A pillar for drivers side with no holes as I want to delete the grab handle. Was £83 as it comes with tweeter which I don’t need as have Audiofrog now.
Also door card rubber inserts from van x oh yeh and a stop start override kit. This thread is dangerous as both of them were as a result of posts I’d seen on here
And an extra mid row single (which I got pretty cheap) with the built in seat belt so can have a very flexible seat set up in my shittle.

Well, not so much what I have bought today, but what I have bought in the last few weeks to Equip the new VW Hillside. Bearing in mind this is my first camper and so a lot of essential equipment has been needed. When I get the time I will cost it all out but it may be a useful list? I have managed to utilise a lot of the gear I already had for fishing trips.

Sold - Debon C255 Trailer
As I no longer need the additional space to carrier items. I am now selling my trailer. Bought November 2022 used a couple of times and stored dry when not it use. Cost £4200 plus the security items which were a further £250. I have also bought but not fitted the side loading securing rails. I...

Lovely looking van :thumbsup: Thanks as with them all it’s a constant project haha. Stopped spending in it due house improvements and holiday money. But I’ll find something else to add to it haha
