Hi
Have been opening boxes on our new Grand California 680 and found these!! Any idea what they are for - and no they arent for the bedaroom

Get's Popcorn and a nice glass of Red. This thread could be fun!

 

[Moonlight Motel]

Yeah I thought so too!!

 

[Moonlight Motel]

Not sure, there are other straps that look like they are for around the cylinders

 

[Wesel]

Did anyone else use the van before you?

 

[Moonlight Motel]

Nope, we bought it new. So no toys left behind

 

[Algor]

Could be internal table straps

 

[Moonlight Motel]

Nope not that - those straps are already attached where the table sits when driving

 

[Algor]

Fitted sheets adjust to the shape of the mattress?

 

[Algor]

Pretty sure they are bed straps mate go to YouTube:

Just watched the video and definitely not the bed straps. The bed straps are permanently attached to the beds and have snap shut fasteners. My mystery straps have buckles and the ring!!
Good suggestion though

I used to have a T5 camper but recently got a La Strada EB Ducato based van, imported from Germany new. I have identical straps and they came in the gas cabinet. I have not figured out what they are for. My guess is that they fit over the shroud on a standard German gas bottle, but since I don't have such a bottle I can't check it out.

Thanks for that. In the absence of anything else I will have to go with that !!

Seen stuff like that in some shops in Amsterdam.

That was what I thought too when I first saw them

They keep the gas bottle in place when
used with the base plate.

Now that makes a lot of sense, thanks

Hi MM I ask the same question when I picked mine up and apparently they are for gas bottles-restraints Even the gaslow installers confirmed this.

 

[Soton Campers]

They are for the smaller gas bottles. This is not mentioned in the user manual. Different markets have more or less common gas bottle sizes. These straps fit the ones that are most common in the UK for example.
