What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Justinitus]

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

We had one of these with our small previous caravan, handy for chairs, shoes etc plus you can hang jackets inside. Not a pop-up but only 2 poles and really quick. Packs down much smaller than a pop-up. Link

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 plastic eyelets to create more securing points.

A fuse pack.

15 years and never had to touch, but seems sensible!

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

£45 from Halfords for an empty bottle!

Very similar to what we use - £50 Bike Tent from Halfords. Very quick to put up and down, packs down small enough to fit in the gap next to the sliding seat. Ideal for offloadong a load of gear - especially if you want to go off site for the day. We put a collapsible larder unit in it, along with shoes, cadac & bottle, recliner chairs etc.

Good call, £4.98 for some spares. I’ve got some spares but not all the liquorice assortment that’s in this pack

 

[chockswahay]

Ditto! Just ordered the spare fuses, thanks chaps

 

[chockswahay]

So the fuses arrived this afternoon (ain’t the internet great!)………..

They are the perfect size and even fit in the glovebox (Last set I had was a massive box that was too big to go anywhere convenient, lost them in a house move I think).

 

[chockswahay]

I actually bought these last summer but as I was checking the tyres today (when the fuses mentioned previously arrived) I was reminded how useful other peoples recommendations are ……. so if these help anyone…….

I thought manufacturers included a couple of spares in the fuse box for emergencies.

Dunno, but you can never have too many spares (unless you have a stupidly big box like I used to have )

I had a box like that too. It eventually disintegrated and the fuses were scattered to the wind. Your box looks so much more practical.

A small package arrived today from a galaxy far away !

An ingenious T6 forum member is making bespoke 3D grille name badges.

Sold - Custom Grille Badges

Well, sort of 'for sale'. I'm building slowly up to be able to make custom grille badges for the T6 and T6.1 as a hobby. The idea is that you can tell me what you want your grille badge to say, or what design you want on it, I can send you a computer visualisation to approve, then I can make it...

Hi there this looks brilliant. Could you post me as private message the details of the guy who makes these? I would love to order one for our 2022 Ocean. Many rhanks
All the best

 

[themagician]

Just bought these too.
I always think it’s better to have and never use…

Good to get a couple of Cube fuses too.

 

[themagician]

Bought (after years of deliberation) a solar panel kit from Solar Camper Solutions. With a 5% off code from Roger. Let’s hope it’s simple enough to install! (I have zero skills in things diy so watch this space!)

 

[themagician]

Also……… a couple of wks ago……… a mat from Fat Bobs Emporium……. Anyone have experience of how long delivery is?!

 

[chockswahay]

Sfunny innit? I didn’t even know I wanted a box of fuses until I saw @Lambeth Cali post

Oh no! Where from? Now you’ve started something!

Cool I thought the club discount was only for panels fitted by Roger
