Training weekend for newbies

[NickNewortWales]

Hi being a newbie to the VW camping world I have watched many YouTube videos and read many a thread.

I was wondering in anyone knows of a weekend induction/training/support group to get to know your van and help you with the basics? Understanding what pitches are best for various scenarios etc …

The best training is self discovery, everyone’s preferences differ - book up a few different sites and see what is best for you. At the start we were trying to second guess everything, I’d like to think we’re a bit more chilled now! There anre always compromises.

Hi. Find a Cali buddy who lives near you. Most of us are happy to share experiences. My best piece of advice is don’t put the roof down when you have had one glass of cheer too many and it’s raining. You might just close the door and forget to look at the warnings on the console about opening a window or door etc etc. All was ok in the end but it still haunts me!
