- Looking to buy
Hello everybody.
I am seriously thinking about buying a new Cali. My budget is about 50K. I have a basic question that I hope you might be able to shed some light on. The reason for buying is that my wife and I are now empty nesters. We have 4 children - one of whom - is severely autistic. He has just entered a care home - and we want to use the Cali for trips involving the three of us - and for other trips with just my wife and myself. Our son loves driving along in a car - and we think that these types of holidays will be ideal. The first question is about sleeping arrangements. How will we best accommodate the three of us bearing in mind that i am 6ft 5 and nearly twenty stones. My wife is a demure 5ft 1 and am not allowed to divulge her weight (but its not much) - and our son in a hefty 17 stone. What is the weight limit for the top bed? Am I too big/heavy to sleep up there? Is it relatively easy (for my son or wife) to climb up there. Is the downstairs bed big enough for a hippo and a duck?
My son loves to play on the internet with his ipad - so we will have to equip ourselves with wifi antennas etc - which I'm sure is do-able. Apart from that dooes anyone have any othger suggestions? Is there generally a long waiting list for new Calis - and would you advise new over recent second hand?
Sorry for all the questions. I look forward to many miles of happy camping.
