So the journey begins..

In it's bag it is small enough to fit into one of the chair pockets in the tailgate.

Yes, if you squeeze the air out of the bag, its a bit like a duvet jacket in a stuff sac.

Did you mean the extra drawers?

And your topper can fit nicely into the other chair pocket.

Do you mean without the chairs in there? I can't seem to get my topper or screen cover in there or am I not trying hard enough?

They fit nicely each inside a chair

@Loz I like your customizing and your Cali looks great!

Looking forward to the picture once fitted. Always wondered about the wheel arch trim so will be interested to see how they look and how easy to fit. Keep us posted...

You can't have the fog lights on without the headlights as the mechanical operation of the switch prevents it.

Are you sure?

On my 2010 I can switch off the headlights and only have the front fogs on with the side lights, another pull gives you the rear fogs in addition.

What I can't do on mine is have the rear fogs on without the front fogs.
VW may have changed the switching around on later models.

Hi Loz
Just wondering re the service on your above items (pull out rear draw) I ordered from VWCAMPER.DE set on Friday and apart from e-mail saying order place no contact or reply to e-mails asking about their shipping process.
How long did your order take and what contact tracking did they give you. Thanks

Ordered on the 7th parcels arrived on the 12th no shipping info. The day they arrived I was about to chase for shipping info when they turned up so, pretty fast delivery..

 

[phillme]

hi loz ... any update on the fitting of the wheel arch protection ?

 

[andyinluton]

I'd like to see the arch protectors fitted as well, however i'm not convinced that there is sufficient space for the sliding door to clear the rear one on that side. I presume standard transporter door trims are a lot thinner.

 

[Loz]

They are the standard Transporter ones, but I haven't had a warm enough day yet to fit them.
Hoping to do this next month when we get a nice hot weekend.

I've just bought one of these trays. Game changer for me. Such a shame it arrived with a bit broken especially considering the price!

Really? What was broken, not a lot to break..

The left locking mechanism, holds the spring in place. We took a picture will post tomorrow. They are sending a whole new slide out. Quick service really impressed with these guys.

So easy to load the rear up.

 

[Loz]

Made a slide mount to hold our freezer in the back for longer trips.
Machined some hexagrip and added a couple of T clamps.

Steels are now at the power coaters... Tyres arrived yesterday..

Look good. I'm presuming your getting these as an all season tyre and will use them as your winter tyres on the steels.
As I have storage issues I'm still in the wait and see what I need camp but like the idea of a set of steels.

As it was warm Saturday I put the wheel arch trims on...

I think the part number has not changed since the T5..

That's interesting, though I have a 2004, so it may be not the same as a 5.1. Something to look at though, looks great.
