What Have You Bought Today?

[Texxaco]

The big reveal.........The wheels have landed.
Wolfrace Munich GTR's 50th anniversary edition in urban chrome plus red accessory kit to complement the van.
Only downside is there's a centre cap missing, so tyre fitting put on hold for now.
Gold trim is as they come as standard.

A washing up bowl for my SMEV 9222! After reading this thread couldn’t find any of those options, found one on Amazon but it needed to be cut down so settled on this one from van wurks even though postage was more than the item

Good choice that man. I've had one for a couple of years now and it's been brilliant in all weathers. I keep thinking about those S&S carbon poles and usually decide that I'm too tight 4rsed and don't do anything but every time that I weaken, I go to the S&S website only to find them out of stock anyway.

Final bits arrived for dynamic mirror indicators and side cameras Rev: 2.0

Look how shiney and new it looks. . .

i thought they were Grey lol . . . they obviously fade with the Suns UV etc. .

looks even better in Dark Black. . . . . . very nice storage bag too.







the quality feels good. . .




loving the Black KADOR strip as well.

i was umming and arring with @czmate1999 last week at Camperjam about getting a wide BLACK 6-6mm KADOR for my drive away awning.

ended up leaving it - but there is always Busfest right





++++++


edit:

those S&S carbon poles

yes they OOS, so I've added email notification when back in stock.


the feedback from @Deaky was that they are very good quality, worth the money, and has have lasted 4years +


thats a good enough reference for me........ S+S - take my money.

Am I correct in thinking that the mirror bottoms still need manipulating to make the indicators fit or are these special "bottoms"?

Unfortunately I don't have a special bottom They will need an attack of the Dremel

they obviously fade with the Suns UV etc. .

It happens quite slowly though - mine is only very slightly different from the storage bag which is made if the same stuff and has never been exposed to UV light whereas the awning has had a fair bit of time in some quite strong sunlight.
On poles, my recommendation is that you need at least three to take full advantage of the versatility offered by the shape. I also made up 4 long (1.5 - 3M) and 4 shorter (1 - 2M) guy lines using line loc tensioners and small stainless steel carabiners (the little aluminium 'key ring' types are just not strong enough) and they make the whole setting up process much easier (the carabiners either clip directly into the eyelets or just go over the top of of them on the tent poles). I don't think I've ever used more than 5 in total but it's a lot easier to have and not use than...

ah shame I did them on my 5.1 and was never very happy with the quality especially compared to some I have seen that look OEM

I have them on at the moment but one has a couple of segments missing. The lowers are cheap so I thought as I had to fit cameras it would be easier to just start again.

VanKraft recliner (+5 deg) for the front bench seat, only needed 5 as its on a Rusty Lee swivel base which adds 5 (ish)
