What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Neuromancer11]

Got myself two Campingaz 907s for a very respectable price considered how much some places are charging for an empty bottle!

 

[California Dreamer]

The little shelf above the kitchen from CampervanBits - for all those things I keep moving out of the way when camping - specs, book, watch etc, to keep the ‘worktop’ clear. Fits very easily with no fixings needed and can be left in place all the time. Happy with my purchase!

I'd buy one if I could find one!!!

I'm after a very small waterproof tent/shelter to peg outside of the van during wet spells to prevent children's wet shoes, footballs, etc finding their way in...

Any recommendations, links or suggestions please?

Thanks

How about cheap waterproof shoe bags from Amazon ?
And store underneath ?

I lost an expensive trainer after storing shoes under the van. Luckily it was found in the middle of the campsite. It had been picked up by someone’s dog!

Oh no! Must have been in contact with some meaty Boneo smell for the dog to want to play with it
I guess you could store it in future in a boot bag and stake the boot bag to the ground

Is that place just off the A75?

Yes, to the west of A75, south of Clermont Ferrand. Stopped a night at La Boutique Fotoon in Blesle then off grid to Saint Flour where we rejoined A75 south to Perpignan area. Happy days

Cheap Oxford tarps very adaptable and the size of a sandwich when in the supplied bag.
if you want to make a tent simply get a couple of adjustable tarp poles so you can make a bivy.
I added a couple of additional plastic knock in eyelets to create more securing points.







Or something like this , but takes up a bit of room and are a PITA to fold

Not sure about this. Carrying glass and paraffin (!?) in the van not great but my wife wanted it and it is German, I think, which always pulls me in.

Thanks @BeagleMum. Pictures look amazing. I think we’ve just been lucky so far the children haven’t damaged the glass so far!

Empty bottles are usually available for next to nothing on Facebook marketplace. I recently grabbed a 902 and 907 for a tenner each.

Do you have any issue with these on the 'no tents whatsoever' type of campsite? Not sure how common they are, but I've seen that rule pop up a few times recently while researching a trip.

Generally campsites with a no tent rule are complying with the licensing agreement with the Local authority.

a tarp draped over items to keep them dry is not considered a tent, particularly as no one can sleep under it in that form. Which is the key point .
if you were to make a tent out of the tarp that may be a different matter

i have had no issues while using the tarp to cover up gear stored outside

A tent could be useful for the kids shoes unless you stay at a site where there are foxes. The Abbeywood site has a warning not to leave shoes out as foxes run off with them and yes they do run off with them.
