Like @dripster I also bought the mini table and cooker stand for my VW Beach. Ordering process from Germany was straight forward with no surprise additional custom fees.

so far really pleased. Solidly built and stable when attached.

That's saved me taking some photos! Agree these are well made, although not used them in anger yet.

My only issue is that I was thinking of also using the board on the front of the Maxxcamp unit, but it's wide enough to block the drawer opening, so may trim a bit off each end of the board. But that's specific to the way I want to use it and clearly the supplied width is a great fit in the Beach.

do the manufacturers recommend a max weight loading, these seem to rely solely the Cali panel that they clip into for support.
it looks like a great idea, just wondering what sort of combined weight you can use?

Looks great, do you have a link for this

Sorry I should have put a link in the original post. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/971...f=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1&frs=1

Bloody love my YETI’s

Picked one of these up. It's no Dyson, but pretty handy and takes up hardly any space

The little pocket on the side of the drivers seat base.holds it perfectly.

I was just going to ask that. That's where my cheap and nasty handbrush is but it's quite worn out now. I usually brush the van out down the front of my trousers so this would make a pleasant change....

I have one two. Left in rear pocket of driver’s seat so always to hand. I have the smooth wood plank flooring so. After brushing use floor wipes to keep the floor spotless.

Imagine getting this offered by candle light! :

[BrugseB]

Got another book, thanks to mum's day (don't bother to ask why I got it in the first place then ). Then this morning several new tourist brochures in the postbox. It's getting problematic, too much inspiration waiting for exploration... need to talk to my boss on short notice!

What’s a bear lock ?

 

[Tarquers]

What’s a bear lock ?

It’s a gearbox physical immobiliser that, when locked, prevents the gear shift from moving. Very popular on the continent and I hope, works!

Just treated the Cali to best part of 40 litres of shells finest V-power. Unfortunately turned out to be the 95 octane sort so sat waiting for recovery. Ho-hum

Have seen those and always thought, why would I need one?!?!? Hopefully a mistake I only make once.

Oh no! Do hope it doesn't end up too costly

Most important thing is that you realised it on time and didn't drive away.

Thanks. Have insurance from VW which includes this sort of thing. Just paid for itself I suspect.

Was just explaining to the 3 year old about how I knew the car was diesel and why it’s important to not get confused…. Ahem!

An awning room, the Thais internal insulation and a sticker. I *have* to get out in the van soon, or else I will have bought so much stuff that it will be too heavy to move... :-(

Do you have details of where you got it fitted and cost?

Mine was done by a local agent in Poland, just googled and there are a few U.K. suppliers. I paid about £180 including VAT and fitting suspect U.K. prices are significantly higher.
