What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[fantasque]

Slowly getting the van how I'd like it to look (my avatar), and finally put a RCD360 in the van, so now have Apple Carplay and a nice OEM look. Couldn't justify the floating fancy stuff without spending a fortune on new speakers just yet. As a note, Moody ysm from Facebook was a pleasure to deal with getting that sorted.

Also put the trapezoid side bars on, didn't have time to fit the front splitter.

I'm doing it all gradually, so I make sure i'm happy making decisions.

I know i'm a bit of a heathen, but I am going to lower it a little at some point.

Out of interest, what make are the wheels?

I designed this Blind Buddy and been using it on our trip through France, takes all the fear away from the blinds unhooking and getting broken. https://ebay.us/m/A2S3LV

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.

Yes, of course, battleship sprung kindly-wold.

Yes Campervan Haul! In preparation for the arrival of my Grand California. I ordered a month early to make sure they had chance to be made, but they arrived the next day!!

All blends together on my dining table but bed step, kitchen extension, shower duck board and chopping board. We already have the table bought 2nd hand off here a while back.

Just bought a JBL Flip6 for a great price. Excellent quality and perfect for campervan, home, garden etc. Waterproof, rechargeable bluetooth speaker. Second time I've ordered with JOYBUY and can 100% recommend them, very quick delivery.
I have no association with the company but you can get an extra fiver off with code ELEKTRA1

Nice and neat solution, if only VW had put more effort into the retractable blind design in the first place these would not be needed.

Agree with both points there. I was going to drill a couple of holes in a small piece of wood or plastic to do the same job, but I doubt it would be as neat as this solution.

Fresh of the press it arrived today - I anticipate a wonderful read:

Mine just arrived, thank you. Really neat solution.

 

[andybeary]

keeping to the theme on blinds i did make this which does the trick if you have a mirror dashcam and still want to use blinds also no need to take off can leave attached for easy storage and i still use to this day.

Is is quite rigid over the handbrake area, or do you have to prop it up?

Its intersting, where did you get it from and how much?

 

[CaliforniaPhil]

I'm sure this has been on here before but thought I'd try this wax, for light coloured paint. It states 12 months. So it's probably best to do twice a year.

How is it supported and is it a special item designed for the front?

It rests across the front seats and on an inflated bit between the seats and dashboard. Specific for a t6/6.1 cab. It is supposed to support a child. We will place our dogs bench travel bed on top of it.

Ordered from amazon. A bit steep price wise but we feel its perfect for our new dog.

Search "transporter t6/6.1 van cabin air bed"

It hasnt arrived yet. Hoping it works in a t6.1 cali!

 

[CaliforniaPhil]

Photos and a review would be good when you have it and used it.

Looks promising.

I'd be really interested to hear how you get on with this. Was looking last night and toying between this or the frame that sits on the doors. What kind of size does it pack down to?
