What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[The Merle]

Finally dug out the Cali table I want for my westy and covered it with pixer picture.

I treat Amarillo to premium diesel after every AdBlue refill. 13L of AdBlue was under £13. The diesel over 10x that price!

Just filled up here, the basic stuff, range was down to 30km left - £68 good job as I’m only getting a rather frightening 15-18mpg - short trips up steep hills and hairpin bends, not good for economy.

Looks like a nice bit of kit. How do you fit it? Do you need to remove the trim by the roof, or does it just slot in?

Just slots in easy

Replacement Westfield Pro windbreak after my last one, purchased two years ago to the day and used once, was eaten during lockdown by a rat faced visitor to my garage. No more Mr Ratty, you’re not welcome anymore.

I think they are fantastic, comfortable and well built, and great that they fit in the tailgate, only have one chair (as well as the two Cali chairs) and the gas struts cope with it, not sure how they would cope with two chairs in the tailgate think they might struggle in colder weather, anyone tried two with the Cali chairs ?

Just had 2 of these delivered, really impressed with the comfort and quality and great that they fit in the tailgate. With theses + the 2 cali chairs + bike rack the tailgate just about stayed open yesterday. Pretty sure that when the temperature drops it won't stay up without a bit of "pumping".
I have the 1250nm struts so might try swapping for the the 1270nm ones

Makita tool set to keep in the van for whenever it's needed.

I'd 'adopted' my son's kit for the last 18 months, so thought it about time I returned it and bought my own!

The other advantage is this one is not made of something with the same qualities of playdough.

A rare summer weekend at home, so took the opportunity to introduce some of our summer purchases.

We’ve spent quite a bit of time on hook-up this summer, and realised how much quicker an electric kettle is. I bought the foldable Outwell kettle from the Club Shop - not having clocked that it was not electric. Then I bought the Quest foldable electric kettle.



So now we have two space-efficient kettles, both of which are better than our old metal kettle which took an age to boil, took up a lot of space, and was hard to gauge how full to fill it.

Much as we love our California, the interior does feel a bit grey and soulless. So we took inspiration from others on the forum and picked up some Marvel Mats (two 150cmx50cm mats go side by side in the back) from Dunelm. Great value - and easy to cut to shape. We also bought some nice cushion covers to spice up the back and to add extra pillowage upstairs at night (which we found really improve a night’s sleep).

Yes @Trudi. It was reading posts from you and @Elly Swanson that inspired us!

Was worried about whilst parked up, losing things in the gap at bottom of windscreen, so bought this.

Thought about the gap filler, but needed somewhere to store phones pens, sudoku, and dirty cups, this fulfils our needs

From the village we were staying in, to one of our favourite restaurants was 36km and a 45 minute drive, in manual mode 2nd & 3rd gear for almost all of it, not a single straight bit of road for miles, all zig-zagging up and down the hills. Made your typical Highland single track road with passing places feel like a motorway.

Not a purchase, but another DIY special. Fed up with the Stoplock Pro rattling around every corner. Have tried it for a month, and the felt underneath means it doesn't move at all even under braking or rough roads.

New Wine Glasses.:Summit Pop space saving.

One of the old ones finally succumbed after many many years of use, (that fact I put my foot on it Hastened it departure)

we store these for travelling, in suitable size Mugs which makes further use of a potential wasted space. (hanging strap discarded)




Edit :

edit: available from the Range via post. (not currently in store) £4.99 per pair, random colours will be dispatched. Supplied in pairs postage is about £3.95 regardless of amount ordered.
