Thanks for letting me join. Just ordered a 23’ T6.1 California Ocean and getting excited about delivery. Any tips or suggestions, best practice or good bits to get for it, as we are totally new to the T6 club!

Congratulations on your new van and welcome aboard. There’s a ton of stuff out there for the Transporter and loads of ways to personalise your new purchase and make it your own, however it’s easy to get carried away too. Best advice is to use your van and enjoy it for a couple of get always first. Then decide what else you need, remember space is valuable, so don’t fill it with stuff you don’t need.

As @Srea064 says, space is valuable! A good rule of thumb is to try to make anything you buy for the van have 2 (or more) uses!
For example, we have some good fat VW drinks coasters that are currently in use as levellers for our cooking table because we are pitched on a slope!
Our actual levellers, in use normally currently because of the slope, sit on top of our awning fridge between the seats which make an extended armrest!
The awning fridge itself is an occasional seat and sometimes a step!
You get the idea!
Welcome to the forum!

Wayne is wise. I sometimes pack the wife on a camping trip, because as well as cooking she can also clean.

Those with young attractive wives may even find a third use for them. Ironing may need doing on a long tour.

I forgot to pack my wife at Busfest this year, I had to rely on others generosity to look after me!
She packs the fridge much better than I do...
She has been wonderful at Autumn camp cooking for everyone!
