I got it to help loading the bikes on the rack but gets used for everything now and mostly as a foot rest. Just realised we could do with one each but I bought the stools instead (orange one). And then I got carried away and got the grey one with the table top which is really useful (used step as table too when feet weren’t on it)
Stool with table top

Stool and table top are available separately and possibly cheaper as the stools are in a sale which is annoying as I didn’t spot it until after (they are slightly different but it looks like it should work).

Well i was very careful /nervous where I left the circle!!
Does your fridge have a little swivel catch that secures the door while travelling and also allows you to vent the fridge while not in use?
Attached with a cross head screw?
Apparently they can work loose and so allow your fridge to deposit its contents across the floor while negotiating a tight roundabout.
So I'm told anyway, might be worth checking and tightening it up

Chief Advisor has often hit her head on the inner rail of the pop top when ingressing / egressing the van.
I never understood why she insisted on doing this as it usually made her shout and use words that I don't understand.
Anyway, I came up with this simple and cheap solution; a length of pipe lagging with a little bit cut out for the gas strut mounting point.
Whie I was at it I sliced another peice lenghwise about 25mm across to fill the gap between the Vamoose rail and Fiamma awning. Keeps the rain out nicely

Aldi has a set of collapsible bowl and colander which fit nicely into each other. Cheap as chips. £4.99.
They also have large orange topped tent pegs, but we already have a set.

Set your tent up in established spaces. It protects the surrounding wild by keeping it…well, wild. DON'T: Set up too close to water. Unless an established campsite places you closer, try to stay 200 feet away from streams, rivers or lakes. best camping fan for large tent.
Only time my fridge has anything in it is on a camping trip and theres so much stuff on the floor (including the dog) theres no chance of that door openingDoes your fridge have a little swivel catch that secures the door while travelling and also allows you to vent the fridge while not in use?

The lucky lucky wife got these vw tins for her birthday. Obviously she was overjoyed. Fit perfectly in the cupboard over the sink. Essentially just ikea tins with VW stickers on them but by getting them from Etsy you can get someone else to stick the sticker on for a massive markup!
Cracking weather the last few days. . . .
and a perfect excuse to look at the NEW 2023 CASCADE camp chairs.

Been doing more van based camping recently and have discovered a use for one of my workshop trolleys. It's a Sealey CX314
www.sealey.co.uk
Can be picked up cheaper than RRP. Spent a while looking at various ones before going for this, although this one is available from other companies too. Would be a pain to store in a car but in a van you can pop it in folded up and vertical so it doesn't take up much room.
Folds and unfolds in literally seconds. So you have an instant trolley or shelving unit for storing stuff on, gives you more surface area to put things on. Also useful when packing and unpacking for storing bits on. I've used it for a couple of overnighters and it's really handy
3-Level Folding Workshop Trolley | CX314 | Sealey
1 Year Guarantee - Folding composite garage workshop trolley with a 25kg capacity per shelf. Walls on all four sides to stop items from sliding off the trolley.

Looks good...but £162!!
I could use that for work too.
Got a link with the cheaper price?
Here's a couple of pics of it in use from last weekend, two different camps
Friday night. Random stuff on all three shelves, including empty beers and the Ecoflow unit
Saturday night. On the front left of the awning as you look at it. More random stuff on it, camping/boot organiser fits in it very nicely. Water canteen sitting on the folding stool on the left too, behind the table, makes a nice makeshift water dispenser
Much cheaper from some of the online tool sellers. Available for £95 here
www.ffx.co.uk
Copy available from 24mx - 24mx
But I wanted mine sooner than that and wanted the warranty
Cheaper options available for other trolleys but they didn't appear as strong, such as this

Yes, you may need a hose clamp as well though. Do you know what sort of clip?

That's a mighty fine idea. However, it would be another bit of kit for to forget and then be followed up with a bollocking from the long haired general.Run Two QR Gas Cookers from One Gas Bottle. . . . . .
