What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

Ive been busy… bought a Fogstar 230ah battery and fitted under the drivers seat. The cables/connectors all wrapped up fit neatly along one side of the battery and a Victron 15a mains charger fits on the other side. It can be charged while on hookup, but it’s also permanently connected to the Delta 2 if it needs a top-up. No DC-DC charger is installed yet…

I used 3 ratchet straps to keep the battery in place as per @Shadrack ’s idea, but may design some brackets at some point. The ground stud was left in place but shortened to allow room for the battery height. It’s going to be used primarily to run my Indel B fridge and should easily last 2 weeks between charges.

and for taking the photos! Much appreciated
We also have 2 of these chairs which we love, we both think they are so much more comfortable than the VW ones which now currently reside in our loft. This means the 2 Helinox chairs fit in the right hand slot where one VW chair resided, the left hand slot then provides storage for our thermal windscreen cover. Win win (unless you need 4 chairs of course). They are also incredibly light and really easy to assemble although realistically the VW ones are quicker to put up.
