Cali Home Office

I got fed up working in the house yesterday so spent the day using my beach as an office, it's actually pretty good. I've got the multiflex out so the rear seat is slid right back and the 2nd row of seats are both turned around with one folder to act as a table. It's also on a hook up lead to...

Very similar set-up here. I find the passenger seat really comfortable, sometimes spending the whole day sitting in it!

Why not plug in the EHU rather than put a cable in the window? Then your van battery gets a charge too

Plus in the EHU then, I agree with you on the passenger seat too!

You will need one of these, ideally with a long lead so it
reaches the socket in the garage.

it’s damned heavy and awkward with the hinges but if you slide the bench forwards and undo the two turn fasteners you can free the bench from its rails, move it forward and carefully turn it sideways before removing it via the back door. I’ve started leaving it removed as you can slide the bench right back and have more room inside when not camping.

Better still if you can get your company to contribute towards your office accommodation!

I reversed close to the house so can piggy back on it, good luck !!

I use the Cali to do Zoom calls with my class of reception children this week I had my phone balanced on the upturned washing up bowl while I demonstrated how to make a caterpillar that you could blow across the table! Next week a bug hotel!
