4x tyres for my new Canteras - being fitted in an hour
I knew after I bought the van I’d be spending more on bits for it - now I’ve done the suspension, wheels and tyres, which are the big ticket items, I hope to give my wallet a rest
@t6blo - You know the rules...
Photos or it didn't happen!!
Would be interested to know how you get on using this
Thanks very much, when you have an opportunity, please could you measure the distance between top of drawer base to lowest intrusion on underside of bed base. Many thanks in advance.
Lol any excuse to faff around with the van
The inside of the draw base, to the underside of the shelf is 490mm. It leaves me 40mm from the top of the fridge to the underside of the shelf with the 45L
I succumbed, and the wife was in a good mood, so Jackery Explorer 240 purchased for £195 - a saving of £65 of typical price. It's a significant price increase to the Explorer 500 so thought we'd give this a go - it will serve a multitude of uses and if it keeps our compressor fridge running until it's drained whilst on ferry crossing that'll be a bonus.
So my Kw DCC cancellation kit arrives on Tuesday. But what to fit next Air ride (not VB) or coil overs
We are of to the Royal International Air Tattoo tomorrow so I thought I’d treat myself to this
So I can take track the aircraft, might also come in handy for home videos

Having bought the new seat, today I got a 30mm lower than standard Sportscraft seat box arrive in the post.
Partly because my Mrs is very short at 5’ 2” so struggles to get her feet on the floor on the standard seat but the plan is to fit a swivel so this way it won’t be any worse than standard.
We have twice hired campers with swivel seats, once here and once in NZ and although they weren’t VWs (Fiat Ducatos in both cases) she couldn’t reach the floor at all and had to nick a back cushion from the sofas to make a foot rest. Funnily enough she could just about reach the pedals so was able to drive (helped that both were autos) but no surprises spent most of both trips in the passenger seat!
Looks like a busy weekend ahead of me, especially as she seems to think I’ll have plenty of time to paint the garden fence too

I saw one of those the other day, and thought that’s amazing! However I had no idea how to even go about googling itWe are of to the Royal International Air Tattoo tomorrow so I thought I’d treat myself to this

Are these still commanding hundreds of pounds? I paid about £700 for a single passenger seat.
One of these - going to set it up inside the van for security and connect to van wi-fi (which I haven’t bought yet)
Note - I did buy this one but it is too big and PTZ is overkill so returned it.

Allpowers battery power generator - there is a voucher giving 20% off right now - making it £431. Was rude not to buy it
I was considering a dc-dc/leisure battery + inverter but this works out cheaper and easier to install. My Kombi is not a campervan so don’t need days and days of off grid power - this should give enough on a day trip to not flatten the starter battery.
Thanks to @Dellmassive for the informative threads

I like the Forensic Detail guy on youtube. He has a full course option which I've seen on offer a few times for a very reasonable price although he has posted a whole beginners section of videos which tell you everything you need to know.
Like the idea of this, awning without drilling or sticking something to the van with mastic! Like the idea of one, but would want to drive around with it permanently. Are the brackets a standard for Thule?
