What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Jabberwocky]

Latest delivery from Europe! Just trying to get rid of a few niggles before we head off on our tours.
A handy waste bin and a trivet for the bottom of the fridge (to avoid wet and soggy stuff).

Where did you get the plastic for the fridge and how much was it ?
I was thinking of cutting up some cheap paint roller grids to fit.

Oh, and you know that 5 second rule when you drop some food on the floor, well
i wouldn´t risk it on yours. lol.

I'm guessing that paint roller grids will work but I needed something more "formal" so went to Camper Centrum in Amersfoort. Rather expensive but removed niggle at €24. (Its rather annoying actually - rattles like crazy unless fridge is loaded. Sister in law says she has seen something at B&M for more suitable (and cheaper!!) and will buy me one - will post photo when arrives.
Oh, and we don't have a 5 second rule we just leave it there!! lol! . Yes, I know my Cali needs a vac.

A handy waste bin

By coincidence, we bought this for that space the other day; not as good as yours. Then yesterday I found we had one the same in the garage! Ridgemonkey fits behind.

I think maybe we have the same mat as you, you can see a little bit in the bottom of the pic!

I never use the 5 second rule rule...
I've got a 1 second dog.

A handy waste bin

Loving the bin if it's mould is purposely shaped.
Is it just the photo or is it shaped to fit and where did you get it?

Purpose moulded and again from CC at Amersfoort. €24.95 a tad pricey but hey it's a £55k van!!

Yes, we have exact the same carpet (from Dunelm) as you (. Under bench drawer opens without carpet removal and is rubber backed so the very expensive Brandrup cabin carpet stays nice and dry!

Have both and they are brilliant. The bin makes me smile every time I look at it - worth every penny of the inflated price! I keep my kettle and phone charger in it when travelling.

Bought a few things in the last couple of weeks, couldn't resist this solar flower, makes me smile every day.
Now the weather has improved we are using the van a lot more for camping , I've been buying bits and pieces as I find I need them. Robert Dyas have a 15% off offer running this week so I bought boring but useful things: potato peeler, the OXO mini dustpan and brush, a bin, mini salt and pepper set.
Have also bought the awning tie down kit and some rock pegs for camping and ordered the Cinch pop up Hub a few weeks ago -really excited about that

You need a Bill & Ben to go with that!

For knees that are not getting any younger........! (And a useful lift for putting bikes on the Kylie rack)
We used to use a folding plastic step, you know the one you can get from anywhere for £6 which is a bit slippy when wet and if you use on uneven ground it snaps a corner and is then scrap.

We found this the other day.....£30.

Its aluminium (2.5kg) with folding legs and anti-slip black treads.
I included the photo of the step folded just to give an idea of how it folds up. (I'm sure it won't sit there when we travel).

Not bought today, but got round to fitting it today. A new 110W ETFE solar panel from Roger Donoghue.



The leisure battery was fully charged so I plugged in the fridge and it jumped to 4.1A and 60W.



Hopefully never need hookup again!

Is that a purpose built support for the awning? If so, how much and where from?
Has anyone got any good feedback on them?

It's not purpose built. It is made by Fiamma but it just about fits the Cai Thule awning. Some folks have bought a more expensive version that is curved to help manage pooling. There is another thread that you may like to look at more dedicated to this subject. https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/fiamma-curved-rafter-pro.22688/
Cost? £33. Where from? Any good Fiamma stockist.
