Pics Chris?!Some 20" Rivieras from @64 SPLIT
Decided to go down the swamper route so I have a set of 20" Riviera RV130's for sale.
The alloys are in mint condition - no kerbing, buckles, scuffs or stone chips (I'll post better pics once they've been removed off the van & cleaned properly
...
Rated to 950kg per wheel so suitable for all models of Transporter.
Fronts - ET35 / Rears - ET38
8.5" fronts / 10" rears
Were fitted to my T32 so they have correct load-rated Accelera Iota 275/40 106Y XL tyres with around 5-6mm front, rears 3-4mm.
Will come complete with wheel nuts & centre caps etc.

My initial plans for the van were a typical day van/light conversion for weekends away etc. Unfortunately, a change in job location meant the van was relegated to commuting shortly after purchase and my plans were put on hold.
Roll on 5 years(!) and I'm finally testing a leisure battery plan, albeit in DIY solar generator form to double as a camping power supply.
- Renogy 200AH mini LiFePo4
- Renogy 220w solar suitcase
- Victron 75/15 MPPT
- Victron 300Amp smart shunt
- various connectors, cables etc...
All to power the TotalCool TF Extreme 40 fridge!! Plus phones, laptops etc.
Possibly overkill, but i'm hoping that the additional capacity (2560 Watt/hr) will cover any overcast days and/or higher than expected overnight use.
The current offerings from Bluetti/Ecoflow etc are difficult to argue against pricewise but higher capacities seem to ramp the prices up excessively, in my opinion.
Anyway, the first trip away is only a long weekend so I shouldn't need too much solar...
Obviously, it's not in the van to hide it from anyone....

Bought a ticket for the Eurotunnel. That’s us committed to another little road trip in August/Sept/Oct. £148 in middle of August is half what the ferry was asking. Plus £20 off with some Tesco vouchers.
We’ve decided to try doing a return using the Hook of Holland to Harwich ferry which will be a first for us.

Also just bought a Bluetti AC180 from their eBay store. Refurbished with £100 off made it £415 delivered.
That’ll be good for charging the e-bike when I’m away for a few days.

We'll be there in August/September (12th-20th August in France) then into Spain. If you are doing Spain again, and passing our neck of the woods, you are welcome to visit.

We’re doing Switzerland, Italy, Croatia and Germany so won’t be near your place unfortunately.
Finally managed to get round to using these cleaning products from @Nutexa Frictions. See below the before, during and after pics of the epic effect the wheel cleaner had on my manky wheels.
No prewash, just straight on and after a little dwell time a quick agitation with an old brush and then power wash off to leave them nice and clean. All 4 wheels in 30 mins!
Now I just need a barrel brush to get in the back bits and I'm sure this stuff will get them gleaming. Thanks Russ!
