This week I've bought '________' for my Cali

[Kmann]

Ahem … Order this: https://shop.vwcamper.de/schlafkomfort/199/calibed-roof
Actually we got the foam in the original matress changed after only one sleepover as I remember. And we were quite satisfied. But one can always find room for new stuff. I guess this will be awesome ;-)

Wrapped the body, cover for the roof, rubber mats for the front, carpets for the cabin and load area, seat covers, protectors for the sills, covers for the work tops, mats for the steps, inserts for the pockets for the doors, protector for the wardrobe, covers for the mattresses, steering wheel cover, Dyson cordless vacuum, antiseptic wipes. Have I missed any other essentials for my roughty-toughty activity vehicle?

Good haul @BillyCasper! Look forward to seeing some pics.

British economy? More likely I'm helping the German.

I'll take some pics when I've taken all the covers off or you won't recognise it. I suspect the main cover is going to be good old earth.

Indeed and I was a bit lazy buying this item from the good folk in the Netherlands but it folded very well and also gave the benefit of a "dirt lip" against the sliding seat/bed when being used with either item - simple but clever.

Think this looks excellent! I have been hoping for some blue stripey carpets to appear in the shop but think this might be a good alternative. Do you find that when folded your feet get caught in the folded bit? Guess it would only be when travelling with the seat right forward.

Very snazzy! Could you let me know where you got it please?

No pockets on your trousers? Will there be room for you in the magic Bus? More importantly will it move!

A collapsible water carrier

Lovely. A bit pricey but worth it for the great design.

And for those who have dreamed up other uses than as a water carrier, 9L is the exact same capacity as 12 bottles of Chateau Haut Brion to quaff with your bacon and egg breakfast.

Your right - normally the carpet is unfolded and therefore no problem. Only folded in bed or extra space transport mode (fully forwards) so not really a problem. Better for bare feet too. I managed to get a toe caught in one of the rails when we hired a T6 Cali last year.

Only money i spent on the Cali since a few months is renewing the insurance policy.....not been out to play since november.... very cheap on fuel while sitting in the garage doh!

This week I bought a new friend for my Van/Cali because I had to replace his former friend - gone in a bad accident...He protected us well and brave.

As a result no money left for some Van-things.

Currently having a coffee break from fitting my flat bottom MFSW with DSG paddles and footwell lights.

Typical Saturday with the van in bits...

 

[Velma's Dad]

Just ordered an easy-folding (I hope) dog crate. The soft fabric/mesh type. We've been using one of the rigid wire frame kind, but it's faffy to fold up and stow away whenever we want to sleep downstairs (pooch is delighted with that arrangement, obv.).

 

[ejmoore]

Finally spent the money getting the earth shunt fixed, so we can keep warm in the van without a hookup. No money for any extras now!

Do you take it on the Plane, Train and Ferry? They all store their water in tanks.

Brandrup rear boot carpet and one of these for the passenger area (help stop the guides getting full of dirt/sand etc)

I am so jealous of that carpet. I can't convince OH to spend the cash so today went to carpet shop to get one made and wrapped at the edges specially. Sad aren't we.

Have you taken delivery of this mat @Jabberwocky ? Good?

Yes, delivered and waiting my Cali arrival now! Very similar quality as Brandrup if not slightly better. It is certainly of thicker material except at the folds as you would expect. Edge binding is of good quality too. Here's the sad bit.....even did a bare foot test, yep all is good, no nasty cold rail shocks or holes to get your little toe stuck (happened to me last summer in a hire van). So, yes a little expensive but so far all is good.

No not sad, fruggle maybe, but how did you manage the folds? In the item I bought the folds are of slightly thinner material so the carpet folds at predetermined points. Please don't post the price you paid - I don't like getting upset...

It's not made yet so not sure. Carpet man is discussing the idea with the lady who wraps.

'Nothing' for the first time in as long as I can remember. I am however considering a drive away awning for those longer breaks where we just want to pitch up once and be able to go out further afield for the day.

I too am finally able need 'nothing'....that is, until I saw the daisy tent pegs on the VW club shop.....!
