If you didn’t eat so many tomatoes, you wouldn’t need so many toilet rolls !

 

[Goss]

Pop up toilet tent, awning tie down kit and spare gas cylinder full of gas, even excited at that arriving!

I'd be keen to learn more about this 'protective' film, as I was really keen on speccing this flooring option. Can I ask what your thoughts on this are? Do you think the film was just in place for shipping and was always meant to be removed at some stage to reveal the 'real' product beneath. Or do you get the feeling that you have now been forced to remove this film to breath another life into the floor but now have reduced protection and despite looking lovely now, could deteriorate further & sooner. It looks lovely but would be loathed to spend the £500 if it is far easier marked than the standard floor. Would be keen to know your thoughts. Thanks.

It is the shipping film. It’s not on the left and right of the middle T Tracks. And was an inch in from all sides, if that makes sense. So just the VW PDI crew being lazy and not removing it.
The actual floor looks like wood covered in some very thin almost rubberised layer. I had a stone stuck in my trainer and I heard it scratch across the floor as I was putting stuck behind bench seat.
thought that’s the first deep scratch. Not a mark. Felt it all over and nothing. So I think it’s going to be an awesome floor

Thank goodness for that. Looks stunning and an expensive upgrade, so needs to hard wearing. Glad all is well now. Thanks for replying.

Yep it’s a shipping film. I have ordered it for my Cali for one good reason, apart from it looking amazing, with it being smooth it will be easier to keep clean as the dog hairs will wipe off it easily. Original knobbly rubber flooring might be harder to keep clean.

Not sure who I saw had done this, but ordered some grey outside, silver inside 4” ducting, and ducting clips. Got the two 4” round to square plastic ducting from toolstation. Connected up and it’s blowing hot air upstairs now. Great idea. Thank you.

... a question of priorities in the essentials. Thought I knew you better VD.

Set of awning Tie Down.But I’m sure the hole is meant to be facing front and back in the awning leg. (Top of awning leg)
It’s facing left and right in both legs ?
This isn’t correct is it ?
Anybody got a picture of their legs please Awning legs I mean



these are my legs, when extended fully, the latch latch’s, but the legs just slide back in to the holders. So they’re never going to hold the weight of the end of the awning when fully extended ?

They point up to lock

Thank you, I’ll try it.

They feel flimsey but appear to be ok, it doesnt look right and are a little tight to push up.

They do feel flimsy, but do lock well. Not seen any reports of them breaking.

They’ll feel like they’re going to break, but they won’t

Your joking. Apart from checking fluids every 2 weeks, tyres monthly and washing it with Simonize Wash n Wax every 6 to 8 weeks. I just use it all year round.

DSG and cambelt service (found it "interesting" the physical cambelt and physical DSG oill cost about the same)

After having to spend £226 on a new oil temp sensor replaced after suspected rodent damaged( teeth marks on cable) we have bought this. Then soaked some clothes and placed them on the two front wheels Just trialling this as a deterrent
