What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Maidment_Ocean]

I had the Brandrup water filler set with hose and hanger which was expensive and in my opinion not very good. The plastic foldable carrier split after only a year of gentle use. So with the help of this lovely boutique piece of kit I can invest in a better water carrier and get all the water in the van not over my feet! I can’t quite remember where I first saw it, facebook maybe? Thanks to Paul and Chrissy for their great product and speedy delivery

A gift. Will try out next week!



A good gift.

Oh and after a spate of car thefts where I live.

A shame but seems a good idea.

Water Tank Filler Funnel

WE ARE AWAY FOR THE WINTER UNTILL MIDDLE OF MARCH. This is for all those people I see fighting with a flexible funnel in one hand and a container of water in the other. This will hopefully make the whole water filling job a lot easier. 3D printed in...

[Californication69]

Yes; I somehow qualify for the UK rural offer despite having more than adequate fibre to the door £99 for the equipment

Just checked and yep, I can get it for £99, and £75 a month. (I live in downtown West Midlands and no where near Rural!)
I pay £44 a month for VM 350mb down and 35 up. So think I’ll stick with fibre for the time being….

I don't seem to be able to purchase it or message Paul and Chrissie. Do you have to pay to be a member of Motorhomefun to be able to buy?

 

[sagy]

Could someone please post a link for this funnel from any eu shop?

I can second that these funnels from Paul & Chrissie are really good, and easily bought via their email.

I'm just buying the hardware, switching it to roam and suspending the service until needed

Now that is a clever idea !
Will it work in the EU, with no roaming charges? Or does it have to stay in UK ?

Roam is good on the same continent, while global roam is good everywhere there is service (and more expensive).

The roam hardware is £300 to use on the roam package.
Or are you buying the £99 hardware and going to use it on the roam package ?

The roam hardware is a dish for flat mount (for the roof of the van) but yes you can use the £99 hardware and have a roam package

You can but it is expensive as stated

Think I’ve read £85 for roam for the month?
Only problem is if I fly somewhere, not going to want to pack starlink up in my suitcase !
Think I’ll leave it for 10 years until I retires.

 

[johnyboy]

£85 in the same country... £200 abroad

installed a second safety lock switch at the sliding door so that we can lock the door from behind.

You have done a great job there, I like that.

Out of interest, if you got out the vehicle and accidentally hit it, would it lock you out?

it won't lock you out, you can (when it's locked) open the sliding door as normal and leave the van, the sliding door wil stay unlocked, the other doors stay locked.

Where did you get this done please?

It’s a cracker of a mod.

The frame of the switch was made by my youngest son with the 3d printer.

A gray frame was supplied with the switch, which was not very nice.

WHAT HAVE YOU BOUGHT FOR YOUR CALI TODAY ?​

A Maypole winter cover.

It's the same every year at this time. Our numerous local feathered friends gang up to spend much of their time covering anything and everything we own in Sh1t. Frankly, I am more than a bit miffed. Firstly, I am fed up with cleaning their mess off of our vehicles and everything else. Secondly, Mrs B insists on feeding the little feinds and this is all the thanks we get.

Also bought another cover for Mrs B's car. That's a convertible and bird lime is a devil to get off the roof.

Alternatively a funnel and some cord with a knot in to slide into the awning channel. £5~
