What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Denise Davies]

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.

Ours have been on just shy of 4 year, still as new.

Looking good - hope mine last as well as it will take 4 years for my fingers to recover!

I’ve started a family travel blog which includes travel gear reviews. A lot of which we use in our California.

I wrote a review on Sunday for a cool tripod and selfie stick that we use and is good for setting up nice photos of the van (oops I mean the family )

Just fitted Front Runner ladder making access to the roof rack easy. Treated the van to a much needed wash too!

hi the van looks great i am tempted to go the same route as you, how did you find the fitting of the ladder i guess drilling of the boot lid was a worry? Also what lift kit did you fit?

Hi, the lift kit is a Bilstein 35mm (shocks and coils). The ladder is pretty easy to fit, the assembly takes way longer than the actual fitting. I didn’t actually drill the door, there are two options for the bottom bracket, drill and screw or 3m tape, I went for the latter. I only need to access the roof occasionally and it’s pretty rock solid. The design is such that all the weight goes down and 8n so really not any force to tear it away from the door.

Top tip, don’t leave the top mounting bracket on the roof when measuring up and then drive off and run it over! I had to plead with Front Runner to sell me a replacement bracket rather than an entire new ladder!

New covers all fitted - not cheap but they are superb quality - well chuffed with them. Note - these are the new colour style with a darker middle top panel.

 

[Viktorgeorge]

Really useful hooks, clever design as a simple hook , or with two opposed hooks as a ‘closed’ hook also thirdly as a shopping bag holder by passing the plastic handles through the centre hole and looping over.

Ollie, who makes these, says they are also available in grey, and his website will be updated shortly.

HandyHook Coat Hook - 1 pair

This HandyHook Coat hook is designed to slip onto the headrest post of a T5 / T6 VW Transporter. Also useful to hang other items such as caps, hats or lightweight bags. When two are used together it creates a clip to hold things securely whilst on the move. Also fits T3 (T25), T5.1, T6.1...

Changed the wheels and a set of Agilis crossclimates then slept in it.

Marvel mats from Dunelm. 2 x 50 x 150cm mats fit really well. Cut down to size with enough left over to cover the centre section between the seats.
Colours not to everyone’s tastes but I said my 8yo son could choose as I dragged him to the shop against his will!

 

[$l@k!]

A little carwash "spoiler" for the awning... No more drying sausages stuck in there.

They look great - do they just stack one on the other to pull the bed out? And is it just the length that you have to cut to get them to fit?

Maybe a stupid question, but self-made (3D printed?) or from MyCalifornia.eu?

I bought 2 extra wide runners for mine. I put tape on the runners where the seat moved furthest forward to. Then placed 1 runner to the left . I think it fitted exactly to where the seat is when furthermore back.
The next runner goes over the trim that holds the cab carpet to the living area flooring.
Because they are rubber backed, they trim easily with a Stanley knife and with scissors without fraying. They also wash well in the washing machine.

Clicky

2x changing robes (aka fake dry robes) from Regatta currently at 50% off so £59.95 each with free p&p - so £100 each cheaper than a DryRobe! - plus another 20% off if you have a Defence Discount Card, or 10% extra off if you sign up for emails. Absolute bargain I reckon.

I went for the large/extra large size and it is massive! Fully fleece lined and very warm. Also available without the graphics of you prefer.
