What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Californication69]

Door locks will not do via control panel.
Driving me crazy.
Yes button on the dash to stop / stop start.
But want it off. Full stop

Telling me to reset my infotainment.
What a pain in the rear.
The auto lock doesn’t work in Carista either.
Might be something to do with my ghost, I’ll ask my installer Lee…

 

[CaliTraveller]

May I ask where you bought these two boxes? It looks very good.

We bought them on bol.com but I would imagine you can get them in the UK at different places https://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/

Love these. Was the only reason I wanted a white California.
Looks great on your grey.
I wonder what colour decals would work on black

 

[CaliforniaSeb]

Thanks.

I sent Beatnik Decals a photo of my van. They help design the decal and sent me back images with the various designs/colours superimposed on the photo of my van. That is a photo of what it will look like. Waiting for decent weather to put them on. The great thing is you get to see what looks good on your van.

Hated that the power socket plug had a smoking cigarette on it so replaced with this from Etsy, and while there got a neat coat and hat hook that fits on the headrest.

My van was supplied with a VW torch that plugs into the cigarette lighter.

Same but I don't like to leave it it. By default it has a 1970's heater plug with a cigarette on it.

Have left the torch plugged in since i’ve had the van (29 months). Is it unadvisable?

No idea tbh but don’t like the idea of something that could be a power draw permanently plugged in. TBH I’ve never really given it more thought than that.

35mm lowering springs - supplied and fitted by SMG Tonbridge, very happy with the results…

Just in case it takes them a while to see your question, I just did a search on Really Useful Boxes 64L and found them

£27.58 for 1x64l +3 smaller boxes in store at Costco if you are a member.

After years of abuse from visits to the tip I finally got myself a bumper protector. Bargain too as the company are local so I just called in to pick it up.

Nice - seems to fit just right and fully across the bumper - could I ask which make this one is?

Seat covers from the shop. A faff to fit but well worth the effort.

Picked up our SpaceMate from Simon today.

The V2 is spot on so far and will drop a review and more detailed pics on the SpaceMate thread.

Excellent piece of kit and fits the PP335 perfectly.

Ok … this one might raise some eyebrows!!

Getting ready for the new camping season I’ve stocked up on new underwear. These Rohan boxers are great as they are so easy to wash. They are lightweight and comfortable and they have certain other ‘aroma benefits’ compared with other pants and View attachment 105914it means that I take less with me too

It’s 3 exficcio ones for me for 10 weeks away….dry overnight hanging from the ceiling!
one to wear with pjs too….

Snap - just ordered the same today for our Coast. Can finally ditch the practical but ugly waterproof covers!

Good luck with the fitting! If you have a Beach, I’d recommend ignoring the bench seat instructions if there were any!

Also I bought a trim removal kit from Amazon for about a tenner - we’ll worth it.

Cheers - I aready have trim tools - and a good mate who runs a coach building company if I get stuck! Might book a day off work and just take my time - no point rushing it and messing up...
