On April 2, full of anticipation, we introduced our idea of a Grand California driver training course and opened registration. Relatively quickly, 10 participants signed up bindingly and we were able to book the place and the instructors at the ADAC fix. Unfortunately, as is so often the case in life, some people did not keep their binding commitment and so three places for the training became free again.

What happens after the training?
After the driver training, we reserved a parking space for the entire group in the Eifel at the Vogelsang campground. There we can arrive in the evening and finish the day together.
The pitch in the Eifel has a supply and disposal station, there is no electricity or sanitary building on site. The supply and disposal is free of charge. Please be prepared to have to use the bathroom and restroom in your Grand California.

This weekend the pitch will host an exhibition with many different exhibitors such as: Ctystop AutoSat, Jemako, Efoy, T&U Camperstall, etc. will be held. Maybe one or the other will find something interesting for his Cali.
