  There is certainly a leaning curve with these vans, had mine for a few months now and we have had a few nights away (winter) so not used the pop top yet as we sleep downstairs. The van is my daily (I’m retired though) but we are enjoying many day trips out and the ability to sit comfortably and make a brew and a snack with a lovely view is great. <br>Low enough to get into most hight restricted car parks although I had a close call with one in Southend Essex. <br>So many accessories available that can make life more comfortable and manageable. An EcoFlow power pack is handy as an electric kettle can be used to make a brew or run an electric fan if required when not using an electric hook up. Looking forward to some better/warmer weather and really get to enjoy having the van and being outdoors.

  Great video. I&apos;ve had a 6.1 Ocean for nearly a year and love it. My rear seat moves really easily so I guess some sort of issue with yours as that&apos;s not normal. One really important point about the pop-top - the sliding panel needs to be open before you put the roof up or down and you also need to have a door or window open. It&apos;s basically a big set of bellows so will need to suck air in or squeeze it out of the van. Couple of other things - the USB ports on the side of the kitchen work off the leisure batteries so they&apos;re always &apos;on&apos; - it&apos;s just the 3 pin socket on that panel that only works on hook-up. The 3 pin socket under the driver&apos;s seat runs off an inverter connected to the leisure batteries (not the front starter) and on a T6.1 I think it&apos;ll take upto 300w load.

  I&apos;ve looked at quite a few videos on the California but this one differs as its got into the nuts and bolts workings of the van which has been a really good insight for me.Thanks!

  Open the shutter before raising or lowering the roof to let air in/out!!!!!!
