Some carpets/mats. From Dunelm. Cut it to size to fit the habitation area. The extra will be cut to fit in between the front seats.

Got our carpet from Fat Bob’s Emporium. He had a stall at Telford VW show 2nd Feb and arrived today. Very good quality and made to any size and colours 69£ delivered. Also came with a sliding door step carpet but that has not arrived as yet.
The back of seat holder (£15) is also good quality with plenty of storage for bits and pieces; from another stall at same event.

We invested (I say invested as they weren't cheap!) in two sets of Sunnersta shelving adapters and a Pop top table. Only the metal brackets were bought from Germany, the rest was from the local IKEA. Really pleased and they dont rattle about when driving.View attachment 55849

I recommend that you put some tape on top of the aluminium brackets that will touch the roof lining when the bed is closed. Its either the Alu oxide layer or condensation on the metal surface that seems to leave a black stain on the moonrock roof material over time.

Bought 8 Amazon basics pack cubes in size L. Just because so many of you seem to swear by packing cubes ;-)

Thanks for this tip! I ordered some eBays myself. In bright pink!

10kg of Basmati rice and lots of ambient stored foods. Getting ready to disappear into Europe and live off grid while it all goes off for a few months...

Ha ha! I also picked up a 10Kg pack day-before, though not for the van That is indeed the best basmati on the market. Enjoy your travels. (PS: make it quick, lest they don't let you in )

Don't forget the essentials.....

New wheels.
Changed the Davenports for some 18” Supermetal Bullets in satin black fitted with Bridgestone Weather Control A005 255/45/18 tyres. I’m not usually a black wheels fan but the satin black works well with the matte black trim.
I’m really impressed with the ride and everything feels more precise
Supermetal wheels are also sold by VW Dealers and fully TUV approved for the T6.

More than the essentials, I like the art on the tray base. Brilliant . How did you manage that?

Thanks. It's just an old plastic tablecloth stuck to the plywood base with spray on carpet glue.

A brand new spare wheel and locking bolt because someone stole the old one on a recent visit to Legoland.

Received a very comforting email from them to let me know they are aware of the problem!

VW wanted £300, a big thank you to Benn who sorted me out with a new spare at 1/2 that cost.

You have just reinforced my insistence that a spare wheel locking bolt was supplied as part of the deal on the new(to me) Cali that I have just bought. Long before I bought mine, I was aware from lots of media posts that these wheels are a popular target.

Yeah, now Im intrigues as well. Always figured a nanopresso wasn't what I wanted cause you'd have to boil water on the stove, but if that is a waterboiler that works on 12V, we might have a winner.

 

[Seamelody]

Exactly !!

There's a great story behind a 12v water boiler , @Amarillo took one on his great adventure .....if i recall correct it cost him the fixed price of a new lesure battery .
Noting wrong using a gas burner , also more time efficient imo.
25min or more for a cup hot water , thats what i call "sloooow coocking "
Some reading here

12 Volt kettles

With excess power provided by our solar panels, we are looking at ways to use this free resource. Waeco sell a 12 volt 200 watt kettle that, depending on initial water temperature, will take about 30 minutes to boil 750ml of water. As it would drain much battery power, it would be best used up...
