What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[acer]

I was tempted to get the little customized rubbish bin sold by campercentrum outside Amsterdam, the one that fits between the kitchen unit and the passenger seat, when I was there a few weeks back. But it just seemed crazy to spend 70 euro or whatever it was they wanted for it.

I picked this up yesterday at The Range in Edinburgh. It fits perfectly. I fold the hinged lid back and slide it in. Handy to have an open basket for throwing things in, but you can also pop the lid up and on if you want for travelling or carrying it somewhere to dumb.

(I bought the darker one, but the lighter one with a different label seems to be identical except for the colour.)

Looks good! Would like to see a pic of it in place in your van?

if you can overlook the fact I desperately need to hoover the van, here you go!

Pop top bin from ikea is a good solution. Fits the space and a quick press and the lid opens for your tea bag drop.

I like to be able to throw things at the bin from a distance, no pressing needed. Perhaps explains the state of my van though.

Probably one of the smallest accessories one can buy and install. What a nightmare, but luckily there is a very good and helpful thread here to aid.

Looks great, please may I ask where you got it?

From a German website https://adventure-van.de/ (I live in Germany). The water cannister is also from them. I made the ramp clamp with various odds and ends I had in the garage.

These are excellent. I have one I bought from Morrisons. Think it was £9 or £10. Tested it at home and it doesn’t stick.

I have the larger one at home and no they don’t stick. Great for cooking eggs.

Yes, us too - it’s a decent brand. But steady guys! Is it actually legal to endorse anything but ridge monkeys on here?

It’s ok I’ve ordered one today

 

[Polomint]

My ridgemonkey hinge broke on first use- so yes an endorsement of a good product is always welcome.

But the detachable hinge is a key selling point

The buttons are absolute rubbish. Worthless on two of mine!

And they don’t advertise it’s “retachable”, do they?

Had mine replaced as one failed on first use.

I don’t understand the love for ridgemonkeys. It’s ok but nothing more.

I think I’ve got the old fashioned variety, with fixed handles. We use them a lot for making toast and as an oven, by flipping them every minute or so on a low heat. We’ve also cooked very carefully pre-cut pizzas etc. They definitely earn their space in our van. I was thinking about upgrading to the detachable handle variety, but I might have been put off now!

The replaced ones have been fine in fairness.
