What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

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

Looks promising.

I've just gone straight for a ceramic spray post wash - so far the beading has been excellent with it and it's so much easier than "wax on, wax off"

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?

Will let you know once I get it and try it. It might turn out to be naff!

For those that enquired: It all packs into a bag slightly bigger than an A4 sheet and about 10cm thick. It comes with a charger that plugs into the 12v socket . It took me 5 minutes to set up. You inflate the bit to go along the footwell which wraps around the gear lever housing. You then inflate the bit that goes between the seats over the handbrake. Then you inflate the main bed. I didn't inflate them fully. They would be a much snugger fit fully inflated. Perfect to put our dog's jumbo bed on. I am aware that any exposed bits will get destroyed by a dog (puppy) that bites them. There is a small patch repair kit that comes with it. However, I think the dog bed will cover them all. I checked the seats could be forward enough to fit our Thetford! The price is a bit steep. However, it has been explicitly designed for the T6/6.1 and is ideal for our use case. Hope this helps.

Put up with rusty wheel bolts for too long. Bit the bullet and got some plastic caps off flea bay.
Now suffering from anxiety in case I lose one.

We were finding the lower bed on our T7 Beach a little too firm so like weirdos we took the mattress out and into our local Decathlon which has a handy sleeping mattress testing station (basically a big wooden board with all their mattresses available to try!) and put their various options on top to check for comfort and fit. In the end we found this one perfectly matched the size of the T7 Beach bed and was super comfortable on top of it:

Went mad yesterday and bought a driveaway awning, 2 double sleeping bags and OH managed to sneak a YETI shopping bag into the bundle!

We bought some eyes for the van from Fuel Lagoon on eBay and a Milenco steering wheel lock on Amazon so far so good.

A replacement 904 gas bottle for my Beach. The previous one lasted exactly four years and many brews.

Just received a nice new Comfortz Insulated screen cover for our lovely T5.1

 

[Souter]

2 x Sunloungers and Sunblocker were delivered. Thule Sunblocker not as good quality as the Fiamma ones but Fiamma 260 is too long for the Thule wind out awning!
