Sinbad is here!!

Big Ted · Mar 24, 2019

After a tense set of negotiations, not helped when my T4 decided to spew smoke from the dash when the dealer started it!!

1st time it’s ever done that, I think it was the vans dirty protest at being sold, I am now able to introduce Sinbad.

Popeye meeting Sinbad.

Got Sinbad home from Liverpool to Bristol, wow, such a different journey than the one drive up in the T4. (Thanks to Alform for the suggestion on the name)

Very pleased with the Cali, it’s in amazing condition, I’m not sure the roof bed has ever been used. The tables and chairs look like new and the interior is pretty well unmarked.

Loving the spec of Sinbad already, being a full fat Cali with parking sensors all round, 3 way climate, tan interior - such a massive upgrade from out N Reg Reimo van.

Everything seems to work, so looking fwd to our 1st night in it next week.
It’ll take a while to work out what goes where and how we stop the rattles, but most of our kit has moved across nicely.

So far the Cali has cost me a fortune!
I’m now the owner of the Kylie bike rack and a 5th seat. Both were needed purchases.
Met up with 2 forum members in the process of buying, both very nice people.

Next steps....
Remove rear spoiler to fit rack. (Or chop 2 holes in it) new thread to create on this one.
Fit led bulbs.
Get carbon monoxide alarm fitted.
Black out the rear of the little slide blind.
Save up for new head unit to allow phone pairing.
Use it and enjoy it!

Looking forward to all our adventures and contributing to the forum.
