- Mattress topper for the pop top and Alpkit double dozer for downstairs.
- Second hand Lotus grill
- Cheap Amazon helinox knockoffs

It’s been a pricey month.

270W rigid.

You're going to need a bigger bucket to catch all that extra free energy that panel will produce!

Working on it.

Halo ceiling/roof from @Vanbus with hex design.

Anglia Camper conversions will carpet it and install it whilst doing my windows. Going to look amazing once done!!

A momentary switch for the inside of the tailgate of my Vivante. Just realised I will have egress issues if we make up the 2 singles and I need a 4am pee as no way of getting out of the rear from inside.

Fitted one on my last van so I should own this !!

No toilet in your Vivante?

Site toilets take precedence

...
MOT tomorrow afternoon - should be it for the next 12 months.

Passed
Over 1h on the ramp - the tester was interested in every modification and said it was one of the cleanest vans he has ever seen.
Had to demonstrate the Ovano as well

 

[Paynewright]

Technically, I didn’t buy it - T shirt from SWMBO from Kos.

Not sure I’m looking forward to my ‘Camp Adventure’!

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

I bought these.

I was looking for strong tent pegs to fasten down my Fiamma awning sides.
I had difficulty with one side being on gravel.
These look the bollocks
I will need to take a small impact driver to screw them in but will be worth it.

@The Flying Scotsman. They look to be similar to the pegs the we use that came from Decathlon, They're threaded but ours have flat round heads so you can't use a driver but, as with a lot of things in life, the solution is a lump hammer. We also have carry half a dozen 30cm long rebar pegs with us in the peg box - they're the camping version of the nuclear option. The lump hammer makes short work of them as well.

Bought a new 'ladies lumpy' for wifey to take on her camping trip beginning of August. I'm hoping to be reunited with my 4lb lumpy having left it under the van at Camperjam! Never used/needed screw in pegs, heavy duty rock pegs work well with a lumpy!

I’d rather carry a much lighter cordless Impact driver than a big heavy lump hammer.
It’s much handier to a precision craftsman like me

 

[Sackmycook]

One of these.....

 

[StratosFearXX]

This: ANCEL BM300 Pro Bluetooth Battery Monitor Charging Cranking System Test & Alarm | eBay UK

Anyone else use this one?

 

[psulli16]

I’ve been playing round designing a rear bed/ storage system. Next to add pull out floor and bed base. Then off for powder coating

 

[Kind of Blue]

Very good! I have been wanting to produce something similar for a while. Not having you ability I was going to use Key Clamp. An amazing number of different joints and sizes. I may also use something similar for my Hi-fi support system a tower for main components with different levels and something for the large and heavy 50kg each PMC MB speakers. My main problem is with post and parcels. Do not expect things at the house but at the end of an access track but only Royal Mail and Amazon seem to be able to find us no matter how good the directions and what 3 words descriptions accurate to a few metres.

on some really stoney pitches you need the hammer as well sometimes when the impact driver won't drive em in

Deposit paid on some Rogue Rampage 17" fitted with CrossClimate SUVs... thanks Simon at Bognor Motors!

Steered away from Wildpeaks in the end. Felt like I was sacrificing economy, noise and wet braking for the sake of looking cool. Must remember I'm a dad.

well pleased with my Rogue Raptor 17Inch fitted at there place in Reading. While the Cooper AT3 245/65r17s physically fit without rubbing, the circumference gets Front Assistance warnings if i try to programme their 2357mm for speedo accuracy. Will swap for a smaller tyre next time

Some 20" Rivieras from @64 SPLIT
