One from Campervanbits. Thanks for the other suggestions, I’ll take a ganders.which cover did you try?
The VanStyle ones work very well on my t6.
Branderup also have a set which is similar but more expensive.

I bought one a while back with the plus size portafilter so it brews with around 16-18gms of coffee. It’s actually very good.Watch out for @wildslammer22 he is the judge, jury and executioner when it comes to coffee standards.
Interested in how these attach to the van (or are they all on the awning). If not screwed down is the security system itself under threat of theft.?A new security system for our Grand California. Whole setup lasts a couple of days, and planning on getting it looped into an EcoFlow alternator charger setup to give complete self-sustainability.
The wifi unit and camera hub is powered off the EcoFlow, with the wifi using a 5G card.
Plan is to have the cameras on/around the awning for park ups at Britstop sites etc, giving the ability to check outside when inside (and wanting to avoid opening any doors etc), as well as remote security when away from the van.
Went the cheap route and grabbed some refurbished units from Amazon for £48, rather than £140~!(https:///3ZB7JtQ).

Perhaps better to travel with a security guardWhatever you do, make sure you follow the rules, you wouldn’t want the thief taking you to court!..and if the neighbouring plot has children, they might not appreciate their little ones being filmed.

Looks great! What make is it?New flynet with magnetic closure AND zipper. The magnetic closure is just brilliant. Zipper only used for easier folding for storage. Can even remain in the door when closed but i just remove it as its a bit too tight for my liking.

We've got a Maxxcamp version, also with magnets. Less worry about the velcro failing.Its "vanquito". Only one i could find with magnets as i am sure i would get quickly annoyed by a zipper.

I've got cheap one from Amazon. Looks similar and you can detach the bottle and take it with you, to drink smoothie. I used wild blackberries growing around campsites and added some strawberries from shops and this small box of apple juice for kids. Perfect combination.After some hemming and hawing, concerned it wouldn't be powerful enough or that battery life would be terrible, I picked up a Ninja Blast portable smoothie maker a couple of weeks ago from John Lewis (£45). It seems great. It charges to full in about 2 hours with a USB-C cable, and one gets about 8 smoothies out of that. If the battery gives up halfway through the last smoothie you can plug it in and finish the job. (Not sure if it will run continuously while plugged in, but plugging it in for 30 seconds and then leaving it plugged in, one can get at least one more smoothie out of it.)
I've only tried it with frozen blueberries and fresh bananas, but it has no problem with those as long as there is enough liquid. With a food processor at home, I sometimes use very little liquid and the result is like ice cream. This couldn't cope with that, you need more liquid - with the minimum amount of liquid you get something between straightforwardly drinkable and wanting to use a spoon.
It's quite compact, roughly the size of a wine bottle, so can live in a Cali easily. It's very easy to buy frozen blueberries on the road so it's a way of getting a healthy frozen-ish dessert on the road. Planning now to try vegetable based smoothies too.

AH PurbeckHaving seen others here happy with their brushed aluminium protective covers, we bought some too - shown here as we arrived at a campsite near Swanage…

A little question. Can you slide that thing out completely with a bike rack attached? How far does it come out?A spacemate. Have to concur with everyone who has one. Awesome bit of kit and actually good value when you look at the design details, materials, and build quality.

Can’t see it on Amazon. I’m interested. What does it do? To assist with distance? A timer?
Our first 'attempt' was via some flexible rubber chameleon tail things that you can loop around objects and then zip-tie to secure. HoweverI wasn't wholly convinced - certainly not for the 'roof/door' one. The tailgate one is fine, as its just looped around one of the bars.Interested in how these attach to the van (or are they all on the awning). If not screwed down is the security system itself under threat of theft.?
