What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

They are pretty good at delivering to the UK. Having purchased a fair amount of kit from them I’ve worked out the best way is to keep the order below €150. I’ve never paid any extra fees doing that and it’s actually cheaper to make seperate orders and pay double delivery than to say order two shelves at the same time! They generally deliver within a week.

Excellent thanks for the information do you have the shelves?

I have the shelves (they are great, almost worth the money!). I use them exactly how you suggested, tea/coffee kit etc. I also have the bin and it’s also where I got the molle panels and rails that I use for my maxtrax etc. They are excellent quality and much cheaper than the Hess and Terranger versions.

Today this: about 80 euros and tricky installation because of position b ut helped with a silicone spray.

After pondering for a while and working through the wish list, we eventually got around to fitting a new (to us) isotop vi.
We have used a topper and a wrap so far (both have advantages, plenty of threads already on those), but since we expect to be touring Europe this year, and because I want to be able to use the windows and vents, it seemed a worthwhile investment.
The previous owner was kind enough to supply most of the fitting kit & I had some wide heavy duty velcro left over from a previous project. This saved me having to spend £68 (!) on a new fitting kit. I managed by purchasing 10m of 10mm (1cm) wide adhesive 'loop' tape (I didn't need the other half of the 'hook and loop' / velcro as the 'hoop' strip is part is pre-fixed to the isotop). I didn't need it all in the end. I also bought some 'adhesion promoter' wipes, all in for about £15. All good so far. Pondering whether to keep the other roof insulation 'just in case'.

Bit of a over indulgence for a van hoover but I like how compact it is and storage for the end bits - wasn’t paying £110 but £74 today with batt&xharger - now just need the bloody van! C955B40F-486E-4D5A-AFB3-AED944ECB9EA.png
 
We bought one of those as one of our first items before getting the van too! Fits perfectly in the rear locker and is a great little vacuum.
 
I have one of these too, also useful for vacuum bags to shrink your bedding and also to extract the air from your mattress in seconds!
 
I seem to have been on a never-ending spending spree of late, I swear it would be cheaper to redecorate and furnish the house……

I’ve used the power station but haven’t unpacked the solar. I doubt 120w will be much use in Scotland but it was only an extra £50 for the panel.

I was a bit wary of buying unbranded electrical goods but I’ve seen a few people use them here and elsewhere. Whats the worst that could happen…..

Thais insulating top top liner. I’m sure Brandrup are fantastic but I couldn’t stomach the difference in price. Quite easy to fit but the supplied instructions were useless, even with google translate and ironically it was the Brandrup video on YouTube that answered all my questions.

I think this is the covers I’ve ordered. Compared to some UK suppliers, Ukatex seem like a bargain. Hopefully the quality is up to scratch. It took a while to get the order processed but hopefully here in a week or so.

I also got a portapotti, case and the chemicals and bog roll. I haven’t plucked to the courage to use it or even take it out of the box.

addictive isn't it !
 
I thought we had everything we needed in our previous Cali - but since purchasing new Cali, unfortunately, we've come across a few bits that we now decide we could do with and why didn't we do previously

I have one of these and it’s great. You can buy worx “compatible” batteries that are way cheaper and likely come from the same Chinese factory anyway….
 
E scooter for my euro trips packs so small massive range fits in the boot flat against the rear seat loads of power for hills ,no bike rack needed which allows for more off track fun In the Cali

That looks like another thing I need and didn’t know I wanted! ……… when will it end? ;)

Hi, are these legal in Europe? I don’t think they are officially in UK although you obviously see people on them. This would be a good alternative to bulky bikes.

That looks awesome! Exactly what I've been looking for, but only ships in the UK? No possibility to ship to Switzerland? First world problems...
