New T6 Ocean and Some Very Fine Accessories

[El Greco]

So excited, should be here soon, suddenly my German has become really quite good!

Take your time to align the two assemblies. I also had to enlarge the locating holes at the rear of each drawer by about a millimeter, helps getting the drawers in without too much force.

Enjoy

I chose the Calidrawer Ocean 800 for the convenience of using 600x400 and 400x300 boxes. I now have a few of these and grab different boxes from my garage depending upon the nature of the trip, e.g., MTB boxes, or kayaking boxes! They're ideal for a supermarket trolley as well, no need for carrier bags, and it's easy to carry the weekly shop into our home. This has been an amazingly versatile system.

You're right that the rear seat has to come forward a few centimetres but it's not been an issue at all. There's just enough space to get the table out, and I've never had a problem getting individual items from the cupboard, although you would not get away with full-width storage containers in the cupboard. I use the left-hand cupboard for pots, pans, kettle, and entertainment items (laptop, chess, etc.) I use only the big drawer for food, divided up using Ikea's fabric trays so nothing moves around. The only thing I wouldn't buy again is light grey carpet, as it has never looked this clean again

Hi X4VWC.

Thank you for your extensive input on the draws and slide out boot storage, sorry to ask another question where did you purchase the boxes.

Thanks in advance

The accessories are from www.calicap.de and are the same quality as the manufacture fittings (the drawers have VW part codes). Carpet is from Brandrup. I want to say a big thank you to the forum for all the tips and advice along the way - thank you

On my "splittie" its bills and maintenance. At least these are non essentials I guess

Well minutes after reading post 56 I was relieved of about 300 euros and am now awaiting delivery of a set of kitchen drawers!

I meant to get them ages ago and this jogged my memory.

BTW, using Chrome instead of Safari on my iPad made it really easy as the pages are automatically translated into English (that's the only time I use the Chrome browser).

I feel your pain. Minutes after post #1 I was robbed of €1254. I also use Chrome but as a matter of due course. I had wondered what the previously experienced language barriers were all about to be honest. As you say, Chrome just translates it for you automatically.

I just need to buy some euro boxes for the rear tray now. They seem extortionate in price to match what Loz has in this thread https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/dimensions-details-please.7497/page-3

Well, they're all fitted and I am extremely impressed.

Nice Cali, really like the extras. Not sure why the drawers wouldn't fit a T5 cupboard though.

So are they advertised as T6 only? The cupboards are the same, off to check as I want them in my 2014 SE

Okay, it seems to be something to do with a catch? One of the images on the page shows a catch under neither a draw which isn't present on my single OE draw but I can't see how that would cause an issue on a T5.1 compared to a T6.
Any thoughts folks?
