Hi all, been lurking for a while while we wait for our new Cali. We’ve ordered a Coast in Starlight Blue with a few user friendly options. The dealer confirmed it’s being built at present and we should have the van towards the end of February.
We’ve had various iterations of the Transporter camper, from a T4 to an Indium Grey T6 conversion most recently. We also previously had a Mercedes Marco Polo, which made us realise that we would love another factory conversion - everything just works that little bit better!
The Marco Polo had a very special place in our hearts, as we sold our cafe businesses and went travelling in it for a year. We covered some 20,000 miles in 12 European countries with our then 2 year old daughter. Now that the kids are at school it will be some years before we do this again, but it’s definitely on the cards when they flee the nest...
Our new Cali will be dual purpose - our transport to the beach and camping trips for our family when possible, but also part of our small rental fleet. We run a camper hire company with a few vehicles ranging from a Citroen Berlingo micro camper, to a Mazda Bongo, as well as the aforementioned T6 conversion, and now soon the California. I won’t say too much else about this as I don’t want it to appear that we’re canvassing....when we have the van we intend to register on the ‘for hire’ section on this site, and we believe we’ll be the only company renting a T6.1 Cali in Cornwall.
First and foremost though the California will be our van, and we’re over the moon to hopefully have it soon. Just before my 40th birthday as it happens, so a nice early present from me to me.
Would love to hear about other T6.1 Coast owners’ experience and contribute to the forum more myself in time, once ours lands with us.
We’ve ordered Inka seat covers, are there any ‘must haves’?
Take care everyone, Ben
