Yes I got a very small one when I joined but subsequently bought two larger ones (tagged onto an Club Shop order).

130 watt portable panel, didnt want roof mounted for several reasons. Got it from amazon for 99 quid with cables and cheap controller but all works fine and managed 3.5 amps this morning in a shaded sun. Good quality build and nice neoprene bag to keep it in

How are you connecting to the van?

At the moment through a fused cig plug into the boot socket but will probably hard wire a socket in the boot directly to battery

and by using an Airsafe you can shut the tailgate without trapping the cable.

Cables not big enough to be a problen, max should draw no more than 10 amps so 1.5 should cope and just squeezes into the door seal but i like your thinkin.

First puchase for my forthcoming Coast. Essential oil nebuliser. USB charged. Battery operated. fits in the cup holders. Should work a treat to keep cooking odours at bay.

A hob heater, to compliment my underslung LPG tank and second set of worn out leisure batteries. It seems to work well so far although the trim above is getting a little hot so I’ll keep an eye on that. It also heated up my apple crumble quickly shown on top of it in the photo. (It is intended for outdoor use only, so I also have a carbon monoxide detector and vented window).

Not specifically bought for the van but I can see it coming in handy. Karcher window vac.

most useful thing we have in the van besides the kettle

Bought a Single egg boiler 56W,
hoping to somehow find a way of using it
in the van with an inverter.

I love a boiled egg.

Picture is just in case no-one has ever seen one.

Can I have one just a bit runnier?

doesn't your SE not have an inverter? 56W it will work no probs

Not yet, but it might do soon

 

[Perfectos]

Love it, you have a hob taking up a disproportionate amount of available space in the van and you need a gadget to boil an egg.

pan: water: egg

I do like a boiled egg though

 

[Californication69]

Me too. With curry flavour noodles

Do you not have the built in 150w inverter in the B pillar?

 

[andyinluton]

If you don't already have one & are retro fitting, it might be worth looking at the T6.1 version - I believe its fitted to almost all transporters not just Calis - its 300W & is fitted into the trim of the seat next to the handbrake on the drivers side on a RHD van

 

[andyinluton]

Don't you just love a delivery from the club shop, New carpets & the Isotop VI , I'm more worried about the wife finding out how much this lot was than the cost of a new van. We could have carpeted the lounge for less & I know which she would prefer.

the real question is, is the new 300W inverter pure sine or modified sine ?
As far as I know the 150W inverter in the B pillar is a modified sine one, which limits its uses but it is cheaper.

Had a promo email from Bus-Boxx this morning. Unlike Calicap, it would seem that they are still shipping to the UK?

My slide out tray was from Calicap. I did buy the Shoe Box from Bus-Boxx though.

Not T6.1 size unfortunately, just the 750mm deep.
