   Recent purchase of the California drawer arrived promptly (after pre order). Easy to fit and makes loading and unloading so much easier and without back bending reaching into to storage area. I liked the fact that you can also get to the tool kit. It is well made and good value as compared with others that are available from abroad. Easy to remove if required. Highly recommend accessory.

   Received the other week again after a pre order. Follow the online video, tells you everything you need to know to fit, which is straightforward.
   Simple piece of kit but well made and does the job it is intended to do.
   Its one of those items you might hesitate to purchase due to the outlay, but having done this and then struggled on a trip, it was a no brainer to get one once stocks where back in.
   Something to note, the frame of the draw does cover up the power socket in the rear right hand side of the boot. Great bit of kit.

   A rear sliding drawer was top of my wish list of Cali accessories, so, I was delighted to learn that CVB would be producing a version for the 6.1 Cali with the lounge bed feature. I registered an interest to be notified when it came into stock. When word came through I was initially hesitant to place my order as the dimentions of the drawer, the depth, suggested the bench seat would need to be moved forward to accommodate it. Despite this, I decide to go ahead and placed my order, and, I am glad I did….. yes I had to move the bed forward a few millemeters….. but this is not noticiable and the benefits of this accessory far outweigh the few millemeters lost. Initial thoughts on arrival were: very well engineered and a high quality durable powder coated finish. Fitting took about 20 minutes….. This is not a cheap accessory but the ease of access it offers to what you store in the ‘boot’ space was, IMO, worth the outlay. I have since fitted out the drawer with six “Eurocrates” which has allowed me to compartmentalise my kit.

   I have been looking at this product for a while. After returning from our 3 week UK trip I was completely fed up with constantly unloading and loading the rear space to reach stuff. Seeing this shelf was on offer I decided to buy. I asked for delivery to be slightly delayed to correspond with our arrival home which worked out well and the shelf arrived home just after we did. Fitting was no trouble but I did decide to mark the top of the tee bolts so I could identify their orientation when screwing on the plastic nuts; I’m glad I did as they spin and without marks you have no way of telling where the Tee bit is! I used a hack saw and cut slots deep enough to take a screw driver which I used to hold the tee piece in place while the nuts were tightened.
   I’m delighted with the shelf and it allows me easy access to all our stuff. One problem I encountered is that when I shut the drawer it was not locking in place. By slamming the left side locked but not the right. I discovered that the back of the shelf was hitting the plastic hand nuts which did not allow sufficient rearwards movement for the locks to engage. It seems to me the plastic hand nuts are slightly too big. I replaced with standard 8mm lock nuts and problem solved.

   You need one of these, makes the space so much more useable and easier to access. Couple of points to reinforce on existing reviews.
   Mark the top of the t piece so you know it is in the right orientation prior to tightening.
   The plastic top bolts are not easy to tighten down so I replaced with a tie down version available on Amazon, this then enables retaining straps to be utilised.
   The runner on the offside does not sit flush with the floor due to the design of the T6 Ocean, I padded that out with 10mm adhesive foam this stops it rattling and distorting.
   Superb addition to the van, no more reaching underneath to recover gear, i added the Thule box as well so its all sorted. No.more lost climbing gear.
   It’s not cheap and there are cheaper versions out there but they are cheap for a reason, this is a quality product.
   Treat yourself.
