Swiss engineering at calisolar.ch, great new spacesaver ... with a crazy Swiss price

[Waldo]

Calisolar have some great ideas and developments, but their prices are crazy...
Newest addition after the >500 euro hot water system: https://www.calisolar.ch/produkte-für-vw/zubehör/calisideboard/
Why didn't any one else came up with that idea before?

Looks good, shouldn't be too hard to DIY one!

They did. At Spacecamper.de :

I like the fine Swiss engineering for the table extension: plonk a larger flat bit of wood on top of the Cali picnic table.

I once used my varnished MDF BBQ table for the same reason, strapped with the ropes (from the 4 corners) under the pick-nick table. Definitly this HPL board has a cleaner and more durable finish. If the difference in price is worth you (295€ in stead of 20€), you could do the reverse, and just drill two little holes in this board and hang it at the rails as well. https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/thread...se-t6-ocean-interior.25087/page-5#post-303152.
But then you should live in Switzerland, Germany or Austria, the only places they seem to ship it to.

A DIY one is almost complete - so far cost less than £10, chose to use some grey floor paint we had, but its very slow drying and needs a sand before second coat so no pictures yet.

Just a taster - not quite finished yet but means we can keep shoes near the door but not trip up over them.

Plans will follow

 

[DrJuanKerr]

I’d buy one of those. Dog lead on the top shelf. Sorted.

You see a dog lead, I see a night-time tipple

The dog would drink it!

Must admit that was our thinking.

Must admit that was our thinking.

With our dog it would be a night-time topple.

Hi Calif4nia Dream. Did you get anywhere writing down the plans for your brilliant side door shoe storage thingy?

 

[Waldo]

Please, Calif4nia Dream

Hi, did you anyhow attached it to the car itself?

 

[andyinluton]

Having had to replace the sliding door lock mechanism recently, I would suggest that however it is fixed, it needs to be removable with the door shut. If not there is a possibility if the lock fails that you wont be able to get the door panel off without wrecking it.

Yes I'd love to see some plans or a template for this please.
