Any T6/T6.1 California Ocean owners who live on The Wirral?

Hi all... A potentially random question.

I'm just wondering whether there are any T6/6.1 California Ocean owners who live on The Wirral who are members here?

Thanks!

Hi and thanks for responding to such an arbitrary question I'll cut to the chase.

So, I'm based in Parkgate (Very close to Chester!) I've previously owned a T6.1 Ocean but have now switched to a Grand Cali 600 (I can't pretend to say this one is better looking than our old Cali - but we needed a few more comforts)...

Sorry this is not cutting to the chase...

Anyway. Once I took delivery of the Grand Cali I decided to use my design-engineer head to create a few things which made vanlife a little more bearable (I've got a 3D printer and am a product designer). Once I'd got a few designs under my belt (which I genuinely do think made a positive difference) I tested the water on this forum and offered the parts for sale. Interest was good and I've subsequently opened an Etsy store within the previous month.

Having previously owned a T6.1 I definitely think I could make products which would help owners of those - but I need a guinea pig.

If you look on my store, you'll see a kitchen roll holder.This seems to be quite popular. I've spent some time to come up with an alternative design which I think would work well for T6/6.1.

My question is this. Would you be willing for me to test this design on your vehicle. Ideally it would be in person (in case the dimensions are not quite right) and also would be good to get your feedback.

Clearly whatever final design I come up with, it would be yours to keep.

I understand if this is a strange request, so please say no if unsure. I could go over to the Van Centre in Liverpool - but I think it's better to bounce ideas off with an owner.

Thanks again for replying.

Dan.

Hi - thanks for replying!

If you read my comment above to the other site member, I'm looking for a guinea pig to test some new T6 products on, and get feedback.

I'd be happy to meet up at a local location such as the fronts at either Parkgate or New Brighton, etc.

Let me know if this is of interest.

Thanks,

Dan.

@daniel_thomason I can’t help on the guinea pig front as in Edinburgh, but just checked out your Etsy store and really like what you’ve made for the Grand Cali. I’m keen to see what you’ll make for the Cali.

Thanks for your support @Camperfamily, I'll keep you posted.

And of course anyone on this forum can write to me and say "What would really make my vanlife easier, is if I I had a ...."

Enjoy the summer!

For us it would be a kitchen roll holder - maybe that clips onto the passenger seat headrest.

Hi @Camperfamily Would you be interested in me sending you a kitchen roll holder to test in your van?

If so, please dm me and we can sort it out.

Thanks!
