Thanks for the video. We have a van on order that will be our only vehicle. Really pleased to hear Lou’s comments as I’m going to be going from driving a mini. 😊

I have a California and use it as my daily driver. I drive little over two miles to work and am lucky if I get 20 mpg for those little trips. Longer trips can get much closer and sometimes over 40 mpg. Mine’s a 2 litre 150hp auto. You didn’t mention if yours is a manual or auto when talking about your average mpg.

I’m sure the back of my van has no carpet so dog hairs wouldn’t stick to anything.

Also the manual says my van is 1.95 metres tall. It is not lowered. I have been under a 2 metre height barrier but the ground was super level and I had a pair of eyes outside the van checking. I held my breath all the way under!

Great video and good to see you enjoy your van as much as I enjoy mine.

Some good info there. I’ve been using my T5.1 camper as my daily for the last couple of years. Love driving it, and as you said I also prefer the higher seating position as it feels safer. Having a diesel heater fitted in the current weather conditions is also ideal, as I press the heater on from in the house when I get up so it’s nice and warm when I get in to drive to work 😀

Downsizing from motorhome for myself and my husky, so this is perfectly timed! 😊Happy New Year to you both and doggos!

I agree with everything you've said. I've just gone from a 5.1 to a LWB Crafter and although that's a lot bigger (and I still use it as a daily) it just takes a little thinking about parking.

Hey, great video. Is the sliding seat feature standard for that model?
