so for Beach which some companies won’t cover under their dedicated Campervan insurance.

Comfort Discriminates against Beaches

I sold my SE180 in March, suspended my Comfort insurance and ordered a new Beach 150. I contacted Comfort today for a quotation for the new vehicle. I was very surprised when I was told that because this was a Beach I could only be covered in the EU for a maximum of 90 days in the 12 months and...

That's interesting. Your perception of this thread is 'certain people' professing the Beach to be better than an Ocean. I don't think it's any better or worse. Versatility/flexibility do not equate to superiority in most peoples minds. Simply multifaceted, more useful and appropriate for their current circumstances.

I am now closing this thread as it has gone way off topic and getting boring
