Easy to put the drawers in. They have a hole in the drawer on each side at the rear that locate onto metal pegs on the runners. Locate them first and then lower the front of the drawer which just clips in. (Easy to remove by releasing the front clips). Best to start the drawers from the bottom one first I found.Hello GrumpyGranddad,
thank you for the video link. I will watch it before I install the drawers. Calicap put a manual into the box which explains step-by-step of how to install it.
I believe I will have more problems to get the drawers in place after the holders are installed. But the key is to be patient. Because of this I will wait until the weather is a wee bit better.
Gives me something to do during the lockdown
The van will go to service this week Thursday. I hope I can manage to install the drawers before than. I just wanted to show the salesmen in VW the changes I added to the van.
Happy California,
Eberhard
Love this. Where was it from please?A table veneer. No more boring grey table. Going to do the other table in the same stuff. Ready to go somewhere now...

It’s gobbledegook too. Strange way to run a business ...
A website called Pixers. There are about a million patterns to choose from! They're called table veneers.
Hi RSMarco, The picture is not of mine, but of the OP who did it. His post contained details of the parts needed: quick release regulator kit, and threaded brass coupler. I’ll see if I can find it on here. Done mine, very easy. You don’t modify the original VW pipe, just remove the regulator and then refit the new one.
Sorry, I can’t find the original OPs post, but you need the regulator, quick release, and brass coupler.
Nice hack, I've wondered about charging electric bikes (mounted on the rear rack) when on hookup at a campsite... Does your charge when on hookup?
The fast charger draws 4A so it should be ok. I never use hook up but I have a small Honda generator and it works with that. Other makes may draw more current, the electric Brompton has a unique power system.
. It was tricky to open it again. I pushed the new 3x drawers further back (as much it was possible without causing damage). And now it works - just enough room for the sliding door to close.
Which wardrobe shelve kit is this? Do you have the safe?Good afternoon,
May I follow up from my recent post about the drawer kit? The weather was beautiful today so I thought I could go ahead to install it.
The installation was straight forward - yet a wee bit tricky.
I followed the information provided by the supplier on a flyer and the video. I measured the holders to line up the runner from the original drawer to the new drawers. Especially the right side it seems I came 2 or 3 mm to far forward which blocked the sliding door
For people who are interested in the drawer kit and going to buy it, please keep this in mind. I believe now it is far better to have the drawer kit a few mm to the back than to the front.
But it is done now:

In total I changed the storage space with the drawer kit (see above), shelves in the cupboard:

And a slide out drawer in the boot:

That should be enough. Have I said that, I am toying with the idea to get the Felleisen Smutje to keep all things in for the short stop (Tea, coffee, sugar, cups etc.). The reason why I still hesitate is, it is so terrible expensive (so it feels to me). But maybe Santa will come to ....
Happy California,

Thanks Eber. I thought it looked like the calitop set. So you went for three shelves with cutout. For fitting, is it free standing, or do you need to glue / screw the fittings in place? For the benefit of others, what was your mistake?Hello Rololux,
I got the shelve kit from here:
Schrankausbau 1 VW California
DAS ORIGINAL! Schrankausbau für VW California T5 / T6 / T6.1 Comfortline, Ocean und Coast. Unser bewährter Schrankausbau 1 und 3 wurde komplett überarbeitet. Die weißen Einlegeböden bestehen aus Alu-Verbundplatten (Alu Dibond) und ...calitop.eu
There are several ways to configure the shelves. At least one is suitable for the "save box" (which I have).
Ordering and shipping was ok, no problems. Installation was ok as well, but took me about an hour or so. Things have to be put together (and of course I made a bit of a mistake and had to re-do it). So far it is working well.
Regards,
Eberhard
Wooooo, that’s a posh kettle
and wine glasses too. Our tin mugs are our wine “glasses”.
Looked up the Smutje thingy. Very interesting.Good afternoon,

Do you have to cut to size?
Will you be covering the sink and cooker glass tops do you think? What is delivery time?
