First weekend away in our new to us VW California Ocean. Amazing bit of kit.

Having had a boxer conversion the past six years we "upgraded" to this. An Adria Compact which it certainly is. Great for Scotland and it's single track back roads being the narrow body. It's only got the weedy 2.2 and five speed but at least it's quite eco on diesel. Over garage bed layout.

I sold them new back in the day , they had 3 options packs then spin of options available if you had certain packs, so over complicated! Yours is the basic pack 1 so steelies , 2.2 and black bumpers which is proper rare!
That 2.2 was an underated option , way more econojicam than the flat 2.3 with the 6 speed box weirdly and upto 60mph as peppy cos of the low gearing, it'll map up to 150bhp and its chain driven as its the Peugeot/Ford engine unlike the belt driven iveco 2.3 In the fiat's, really good vans tbf

That sounds about right, essentially it's got cruise and Aircon. It's nicely built, have now upgraded from uprated super stiff rear suspension back to single leaf and air suspension, transformed the ride. I've also now added some larger size winter knobblies which have also helped the ride and the wet grass issues lol. Added an extra diesel heater too as Calor gas I is a rip off lately. It's nippy enough with the short gearing but 60mph is comfy 70mph is 3k rpm and it's then not.

Just waved goodbye to our first caravan "Gracie". Not named by us, she was a 2006 Elddis Sunseeker. We've had her 18 months and used her a fair bit during that time including the winter. We've enjoyed every trip, but decided that the traditional side dinette, front living room/bedroom doesn't work for us so she has gone off this afternoon to her new first time caravanner owners.



We have just picked up a 2015 Swift Challenger SE 640 with a rear island bed, which will work much better. The more modern interior and full size fridge freezer is also very welcome. Can't wait for our first trip away in it.

Our new to us Concorde. First time with an A class. Very different to the Commanche we had before although the same size.

Can’t wait to start travelling again, the weather seems to make it hard work!

That’s a proper beast - looks fantastic too. Any chance of some interior shots?
