I used packing cubes like this (that I already had) when I hired a camper in October. Worked well. I’ve read elsewhere that if each family member gets their own colour then it makes it nice and easy to retrieve what you’re looking for. Makes sense!
I think we are a few weeks ahead of you, but no offer of £500 of goodies. I may mention it to the dealer next week when I call for an update, though as it’s not appeared to date, I’m not expecting a result.
It’s all worth it
It's all worth it (if you've got time to use it...)
Yeah that video is way clearer than Cali Chris'.
Yes I think it would work for that. Or perhaps when you are camping in the heat, you could use ventilate immediately to bring ambient air (cooler than the day's accumulated heat) inside in the evening. Shame the a/c can't work on hookup...
I'm about a month behind you for van leaving the factory: dealer's estimate of van getting to me by 4-6 weeks later may be optimistic considering how long yours has already been at Emden. Watching your posts with great interest.
I think the model year is more relevant, but if it’s a few days til the new reg, and it’s of no consequence to you, might as well get the new plate
I know other vans have come and gone through Emden whilst mine has got itself comfy!! So yours won’t necessarily take as long as mine. I’ve actually been wondering if mine will be a March reg!!!
Yes, if it’s a matter of a week or so, I’d delay it. It’s a daft system, but from experience it does have an impact on car future values.
Me neither. I can only guess it's for if you park up after a drive you can 'heat immediately' with the front vents as the engine is still warm.
ive started to realise this is actually a really good function. my van is 50 metres away from my house, and in a morning before sunrise i go to my back room and press the remote , and the heater starts set to 30 mins max , and then i make my flask and do the stuff i do every morning, leave the house and get in a perfectly toasty van, which i tend to have maybe 10 mins left on the timer but i leave on giving the van engine time to warm up its own heater ........ that for me is just a perfect reason to have this little function
No, ventilate will only bring in ambient air.
How does that work Andy? Pull up with a hot van, turn the engine off and press the Rest button, and it pulls through engine heat for how long?
It runs for 20mins per push of the button, great for when the Mrs has gone shopping & I am just waiting in the van, no fuel used , no engine running. Also good for lunch stops etc.
Great news !
That was when we had an update as well, when the factory messaged out to the dealers. Your build date looks sensible, assuming there no other further glitches in parts supply or factory production.
