What Have You Bought Today?

[R8N XX]

I bought an awning. Oh err.

Well done!

Which one? Pole or air? When you gonna use it?

The joys of having staggered wheels, tyres which are directional and needing a spare wheel, just in case when we do the Skye thing. First time in my life I've bought a 'pre loved' tyre. But as a spare multi wheel it'll do. Not directional, it's on an 8.5J rim, so a front wheel wheely. Michelin Latitude, non directional, good tread from Baig tyres in Worcester for £50. Should the worst happen oop North it may get us out of a (pot)hole! It's going to live on that Bak Sak and Crack towbar carrier which is being withheld from me until Sunday.

A twin Cabbunk for the kids - they trialled them out and seemingly love them. Let’s see how the first night on them goes!

Small review : easy to fit, feel sturdy as hell. SWMBO (9st) lay on the top bunk to check my work

Quick trip to go outdoors for a little restock. Picked up an electric hookup adapter for when we go to France next month.

I also treated myself to an OEX stove. I went for the larger Tacana one as it'll only live in the van, plus it came with a few extras over the smaller Hiero. Can't wait to try it out!

Been at the Motorhome and Campervan show in Newark. Managed to get out with only spending a fiver on a cable bag. Quite sure if it had stopped raining long enough, SWMBO would have found all sorts of stuff we definately needed.

Yeh comes with the glue wayne, does the fiamma need to be removed?, looks like it from pictures, but I can’t quite tell!

@Burner, how did you end up doing it? I clocked that you have a pop top? I just had my 3m Fiamma fitted to the LWB.

Did you buy this one? - Fiamma Awning Kit Rain Guard Van (F45S or F35 Pro)

 

[burnsy79]

@Bav , I heard this product could be used on a pop top to get the shine back, thoughts?

Tony, did you see this video too -

Hi @burnsy79 , yes I've seen this and it looks like it will do the job. Just waiting for a cloudy day to give it a go.
Thanks for the steer, love VWT owners, we are all here to help eachother.

I’ve ordered one of these in carbon black to replace the Sequioa table leg mount we are currently using. This should give us more flexibility in how we use the space in the back of the van.
