What deems it as a 07 model

[jerrythegerman]

Mines a December 2006, registered 07.

Is there a spec difference?

I know the roof geometry is different, not sure what else?

 

[jerrythegerman]

Ah yes, and that's what I am interested in for a top cover. Is it measurably smaller and is there any other indications that would confirm it. I've been told it's a 2007 spec but want to be sure.

If it helps, it only has side windows in the roof, not a front one. The seat goes down via a loop in the seat base, not a lever in the rear of the back seat back rest.

The chassis number will also tell you if it is a 2006 or 2007 model year.

For example, WV2ZZZ7HZ6H123456 is a 2006 model year. WV2ZZZ7HZ7H123456 is a 2007 model year.

Thanks Alex, looking at my paperwork, it's a 6.

So next question is what can i do about these cap covers that only go from 07 onwards? anyone have on one a 06??

Hi Jerrythegerman,

Not sure if any of the following is relevant, and I'm guessing a bit (completely actually) but I don't think the rigid parts of the roof have changed - I think that the changes are limited to the stiff inserts into the canvas and the issue of whether you have a front window or not. I don't think the front window is relevant to the shape - the same shape roofs can have either two or three windows. My '08 model had a two window roof originally but it was replaced under warranty before I got it, and the new one has three windows - so I guess they are interchangeable.

Thanks for that info, seems it's not cut and dried then. I understand that most if not all of these caps are for the 07 onwards ones but wanted to know why?

I have a Mutze cap on 56 reg Bought it about 4 yrs ago from California Camping.
www.california-camping.de via the facebook forum. I understand that the geometry of the roof is different. Try mailing ( info@california-camping.de )

I too have a 56 plate and am considering a cover in the future. All the research I have done means that only a mutze would fit as the others are suitable for post 2007. However see my earlier comments on the new Cali roof topper string as they may be able to make you one if they can get the measurements for a pre 2007 model.

If someone was to send me the roof measurements with it up I will see what can be done
Even better if someone with a 2006 Cali was to drive to bolsover in Derbyshire we could measure your roof and make you one at cost
