What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Algor]

Bought the 18" Sportlines last week but fitted today.

Internal front blinds.
Love the colour, they match my seat covers. Looking into getting one for the sliding door too as I find the pull down blind annoying.

They look great, where did you get them from?

 

[tedgina]

And what is your opinion please?

cannot vouch for those but have had many a good night sleep in a tent using therma rest matts not had to use them in the Cali as it is comfy for us

Inka waterproof seat covers in dark grey. £120 from Inka on eBay. Arrived this morning and took about 30 mins to fit. Quite impressed at how well made they are.

Hello
We ordered a coast at the end of August 2020 and received a delivery time in May 2021 (now maybe one month earlier due to the cancellations I read about?). Anyway, plenty of time to think about what we want and order it. What has already been delivered:

• bags for the wardrobe (2 large and 1 smaller for the space of the safe as we do not need a safe) & drainer / tray (both campervanshop.eu),
• base for the porta potti & poptop thermal isolation (both Thaissl.com),
• rain poncho for pop-top roof (poptopshop.nl),
• VanEssa window bag (second-hand from Germany),
• Some clever stuff from BigTedPrintz including his California rail bracket kit.

What esle to buy: Brandrup secondskin seat covers and some things from Thaissl.
Now just wait the delivery of the coast to put it all in and up.
Greetings

Received and fitted Thule xt3 bike carrier today. Great piece of kit: solidly built, easy to fit, easy to tilt and easy to remove. As it arrives in the 50 degree tilt angle it just takes a couple of minutes to alter to 70 degree tilt and then the tailgate clears it by a mile! Can recommend.

Ours arrived yesterday, weeks before our van will. But saw prices increasing so went for it.

Nice. You won't be disappointed. I would add that you won't need any kind of adaptor as the carrier is supplied with an 8 pin plug and this allowed all lights to work (including reversing light). Also good to know that the alarm was triggered successfully when the plug was pulled after setting the vehicle alarm.

rain poncho for pop-top roof (poptopshop.nl),

Hmmm. That site is still selling Christmas presents in February...

Nice start to the day. It’s my birthday and my wife got a cake to match Eva made to celebrate. Will try a short drive out today as she has not been out of the garage since January 17th.

To the rest of you, keep going and look for small happy moments to get you and your loved ones (vans included) through these troubled times

There was a delay on mine because they got stuck in transit I think due to Brexit but communication was good and Stefan very helpful.

Thanks @RikFizz , I was wondering about the electrics...

Bought this as an alternative to a speaker for our son. He loves it. Works of grid and there are diff stories to take with on ou next trip.

What a fabulous idea. Had to look it up to find out about it. Great solution for little ones and off grid use too, brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

 

[paradise city]

Parcel shelf mattress protector from the club shop.
Perfect fit.
A little lighter shade of grey than the Inka waterproof seat covers but I'm not too worried about that!

We used it a couple of days now, it is great let's say for younger kids and when you do not want to have them stare at a screen 24/7. Also great zo combine it with books.
Cons: It is limited as a speaker as there is only input with the "figure" although there are some BT dongles.
Pros: There are some "creative - tonies" to upload your own music/stories or create a audio book for your kids.
