What Have You Bought, But Not Yet Fitted or Used?

ANGLED TRAPEZOID SPORTLINE STYLE POLISHED SIDEBARS - VW T6.1 SWB​

Purchased when I got the Van at the end of March, not fitted as my van is only a T28 and I’m still weight conscious. They’ve not even been opened.
 
An appointment with my PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) man, after some lovely chap (or chapess) mowed the green out the front of my house, and drove straight over a huge branch (rather then pull it out and ditch it) that was stuck in the grass to stop people (delivery driver) cutting the corner of the my turning space, causing said twig to meet its demise in the blades of the ride on mower and fly into my sliding door 🙄🤦‍♂️. ( the remnants were there when I got back from a site meeting) Luckily it’s accessible from the back (already got the panel off). FFS… Ironically, I only moved the van from the very front of the house so the window cleaners could get unhindered access and not risk ‘dinking’ the van, then they didn’t show up. A comedy of errors.
Well, that’s one expensive widow clean 😆.
Lodged my displeasure with the Council and have an appointment to ‘discuss’. Typical the Dashcam (Blackvue) didn’t catch it as I left at 6:30 this morning and 3 mins later it stopped recording, probably as SB was low ( not used the van for 3 days).
I try to be positive nowadays and I know my PDR guy will get it out, I’ll forget about it in a week or so, could’ve smashed my window etc so I suppose not the end of the world😉
 
Any good?
Yes! Game changer. Came into its own in Croatia and Italy where temps were hitting 38 in the day.

We’d pop it on around 5/6pm and and return for 8ish and it’d be like stepping into another climate. Instant relief. Drastically cooler than the outside temp.

There’s minimal impact in the height of the day though. Our intent was purely for dropping temps for sleeping, which it did. In fact some nights we had to turn it right down!

It gathers more water than you’d think. Having it on for 3 sessions of 12 hour use would fill a standard sized bucket.

I now have no regrets buying this 👍
 
Bought one of these pens on sale from Amazon, although I only really need the gate section.

Saw this from another Leisuredrive owner and was impressed. This will mean that we can keep the 2 singles beds, and the bosses will be relegated to the kitchen on a night time

Bought some side bars from vanstyle but the quality and fitment was really poor so never got round to fully installing them. Waste of money really
