What Have You Bought Today?

[archersam]

No - mine's expensive; yours is outrageous. Presumably a Cali or 'velle?

It’s a shuttle so it is a car and when new it was over the luxury car tax.

Think yours is bad

Yikes.

Mines only a 150tdi dsg (caravelle) but is still £570 a year, only 2 more payments until I'm down to £15 a month though

I already use a wireless charger cradle in this position however when on a journey it didn’t provide enough power to keep phone charged whilst using Waze (so I have a powerbank thet sits in the drinks holder with a small piggy tail lead).

Was excited to see SCR launch this. It only actually comes with a vent j clip however as I said I’m already using a mount here.

At £39.99 it’s about the same price as most of the competition that I have come across.

It Has an auto opening sensor and then auto close. On the back is a sensor to open it and nice touch is that even if you’ve turned power off it will still open as keeps a residual charge (haven’t tested for how long).

Pleased to see it nicely slotted on my existing mount arm ball end and after having driven Folkestone to Stansted for 1.5 hours am pleased to arrive having used Waze all the way and the phone actually has a little more power than I started with.

It’s a little shame that whilst the item comes labelled with “Presto connect” it arrived in a box covered in Chinese writing and well it wasn’t too long before i then found it on Temu for a third of the price.

It will be hardwired to a usb box below the dash as the way it’s wired at moment is just a test.

Only negative things. When it’s on and no phone on it it has a light in the middle of the charging coil and there is a blue led at the bottom. These minor things annoy me so I’ll cover them up.

It charges an iPhone in a case with two credit cards slotted between the phone and the case.

Phone/charger is hot after the drive however I guess no worse than if it had a power pack attached.

The quality of the product remains, long after the price is forgotten.... said a certain German motor manufacturer in 1985!

Yet more stuff for the kitchen pod I'm building - 2x 16l water containers, submersible pump and hoses, a ruddy great 2m long section of flush led light channel, some rocker switches and a touch dimmer switch. Oh and a CBE triple frame and single frame and 2x USB C/A sockets and a 240v socket (yet to be delivered)...

Where did you opt to buy the water kit from? (containers, pump, hoses)

 

[TallPaul_S]

Where did you opt to buy the water kit from? (containers, pump, hoses)

These guys Plumbing Kits for Camper Van Sinks and Combination Units

A decent choice of container size, plus choice of pumps and you get the extra lids with pass through fitting for the fresh and grey water, and fittings/clamps etc.

I went for the 16l one with the premium pump and integrated lid which has the rubber grommet for the wire and a one way valve for air, and fittings for the 10mm fresh water hose. £95 all in.

Really good quality thick grey and fresh water hose too, smooth on the inside of the waste hose.

Not Trabant then. I'm pretty sure their tagline was „Raus und schieben!".

'Out and Push' for those too lazy to googly translate!

It's an imperative verb, so "Get out and push!" I believe.
