We collected our California Ocean today at 12.00 from Eurovans Crawley. We’re absolutely delighted. David Marney has been fantastic throughout - very patient and with great explanations on handover to us. The handover took two hours!
It is exactly two months since we were lucky enough to place an order for our Cali (cancelled order). It’s a white 204 DSG with sports trim. It looks so smart. We had to go with the grey rubber floor, mattress topper and extra storage.
We put in some diesel and took her for a drive for a late lunch. We both had a drive and agree that she is absolutely great.
We have spent the rest of our afternoon sorting out all our new bits of kit for our first trip which is to North Norfolk tomorrow for five days.
The only problem so far is that our Cali arrived with only one key so we can’t set all of the electronic wizardry up yet. That will be done on our return next week.

Oh what a beaut! Wish we’d ordered the sports trim now. Have a great first trip away.
 
Fabulous although I still have no recollection of seeing it Friday! Too busy staring at ours ;) - what brilliant luck to get a cancelled order.

Enjoy - I set up WE but as you say, you need both keys, but TBH it's no loss and can wait. I just use it to check Mafalda is locked.

Ours filled, all ready, first day trips weekend and the Fowey next week. Good times. Let's see if the S2S mattress is as good as they say.
 
Hi dspuk, enjoy your day trips! Fowey is beautiful - you’ll have a great time!
Re the mattress as we have comfort Duvalays I’m not sure we’ll need the S2S. We’ll be like the princess and the pea at this rate!
 
I love the sport pack. Looks great with the Cali. Unfortunately we couldn’t have it in our Beach order as an option. Van looks fantastic. :thumb
 
Hi Richi, thank you. We are so pleased. I have to admit I probably wouldn’t have chosen it, but I’m delighted!
 
We’ve just put film protector (as recommended by others) on the glass worktops. We tried to fit clear film from Robert Dyas - useless, it bubbles up. We then bought film from B&Q. It was only available with a pattern. We’ve fitted it for now, but I actually think it looks okay (much to my surprise). I think it’s the stuff that people use for windows.

Ooh in white! She’s a beaut. Congrats and many happy adventures
 
Van looks brill!

Just returned from 3 weeks in North Norfolk. Try Stubby's in Sheringham for brilliant pizza! Can fully recommend.
 
Looks stunning, enjoy you break. Mine should arrive end off August, also in white.

Lovely! Looks great with the sports pack.
 
North Norfolk Try Cromer crabs. Dressed crabs are a great meal with brown bread and butter, easy for camping.
 
Looks great in White with the Sports pack.
I have it on Indium Grey looks so smart and no need for side bars anymore.
These aluminum worktop protectors are even better - no risk of dropping something on the glass.

Thanks we’ve had Wells crab already. Brown shrimps will be todays purchase from Gurneys at Burnham Market.
+ T6 POE Where did you get the aluminium worktop protectors please? We’ve put plastic film on, but that looks like a better option.

We collected our ocean last Friday and saw your van
Agree David mar ney on top of his game
Our van has gone up by almost 10£k since we ordered
Glad we paid original price

They look very smart, how are they for showing up finger prints etc? If they’re hard wearing I’d be very tempted. Assuming they do them for a T5.1.
