Hi Bigted, still trying to get my head around spending almost a years wages on a vehicle and need to shift my current car. I am hiring one the end of the month for 3 days so no doubt I'll have many questions after that.

 

[Bigted]

Hiring one is a good thing to do - we hired as SE a few years back. I know what you mean about the money! Enjoy your few days away.

Hi and welcome , think hiring is a good thing but only trouble is if something bad should happen during that first trip it can ruin pretty much everything as we read here with someone who had a break in thru the sliding window....now he does not at all trust the disign of the cali anymore...
If he had not been visited by bad luck on that rental trip he now probaly be standing at VW ordering one!
If Bigted is living near to you , purhaps you can meet and he can show you arround in his Cali

Have you got any photos or a link to the advert? Is it trade? Im trying to get a part x deal at the moment? Very interested

The person is selling it privately for her parents in Nottinghamshire. It still has the pvc covering to the roof bed mattress. Apparently not bothered that the price is cheap

I would love to check this out, do you know this person?

 

[larrylamb]

I don't, i have seen it on a vw T5 forum on Facebook. I don't think it will be around long. Someone from another Cali forum is trying to get her to advertise it with them. Get in quick, she's not bothered it is going cheap as someone has already told her. Can i email you the link?

Yes please and thank you very much
