@moomin-jThis week, I had a little win on the lottery
So I bought some "van stuff"
A new Outwell Touring Shelter Canopy, product code 111124, as this 1 is 3m in depth, but sadly they sent 111254, which is shorter at 2.4m.
No stock left of the longer 1.
Organised to send back the short 1.
Wanted (expected) : As delivered (not wanted):

And finally a new set of boots of all seasons Michelin Cross Climate 2 flavour, as the original Pilot Sport 4's are getting ready to run as slicks for a track day.
I used to have a proper winter set of alloys / tyres & a summer set of alloys / tyres, but hopefully these new rubbers will allow no more swapping over twice a year?
If there good enough for @VanDamMan , the're good enough for me!

At least with a £100 Costco discount, the cost is a little bit easier to swallow.

My lottery win, to pay for the above, will be collected as soon as I can get to the local shop:

So, cheaper than the usual £20 forum outlay ! Mrs must be happy ?
Yes - she is over the moon as to what I bought for my £10 winnings.
Even I was surprised as to the haul I managed to procure.
My problems start when the joint account Visa bill lands on the doormat in approx. 30 days time!!
Decided to get a fridge while the vouchers were about on Amazon.
Wanted to get a dual zone one to freeze ice packs as we have a particular need for day trips from motels. Went to the van and measured the space and realised no chance.
Instead got the Alpicool 18l compressor equivalent of our thermoelectric coolbox, few more thoughts on this thread.

Surely those can't be real!! Thanks @Ali-G
Oh FFS!
Can you believe they don't do them in black?! He would hate that!
Nice. I like the blanking plates in the back too. What’s the measuring, designing, refining process for building these parts to get a good fit and finish?
