The only issue/s with a Cali is they are all swb, suicide side door and you can’t put them through the business.
I looked long and hard at them before I got my Kombi, I’d still like one, but not until the kids have left home.
A kombi is treated as car for tax purposes unfortunately I looked long and hard at them before I got my Kombi, I’d still like one, but not until the kids have left home.
I know speed is a minor irrelevance for campervan, but I’d like to at least have the option to do 70 on a dual carriageway without risking my licence....never understood why a Kombi cannot do 70 but a VW shuttle/caravelle is allowed 70....
....I know: another reason I should stick with camping

Good work! Cali discounts (T6) were typically 5 - 9%, so lower than the transporters. I know someone who’s ordered a new 6.1 Ocean with 8% which seemed pretty good.
That’s a good discount on a 6.1 can you give the name of the dealer as I know someone who is looking at the moment. PM if not possible to post on line. Thanks tighnamara said:
