[Jester]

Hi thinking ahead with regards to storage, has anyone purchased the draw system as shown on the German
Site, are there any negatives

I've also been considering those. Hefty price tag for 4 drawers!

I don't have it but you would only be able to access the top drawer when the bed is out. With the cupboard shelves you can at least reach in. Might not be a problem if you always sleep upstairs. A good use of the space otherwise.

These are all genuine VW parts that make up these drawers so much cheaper to buy from your dealer.

Interesting. When I first saw the German drawers I asked my dealer about them and he had no idea

If you haven’t got your Cali yet, wait! It’s not until you’ve been away a few times that you start to get a feel for what will and won’t work for you.

im afraid its not that simple the drawers and hinges are vw parts the side fixings that actually allow the fitment have been made elswhere

I will wait until it has been used a few times and talk and see a few owners use of space, but I hate clutter and untidiness

Would prefer purchasing from dealer but understand not all parts are OEM.

Being tidy in a camper can be a bit of a challenge!

Sadly not the ridge monkey, but it’s right up there, no, the pull-out rear shelf.

Yes, mine came yesterday, the hardest part was translating the instructions on Google! I have saved and attached an English version.

Just make sure the runner assemblies are not upside down; note that the one with the horizontal sticky tape is on the RHS and the vertical tape is on the left; and that the runners line up with the existing drawer at the top. I warmed up the surfaces by pointing a fan heater in the cupboard for a few minutes; also clean the contact areas with some alcohol wipes to remove any grease.

Brilliant thanks very much for that perfect

I don't think I read the instructions.
I assembled the bottom draw onto one the sliders and offered it into the cupboard and used a straight edge to align the drawer with the top drawer and check the door would close and then marked the side with a pencil.
Then repeated with the other side, then peeled off the tape and stuck them in placing the side rail to the very bottom. My thinking was not to have all the gaps the same but get the lowest drawer as low as possible and this makes the second drawer slightly deeper for mugs etc.
I just popped out and took some photos for you.

They are so better organised than the space on the other side. Really like them, should be a factory option imo.
