What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Lost Boy]

Full 5 year paint correction and ceramic coating, wasn't cheap (albeit mates rates) but giving she lives outside and gets used as a daily too, figured it will make her easier to keep clean!

 

[Hotel du van]

Really pleased with the new Spacemate drawer. Easy to fit! (My brother kindly fitted it and I watched)

 

[Robert&Catherine]

Finally got my coffee setup sorted (when on EHU)…. I can start the day with a latte…lovely stuff

 

[Do we or don't we]

and for taking the photos! Much appreciated

We also have 2 of these chairs which we love, we both think they are so much more comfortable than the VW ones which now currently reside in our loft. This means the 2 Helinox chairs fit in the right hand slot where one VW chair resided, the left hand slot then provides storage for our thermal windscreen cover. Win win (unless you need 4 chairs of course). They are also incredibly light and really easy to assemble although realistically the VW ones are quicker to put up.

That's pretty cool. Is the design (stl) available?

I think so. I don’t know anything about 3D printing but I’m pretty sure he got the design off a site called Printables.

good call - which ceramic did you get ?

We had gtechniq coating on Dizzy, looks awesome. Have it on my 911 as well and that still looks great 4 years on.

Buckled and bought an Ecoflow delta 3 to hook up to the panels.

Carbon Collective Pro Coating Molecule, I have Labcosmetica on my Lotus which is epic, we’ll see if this one is as good

It’s a good edition to carry, enabling a top up from containers.
Thanks for heads up.

Thanks to the wonderful chaps at Rose Awnings, I have a nice new 4m awning to replace the 3.5m one. Also a matching Isabella Buddy awning room.

Haha, and there was me thinking you've bought a nice yellow step ladder to reach the roof with!

Nice bags, where are they from? Do they come with the Brompton tax, need one for my G line.

Brompton storage in the van

We recently bought an inflatable kayak which now takes up the space in the boot where our Bromptons were so this forced me to consider an acceptable way to carry the bikes as well as the kayak. A couple of hours research and I found these folding case/bags on eBay for just under £20 a piece...

Thanks, I looked at them but I’ve got a G Line which has the 20 inch wheels.

Burley Bike Trailer. Here it is in use with a child sent off to fetch 50kg of water from the campsite tap, and to learn about braking early down a hill when towing a weight heavier than them.

Wolfbox mirror dash cam the 900 pro.
Fitted it myself with the hardwire kit for parking recording. Installation went well just took my time.

When the rear is fully loaded and I also have the Thule cargo box the rear view camera is a game changer.
You can raise and lower the cameras by swiping up/down on the touch screen

I got myself a projector after mulling over various options. Have to say I am very pleased with the results.

Are the Jackery’s LIFePO4 now? They used to Lithium ion which although very energy dense put me off because of the fire risk.

Indeed. LifePO4 now - far safer and more cycles too.

 

[Pitstop Penny]

We bought ourselves some bulletproof wine glasses and beer glasses.. one of those trays for the bottom of the fridge to collect water… and I’m eyeing up a few things at Ikea like they’re little dustpan and brush!

 

[Pitstop Penny]

Ooh where did you get the bike cases from please? We have two Bromptons too!
