Hi ,
I’m a total newbie and picking used Cali ocean up Tuesday ! Any advice as too essentials too pack for first adventure and where too go ? Any advice would be appreciated

Depends where you live. Go somewhere nearby see how it is. Obvious stuff is alcohol , bedding, clothes etc. If it's used should have hook up cable and gas. If not you need those 2 items first. Enjoy

You could do a lot worse than your first night on your own drive - no pressure of forgetting anything etc and if you can’t get comfortable (and dont have a mattress topper for example )your own bed is just a few steps away

My advice is just go and enjoy. You need very little. Comfort is my priority good nights sleep is everything.

We use a 15m hook up cable and only twice in our 6 years of ownership have we needed longer ( provided both times by the site ).
Some prefer the 25m and if your going abroad often needed as distance from power bloc can be considerable
Others carry a 10m plus 15m, for us it was about space saving.
Like many choices with your Cali …. ‘subjective & compromise’.

I concur a 15m is probably best and you don't plan on using any heavy duty power hungry kit (eg hairdryer, 3kW heater…) whilst travelling 1.5mm cables are a lot lighter and a bit more flexible than a 2.5mm one (which would handle 16amps) although everyone is likely to have their own opinion.
