We hope to sleep up top but I think we will have to invest in a ladder. Just wish I could try one before I she'll out £140 +

They are expensive but we find it really useful. We’ve found any Cali accessory we’ve bought & we've bought a lot, to be expensive.

We have one of these in our Beach, it’s great and stows nicely as it hangs off the rear headrests when not in use:

No adventures as yet. We had our van for 1 hour. Learnt the day before we picked it up that the corrosion recall had been brought forward. It will be in Southport for 3 weeks. The weather is awful so better now than spring.

At last after more than a month we have it back.
