Thanks bud, i'll take a look at that
Send a piccy when it is fitted. It may well make my mind up as whether to purchase 1.
Some fancy touch up paint as there are a growing number of nicks in the bonnet and a rather worrying sign of rust on the scuttle seam that I'm a bit shocked at given the van is 3 years old and is one of the allegedly "premium" configurations...
I bought a USB-C 12v PD Trigger/decoy cable to power my 4G router from the van
More details on my tinkering thread here, but summary is the VW sockets don't seem to support anything over 5V but all is not lost...

Roadtripper's Caravelle tinkering
Also a quick report of our roadtrip to Loch Tay. Basically 5 members of the group were disappointed that we didn't find extensive snow, 1 member (me) was rather glad as I'd want to have the van in a snowy carpark first. So we didn't explore quite as far as I would have done in the XC70 (with...

Powerrrrr!!!!

Never seem get the same results as the online video with that kit??
I never get great results with any to be fair so worth a shot. Will be doing the internal bit first to see how it goes. Mostly I care about the ones that are deep enough to be to the metal.
A nice pair of Revision "F" LHD T6 H7 headlights 
Nice! Where is yours from? Presumably insulated? Saw some nice ones at the campervan show last weekend from Custom Camping, but thought they were kind of pricey. They do come with a stuff bag, which is a bit long, or there's also a strap provided to keep it tightly folded in a bundle that would easily fit in a cupboard or under the rear seat/bed.
Some gas. As boring as that sounds, it's a bit of an effort if you haven't got a bottle to start with.

You can retrofit the handle in the B pillar, there's a guide somewhere on here. Not as easy as the A pillar handle I seem to recall.View attachment 247442View attachment 247443
£1.50 in a local poundworldland type shop. Something to help Mrs.G get in & out the side door while I ponder other options. Just have to remember to remove before slamming the door shut
The other end of the solution scale would be to fit air suspension - "it's a lot easier to get in and out when we're aired-out dear...View attachment 247442View attachment 247443

Yes, I've studied that option and decided it's above my paygrade
The problem seems to be that the OEM grab handle is only designed for Caravelle/Kombi models, and needs a bit of DIY innovation to fit it in an ex-panel van.Another option may be something like this which would certainly be easier to remember is there before closing the door. Anyone tried one?
Preferable to the times I've inadvertantly slammed the door shut on the wife's fingersI'd worry about the wife slamming the door shut on that
But yes, that is a concern. She's suggested attaching a cord of some sort that will make it more noticeable. I'll leave it up to her, then it won't be my fault
How about some side steps? Cheaper and easy to fit compared to air.View attachment 247442View attachment 247443

I’ve looked at these for access to clean/maintain the poptop. I haven’t gone for it as I’m worried about my ample weight on the B pillar.Yes, I've studied that option and decided it's above my paygrade

Not sure about this to help someone access the vehicle as this relies on the direction of load being straight down
