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

[Jabberwocky]

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

Let us all know how you get on - I'm sure there is other interest, especially if colours are available.

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 ;-)

Well that is seriously expensive, 400€ for 1.5cm of foam? Or am I missing something?

Just bought an aluminium protector for the bumper.

Very good! How much work was it and what did you spend on the "gadgets"?

Thought about the steeringwheel change but that is for next year after I finish the house conversion.....

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.

WOW … dont like. Hope no-one was hurt …

Thank you Kmann, we were lucky or I am just a stubborn boy

Purchased two duvalays before Christmas in the sale and tried them out last weekend, we are less than impressed though as we had two very poor nights sleep as we woke in the night very hot and sweaty ( even though the heater was not on) I had read that the duvalay can make you sweat but we assumed this was just in the summer/hot weather. Not sure what else to try !

We only go with prober pillow/blanket/sheet – just like home. I works here, there and everywhere. When really hot (summer nights), just a sheet, when really cold - fire up the heater og use a woolen blanket on top. Very versatile, and actually it doesn't take up much space. Ant comfortable too. I hate to sleep in a sag or bag ;-)

With you there. Grab everything off the bed at home and throw it into a bag. It works at home, works in the Cali!

This must be the quickest way to a quiet, good night sleep!!

This week I've added a more realistic size drinks fridge. Just need to get it stocked up now. What is the payload of an SE?

 

[CaliCrazy]

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

Ooh where did you get that from. Hate getting sand/dirt in the runners! At moment I cut an off-cut of carpet to size but the edges fray after a wile.

Came from our friends in the Netherlands.
Not cheap but......

Ahh, I was a little hasty in my question! Just read the other threads. Looks good. So, what have I bought this week? I've just bought new internal silver screens as my old T5 ones don't fit the T6. Grrr... Ooh...and a new collapsible red kettle to replace the one I've had for 9 years! Daftest thing I've bought were Dory tissues from Finding Nemo because that's what our van is called! Acapulco blue, Ocean, OK...I'll get my coat now...

I was just thinking if he would like a Cali to go with that stuff!

Preferably with a hook up point to make use of the hook up cables.

And a spare wheel for the spare safe? And a roof for the bungee?

Looking at air suspension. In budget but having doubts.

And a small trailer to transport all the stuff

Could I just ask, why a 10m AND a 25m hookup cable.
I have a 10 and a 15m cable and only used the 15m cable once so far.

 

[sapto]

Some new front brakes and discs for CHF 870.-...

 

[pjm-84]

I only have a 25m. I was thinking about a 10m but based on the last two years I'm not sure I would bother.

Needed a 25m on a few sites . Eskdale, Salisbury, Bude and Northumberland to name a few.
