California Dreamer in Herts!

Matt65 · Oct 8, 2025

On the cusp of retirement and looking to join the “Cali Club” with a T6 or T6.1 . Already clear there is great info here and some nice vans in the Classifieds too. Good bye commuting, hello camping

Welcome to the forum! I hope your dreams are soon realised. We did the same a few years ago and it’s been transformative to our lives :thumb

I’m also recently retired
I also live in Herts
I’m also still California Dreaming (although last night my dream involved me clearing blocked roof drains with adblue, so it was a little more like a nightmare

).
Welcome!

Welcome from another Herts well retired Cali owner who hasn't checked his roof drain holes, yet!

So the decision is, Ocean or Beach or something in between?
These vans are built for retirement. We haven't looked back and I hope you have some wonderful adventures. We found that after the initial investment, it is a cost effective way to travel and explore.
Hope you start living the dream soon.

Thanks to all for the positive welcome replies. Appreciated . Sorry for the tardy response! I reckon a Coast or Ocean, Up10. Seems like I got a future tip to store away re the powers of adblue Acer
