What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[WelshGas]

Are you happy with them?
Did you appreciate the increased noise?

Very happy. Quieter than the Goodyear All Seasons and improved fuel consumption by about 1.5 - 2 mpg.

4 Michelin Cross Climate tyres. Last set have clocked up 30,000 miles and now on 4mm exept NSF which is on 3.8.

I see some are fitting Cross Climate SUV. Are yours SUV? I'll be fitting Cross Climates soon, interested to know the differences/advantages/disadvantages.

I put MICHELIN AGILIS CROSSCLIMATE, they are spcially designed for vans, reinforced for the weight

my better half has added this to my Xmas list and its got me all excited. Apparently there is an LED kit for it too?

Yep! There’s a not official kit

I do like my Cross Climates. Van feels more stable especially in the wet - hope they last me that long!

Where did you buy your cross climates from? I can't find any with correct load rating ?

Local Tyre garage - he ordered them in. They’re not cheap and certainly have a unique sound but had them about 12 months now. No issues.

Ok, thanks.

Not so much bought, as made. I followed in many owners' footsteps and build both a slide-out for the back of the van and a shelf for over the kitchen. Never worked with metal (aluminium) before, but am happy with the results.

That looks fab ThomasHJ
Are the guides screwed to the floor?
Did you purchase the guides and rollers, or make it all yourself?

A mat (the tile one).

I build a frame out of aluminium L-shaped profiles. Same for the drawer. Bought the guides that connect the drawer to the frame and makes it slide open.

Love your shelf I see that being very useful when juggling things when cooking.
How is it fixed? Do you remove it when moving location? It looks like it could stay there when the roofs down.
Good skills bud

Yeah it stays in place always. When the roof is down the bed locks it in place, but its stuck on there with two strips of Tesa powerbond Ultra strong. One strip should supposedly be able to hold 10KG per 10cm of tape. They say a maximum of 6KG per object. I used 2 strips just to be sure and it seems very solid.

Skibag and ski for inside use. Looked around for towball solutions (Fabbrri) but too expensive for us right now (and do not have to carry the skis always as we often leave them in Andermatt @Sister in laws place).

Love the mat, where did you get it and what is it made out of?

 

[The Merle]

New boots!

Gone for some bf Goodrich.

Bought end of last week, finally fitted today. Just need to spend time setting it up.
I can now enjoy my music in its many formats.

Just got our Beach, will be using it for work so I bought a steering wheel cover and VW mats to help keep it in good fettle.
