What Have You Bought Today?

They look like an updated version of mine - I've had three of them for 20 odd years (small,medium and large all used depending on the circumstances and length of trip and all in black). They cost a few quid to buy but they've been all over the world with me and survived some seriously bad treatment and pretty harsh conditions. All have a few cosmetic scuffs and scrapes now but I reckon the bags look better for it and suspect they will outlast me. A big bonus its that they all covert to rucksacks with the supplied straps.

A really rather comfortable 'Timber Ridge' reclining camp chair. I've got a helinox copy camp chair which packs down to a tiny size for when space is really tight but wanted something better for when I've got some room.

No probs with just one bike in the back, 2 might make things tighter but I'm sure I can find a space for it!

Had a £50 Amazon voucher from work thanks to my 5 year anniversary so only cost me £13, I'm trying to not spend money this month!! :rofl:

The timber ridge table also looks quite nice too...
 
Just had a look at these on AT, decent prices, £10-15k for a low mileage one. Mk4's are £15k+ so that's a good sign!


I still regret not buying an Audi S2 back in the mid 00's when they were £5k for an absolute minter. They're £20k+ now!
 
Bought an Outwell “Seahaven Comfort Station Single” toilet/shower tent from Grasshopper Leisure @ £99.00 + £5.95 p&p, which was the best price I could find.
It’s not often we need a toilet tent but our Kampa “Loo Loo” lasted only 3 holidays before both the fibreglass rods delaminated where they are forced to bend at the top. Fibreglass splinters are b*stards!! and we only just managed to get it to hold together on our last trip.
This one has steel poles and goes together more like a gazebo frame, which the tent then hangs from and clips to.
Quality appears to be good, but we will see after it’s been put up and taken down a few times.
The seperate roof cover has tinted “windows” which the stock photo doesn’t show.
Would have liked a Joolca single en-suite but the length of its packed down size was a bit awkward for us and the way we pack.

I'm tempted to start a business renting driveway awnings or canopies!
Our latest purchase as advised and recommended by @czmate1999 is the air version, should be arriving tomorrow.
For shorter stays it will be much less hassle than our rather large Kampa touring air.
Wifey likes the idea of being able to get the toilet tent underneath it.

Not a bad business idea, tbh the amount of them I see for sale after being used once...

Used aka put up in 20mph winds resulting in near WW3 between a husband and wife, and being told it'll never be used again...
 
We ought to form an 'open box re-sale' collective. Using the prospect of an instant sale, buy up unwanted, used-once forum purchases cheaply and then sell-on for a modest profit (to be shared by collective members).

Can you imagine our 'collective' agreeing on anything?!! Great idea though!
