Do we go bigger ?

We went from a Cali T5.1 to a Knaus Boxstar (6m) back to a Cali T6.1. For a reason: we figured we don't really need the larger van with two people. The drive of the Cali is sooo much better, and the versatility allows you to use it anywhere - and as a car. Impossible with the bigger ones.

Bigger but not TOO big? Here's your answer (yes its a Ford but looks very interesting)

The new Westfalia Kipling - a 4-seater camper van

The new Westfalia Kipling embodies a new way of travelling in freedom, with a layout concept that’s completely new for the brand.

I actually saw it in this video...... (around 25:30)

I am tempted to go larger - my essentials are a large storage area and a poptop.
I am put off by the height - losing entrance in so many parking areas.
I've been thinking about 5.4m vans mainly, though this Westfalia Kipling is intriguing. I searched for videos and could not find how feasible is to sleep downstairs with the roof down. Looks like the vertical space is like that of a coffin !

We all kid ourselves…
Having ditched the California as a daily driver (vw vans 20+ years as a daily) the Cali is not a great daily.
It’s not the best daily and it’s not the best camper.

I much prefer my 335d touring as my daily over any VW bus.
