Game changer. So good.

Could you provide some pics and also a short review? They are expensive so it might help me and others who are thinking of purchasing them.
For me, I’m just looking for the sliding door, middle sliding window on the passenger side and the rear boot window.

Loving the new foot stool loo box/cover!!!

Brandrup Isotop from the club shop using the VIP 10% discount code. The discount more than covered the cost of a new kitchen door handle that I also had to order as 'someone' was a bit heavy handed with the sliding doors - AGAIN!

Did you have to pay any import duty and did they charge you VAT?

Look forward to seeing some pics of the blinds themselves

 

[Wannabecamperman]

Congratulations! Would love to see them in-situ when you have a mo.

Yes, import duty was £3.73, VAT was £38.05 and then they threw in a £12 Parcel Force handling fee!

I am considering buying a Shark Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner WV200UK for the Cali for longer trips when a tiny handbrush just doesn't cut it. Has anyone tried this or other small vacuums and is it any good? Everything really has to earn it's place

We're in the market for one two.

Our research has so far has shortlisted these two:
https://amzn.to/4fWG63q - small, compact, stylish (a vacuum cleaner?!)

The other:
https://amzn.to/4fAzAiO - a bit bulkier but seems to be raved about in a couple of different car groups.

We’ve got this one at home. It’s fine for picking up the odd bit of fluff etc (normal fluff too ).

However, it doesn’t pick up very well, and for me it wouldn’t earn its place in the van.

We prefer to just lift out the mats, shake and return. Although, we do have one of those teeny-tiny dust pan and brush sets too.

Edit: We too we’re taken / taken in by reviews.

I always look at the 1 star ratings. The Gtech one only has 3%, which is really low for Amazon. Fakespot gives it an A. Not sure I would buy a product from a company called Shark!

To be fair, we have a Shark vacuum for the house and its an absolute beast. We came from a Dyson previously and in comparison, whereas Dysons are usually hyped about, the Shark actually delivers on the hype.

That said - never tried either of the ones linked - going to see what deals pop up for Black Friday.

We have this for our Ocean if it helps . ( Good deal at the moment ) Its size and shape means it can fit on the top shelf in the rear left hand cupboard and it doesn't roll around or rattle ! It was featured on one of Will and Sarahs videos on Campervan time were he interviewed the chap who designed the projector screen clips for the Cali. He had one and really liked it.
I already had some worx batteries thus I only needed the body. Works well for us and keeps our Brandrup carpet clean plus any sand that gets on the cab rubber mats if needed.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eufy-Cordless-Handheld-Ultra-lightweight-Charging/dp/B0823PB89L?tag=vwcalifornia-21

I've got this little Eufy one. Small (similar in size to a smallish drinks flask), fits easily in the bench draw and charges off USB. It's never going to win awards, but perfectly fine for cleaning up sand and similar, plus the little crevice tool is useful. I have a portable Dyson at home which I clean properly with when I get home if needed.

Listed currently at £50.00 but I paid £30 and I've seen it as low as £25.

That's really compact, as well as being a sensible shape. Picking up sand from the rubber mats is quite an achievementment too!

Usb charging would definitely be useful. Really small too. Choices, choices!

Bought some collapsable non-slip plastic containers from Tesco. I’ve never noticed them in there before but they were marked as clearance. 25p each.

Also a collapsable washing up bowl/bucket (with handles) for £1
