T6.1 Beach Camper in UK

[AlisonF]

Finally, I am a VW California owner again. Meet the Silver Dream Machine #2.

Congrats.. looks amazing. You have gone for a similar spec to me with the 3 seater bench and 8" screen. Looks really smart. Enjoy !!

 

[Tarquers]

Congrats. Looks great. Bet you are pleased after the wait.

I am. But nursing a dog after an op so too exhausted to be excited. I had to apologise to the sales guy for my dampened enthusiasm... I am sure after a couple of nights good sleep it will hit home that I’m back in the forum as a fully paid up member...

Alison,

can you take a photo of the floor rails please? Just want to make sure the extra captains chairs could be added.

No BEACH sticker to sliding door side?

Looks lovely by the way!

 

[AlisonF]

More pics showing the floor rails, 240V socket, inverter and some USB ports on driver side chair (RHS).

 

[2haw]

Does the socket on the seat work without Hook up or is it the same as the one in the rear?

 

[Ch1pbutty]

Is the 240v circuit breaker still in the Jack compartment (or have they moved it forwards)

 

[AlisonF]

Please keep the questions coming and I’ll answer them tomorrow.
Still dealing with a dog recovering from major surgery and three others who are feeling neglected.
Bare with me and I’ll get the answers (it’ll push me to check things I hadn’t thought of doing so all good!)

I spy some lighting to the rear seat bases which I haven’t had before on either of my Beaches.

I think it’s a sticky label...?

Oh.

Congratulations @AlisonF it looks great. Good to finally have confirmation that the Beach Camper indeed comes with EHU

Are those floor lights on the bottom rear of the driver and passenger seats?

I thought exactly the same on post 11 above.
see post 12.

Ah, I read your post and Alison’s response as referring to the rear of the sliding bench where there is a (single) sticker visible.

Sorry. I thought that was referring to rear of Bench seats - which is a sticky label referring to how to move them.

 

[Camperfamily]

@AlisonF when you get a chance could you please check whether there are Isofix fixing points on the middle seat of the bench? I believe this hasn’t been present on previous Beaches although space wouldn’t be a constraint, so VW may have added this to the T6.1

 

[AlisonF]

I think the above posts show how easy it is to misread a post. It happens a lot, so thank you for keeping this one polite and friendly.

 

[Camperfamily]

The 12v socket above the gas bottle looks conveniently placed for carrying a fridge in that area. Not sure whether it was there in previous Beaches.

Do the driver and passenger seats have extra pockets on the rear as per the T6.1 Ocean?

Yes. At least there are two pockets on each and my T6 Ocean just had one on each.

I can see I will be asked to check what comes from leisure battery and what from engine battery...

 

[Camperfamily]

I hadn’t thought of that question (yet)
