Hi from Belgium!

[ez-roller]

I'm a young (35 that is) adventurous guy from Ghent, BE.
First things first. This forum is awesome. So many tips, so many nice topics, good vibes. Thank you for all the information.
English is not my first language, so forgive me my mistakes.

I am proud to announce that i finally bought my own California
After renting numerous vans (al kinds) abroad (US, New Zealand, Australia, Norway,...) , i decided buy one. So last month i picked it up. We named him Herman.

It's a 2019 Coast in candy white. Last week Herman got a duotone wrap, which i'm very happy with. I love this colour combination. Gives it that extra punch & holiday vibe

My girlfriend and i planned some weekend trips, and this summer we will roadtrip trough France, Spain & Portugal.

Nice to meet you

Congratulations on your purchase, welcome to the forum and enjoy the bus!

There is something rugged looking about steel wheels and yours looks spot on. Good colour choice on the wrap, btw.

Thank you!

I removed the plastic discs from the rims because i don't like them. I really like black steel rims. They suit the van really well in my opinion.

Really like the look of these (rims, not tires):

Hey, gefeliciteerd met de cali! I am a “freshly” owner myself and just got back from a tour in the Netherlands. We had sun/rain/snow and temp going from 9 tot 0 degrees and all was well and cosy in the cali. This camper grows on you like it is an extra family member!

the most important lesson i learned so far driving the cali: take every opportunity, enjoy!

the wrap was done by www.letteristique.be
It’s was 1200 €. The vinyl is from Avery, so good quality. Nice & friendly service. It took 2 days to wrap.
