This is our 7th van over the years. We have converted a T4, a T5 4motion, two T6’s (one being a Caravelle dsg the other a high top panel van), a T6.1 4motion and then a curve ball Peugeot Expert (moment of madness).
As we head toward retirement and plan to travel Europe more, we have gone in for the Ocean 4motion. There is no comparison. Even though the conversions were to our plan and we enjoyed our time in them, the difference of the quality of our factory built ‘Kali the Camper’ is just fabulous.
It is classed in the luxury vehicle category, and there is a reason, it isn’t a van! Which, at the end of the day, whatever our conversion, it was a converted van - wether we bothered to change the classification of not.
For us , the California is expensive, but now we get it. Smooth, quiet, powerful, lots of clever storage, power roof, powers doors, dsg, traditional feel with being open and light with plenty of workspace, clever touches such as table in the door and chairs in the tailgate, everything is effortless and sitting in the front or the back, you are in a quality vehicle.
Size wise, we travel roads where the wing mirrors touch either side of the hedges - and fields where the 4wd is always of use - perfect.
It’s great that we are all different though - whatever you choose and however you travel, enjoy the road, stay safe, respect others
