What Have You Bought Today?

my record was nearer £200 this time last year :-O!!!

I'm happy to lose in that particular game of Top Trumps.

My van has an 80-litre tank (standard is 70-litre), so, yes, definitely over £100 to fill from empty - though I never let it get lower than the 1/4 full mark, as below that, the system prevents regens from occurring.

The key to reasonable mpg is gentle acceleration and cruising at/around 60 mph (though obvs not in a town centre! )

Not on my van it doesn't.

I thought that was standard 6.1s behaviour - what does yours do?

Mine went into a regen when the low fuel light was on.

Mine went into a regen when the low fuel light was on.

Do you think yours is an outlier or that they all do that? Read on here recently that a regen uses an additional 0.9l of fuel, so without a minimum fuel level, a regen could see you stranded at the roadside.

Got one of these from ebay, £19.99. Will stick it under the grey water tank outlet under the O/S of the campervan

Got one off Amazon too, does the trick!

Will someone please buy my van to stop me buying things. I’ve also bought a pair of genuine folding mirrors and the window motors to do that conversion……it never ends.

Post how the mirror conversion goes, I’m going to do the same after my lights.

The boss is adamant that she will want to watch something other than me during the evenings in the van.
I like the idea of the data use being on display. I have fitted a 100GB Vodafone contract SIM - £10 a month to my existing account.

I’m looking for something like this, can you send a link?

TP-Link M7350 4G Cat4 LTE Mobile WiFi with Unlimited O2 Data SIM Card Bundle​

This is similar from Amazon.
Look up TP-Link mobile router.

Bought the new Debus Air Sun canopy awning today for short trips, bought the 2 sidewalls too (no windows) that zip in or out. Should be a good quick bit of kit.

I've just bought 6 metres of car Door seal. I've fitted it around the rear and lower edge of both drivers and passengers doors on my T6. The best £10 spent. What a difference it makes to road noise and warmth.

Where did u buy the seals thanks

Nice. They do a front too, tempting

Nice. They do a front too, tempting

Yeah I was tempted but wanted to see how we get on , only got the sides as a windbreak really.

 

[cgtmiles]

I had the vango one with sides and found it a little too much for something that has to come down every time you move the van.

Been to Ikea for some flat pack for home and picked up these bits for the van.

Couple of tumblers, some cooking utensils and a funnel


The funnel seems random but when we hired a van (before we got our own) we made mulled wine in a saucepan and a funnel would have helped reduce some of the mess we made trying to pour it out into cups for drinking
