A conversation with @TallPaul_S about the VW Caravelle Blinds led to an exchange of beer tokens, a more rapid delivery than most businesses and a very happy Roadtripper itching for another overnight excursion to try things out

Yep the (in?)famous Caravelle Good Night Pack - well at least the blinds set from it.
I'm guessing the blinds aren't available separately from new and that there's some Caravelle-specific foible that means they aren't suitable for us mere Transporter mortals?
You might be able to find them new but I'd imagine the cost would be ridiculous.I'm guessing the blinds aren't available separately from new and that there's some Caravelle-specific foible that means they aren't suitable for us mere Transporter mortals?
And yes, they only fit the caravelle (possibly shuttle too) as the side ones fit into the pull up blinds, the rear clips to a bit of trim above the tailgate.
The windscreen and front door ones would fit, though.
Actually, those would be the ones I'd be interested in - got Vanshades for all the rear windows. Still, as you say, availability and cost would be the issues.The windscreen and front door ones would fit, though.

And a Van X tailgate curtain and cab divider curtain.
And foam and zips for the mattress for the van bed.
And a Carbon Monoxide meter for the van.
And 2 nights at Burnbake campsite near Studland in 2.5 weeks time. The first overnight outing in the van!

Right. I hope that's the spending done for a least a couple of weeks!
Edit. Crap, I still need to buy a nice square sleeping bag.

Alrighty, mine arrived rapidly from China thankfully. 2 secs to fit today. I’m assuming “off mode” is the reverse of standard. What is memory and service for? The badly translated instructions don’t help.
I’ve altered mine from off mode and got it set to memory mode, which remembers what you last had the on off set to, I don’t no about service mode but I would suspect that it reverts to normal settings.
John.
I suspect that "off" will force it off every start, "memory" will retain the state you had last time, "service" will make it hide and the button work normally for MOT/Service
