Tailgate chairs and table storage like a Cali...

[Sackmycook]

Morning, I really like the storage arrangement for the California table and chairs and was wondering about cobbling together something for my panel van prior to getting it carpetted etc.
Anyone done something similar ? I've bought a Honda CRV boot table of Fleabay and will probably just use a couple of cheap folding aluminium garden chairs.

There is an aftermarket version called Chair pod, available for both a tailgate or barn door van. We have the tailgate version and love it. It only takes chairs, but there is also a table called the LOC8 which stores in the sliding door. We have that as well. Both are available from the Vanshades website

That's great, sort of thing I was thinking about. Pricey I guess and I'm always keen to see if I can make my own ?

Yes, they are not cheap.

The ChairPod and uprated struts for a tailgate van is,around £300, but this is a lot cheaper than the VW Cali OEM version,which when i asked 2 years ago was approx £1300.

The Loc8 table & frame is approx £275

Did you ever make your own in the end mate?

No, I settled on a couple of cheap chairs and a Honda CRV boot table that I could store loosely but securely under my Exploria bed.
