Hello all, have just registered so saying hello! My wife and I are close to ordering a new California, and searching for some answers led me here, so thought I may as well register. Having considered new v used, and T6 v T7, Cali v conversion, and even Marco Polo v VW! Test driven a T7 Ocean PHEV a few weeks back, and we are leaning towards a new T7 Ocean Petrol at the moment, and just looking to explore the final decision on spec and deals.
It's as much to be a weekend lifestyle vehicle, and long distance roadtrip vehicle, with two decent sized dogs, rather than just a campervan for holidays, so the T7 with two sliding doors, and the individual removable seats, and all the modern in-car tech, is really appealling.
I shall no start reading through the T7 forum and seeing what answeres there are already to some questions I have.

Hi and welcome, i have a petrol T7 Ocean and a large Viszla I have now covered over 6000miles. Previously had a 6.1 Ocean for 48,000 miles. Any questions happy to help.
 
I bought a stocked petrol Ocean, so tried to find the best spec available in the UK, if I had any patience I would have waited and added the advanced parking package.
I don’t have full electric doors and wouldn’t miss them after I met someone with that option and they were frustrated with how slow they are when it’s raining.
I’d recommend mudflaps, 4 key option (make sure you get the parking heater remote key) and make sure you order the towbar as it’s your only option for a rear bike rack.
I have the Art Velour seat option (which seems to have disappeared from the configurator) but seem pretty good.
After market I added a Spacemate rear drawer and Solar Camper Solutions solar panels, Duvalay Freshtec mattress topper, ceramic paint protection and have been really pleased with the additions.
I needed to add a tracker for the insurance, I opted for the Scorpion S5 without the immobiliser as I wasn’t sure how that would cope with a van being locked from the inside and in camper mode.
I previously had a T6 California and I am enjoying the T7, I cannot comment on trying to camp with two big dogs - but I’m sure others on here can.
