Thinking of changing to this caravan next year anyone got one yet and whats your opinion of the senator ranger as a whole and the california in particular.

Have got a eldiss oddessy 544 just now love the smoked windows, but the blow air heating is crap!

Had a bailey pagaent provence changed it due to layout, dont remember the heating being an issue on the bailey, we rally in the winter and go away at xmas and new year so need a warm van

Not being funny mate but we bought the pangeant sancerre which is identical to the senator california in dimensions and layout , after looking at the california we were of the opinion that difference between the two vans did not warrant the £2,000 extra as for you extra cash all you get extra is (1) onboard water tank

                                                       (2)tracker for one year

                                                       (3) flat screen tv with dvd

                                                        (4) alko wheel lock

                                                        (5) heated towel rail

                                                        (6) electric flush toilet

 And a few cosmetic changes which is hardly worth £2000 in price difference

have any of you tried the van out in cold weather yet, is the blow air warm enough.

think i like the look of the california over the sancerre, ( although funnily enough sancerre is my most favourite wine )

wish they would do smoky windows, love the privacy of them and definately keep the van cooler abroad in summer

Couldn't agree more Sancerre is a cracking van and like you I didn't think the extra £2k was worth it and the Senator is a heavier van which will cost extra in fuel over its lifetime. Have to disagree with you re location of gods' country, I think you'll find its called Yorkshire!

Dont think the on board water tank would hold up to our xmas holiday in aviemore at minus 25 pipes all froze, the aqua roll froze solid (hubby forgot insulated jacket) took 3 days inside in front of the fire to thaw!!!!!!

we normally dont put water on board and use the facities on site. new year is rally mode so no blow air just good old gas we are further south and therefore its milder

Loved my pageant but think i would definately go for the senator.  when is the senator due for an overhall ie series 8
