What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[Johnbee]

Purchased a Comfortz awning room in light grey from campervanbits, which arrived yesterday.
Also, remembered the discount code this time

Some internal blinds for the windscreen and front side windows from Amazon.

Amazon.co.uk

£40 well spent, far more effective and quicker to fit than the built in ones and if you can’t work out how to fold them up again they store under the mattress when not in use.

Certainly looks to be cheap enough compared to the main provider of these blinds.
Is it a perfect fit?
Do you think that it would be easy enough to cover them with a fabric that you might like?

Perfect may be a slightly flattering term for the windscreen cover but it’s pretty damn close. The magnetic side window covers are spot on. One side is reflective and the other side black material for all three covers. The big win for me is they stay put simply being held in place by the sun visors and there’s no need to move the mirror.

Awning Room, plus I bought a Colman Event shelter copy, not had chance to give that a test yet though

Didn't buy anything to be honest. Printed something. The strap that holds the filler cap to the van had broken and some nice bloke has put a 3d-printing model for it online. So I printed the strap and saved myself a few quid but mostly the trouble of having to take it to the garage.

Print the strap. Remove the little pins from the cap by pressing hard on them with a needle-like object and slide the strap in and 'hammer' the pins back in. On the other side the strap connects to the van with a screw.

Today I got a custom pitch taken sign made for me by our friends printing business. Particularly good for Caravan and Motorhome Club sites where it is not uncommon for someone to set up on your pitch if you have gone off exploring due to pitches not being allocated.

Not exactly for my van and already a few days ago, but I found this hoodie at El Corte Inglés in Zaragoza and could not resist, so apt it is.

What van have you got? Mines a 6.1 so wondering if these will fit

6.1 - they’re still going strong after a few uses

And you’re going to hang it from your rear view mirror ??

No. That would spoil the aesthetic of the fluffy dice

 

[Snoopy23]

Tried many methods of getting a easy good coffee, finally tempted with this machine, seems to do the job for £30

Ooh that looks interesting… we have a campervanbits one. Do you know how your new one might compare?
