What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

@Melanie Day @smilingit ,
The best way to store the external thermal windscreen is to fold it as flat possible and sqeez it inbetween one of the campingchairs in the rear ....
Think almost everyone does this .

Topper in one, screen in the other

Why spend over £300 when you can spend less than £100?

 

[Nigel Whitwood]

All I need now is a plate for the front of the seat. Ideas ?

I got them from e-bay. They are produced by Inka and I am very happy with the quality. I bought the generic Transporter version for the drivers side as its a tenner less than the California labelled version. There is no choice for the passenger side. Some of the e-bay photographs suggest that California versions are grey but they are all black.

Is that your 230v hookup cable in there to...?
If rolled properly, it will fit in the engine bay, adj the battery.

Here you go....it's soft and pliable probably still more air left in ours to squash out.b

Melamine dinner set - got it mainly for the larger bowls as we currently use bivvy tins. Looks good for melamine though.

Just look at your California from the side. You will see that the rear end is lower than the front end. This is caused by the 600 kg load you have as standard over an empty Transporter.
This causes the rear wheels to be at an angle (top inwards, bottom outwards) making the inner side of the tyres wearing faster than the rest of the tyre.
This is negative camber, and can not be adjusted. The only way would be to fit stiffer springs at the back, lifting the backside up about 3 cm.

But your idea that the rear end is lower because of the load is Incorrect. If you study the VW technical drawings for the T5/6 you would see that in fact the Wheel arch is cut higher at the Front than the Rear.
Measure the Distance from the horizontal body line to the top of the wheel arch. That distance is cams less at the Front compared to the Rear.
When loaded and driven on rough roads the Rear wheels can ride up into the wheel arches. Similarity on the Front if driving straight ahead, But if turning the Front wheels protrude outside the wheel arch and could foul the arch and cause damage thus the Front wheel arch is cut higher to enable the Front wheels to maintain this upward movement without damage.
Many, many vehicles have this same arrangement.
Lowering the front or raising the Rear to even out this difference means the vehicle will be Nose down instead of parallel to the road surface.

Still getting things together for our first week long excursion to France and passed by Ikea to spruce up the lighting inside Woody.

Little motion detector lights which are fitted on the ceiling inside the two rear cabinets.

And some colourfull dangly lights with plastic bulbs and led for around the awning.

And one of those battery powered drawer lights to be fit on the rear hatch for finding stuff at night. This was something I noticed from another member on this wonderful source of knowledge.
