Thank you... one more question, sorry... are these the adjustable ones with the little screw, or the fixed one hole ones. Thank you.
Thank you
If you see this you’ll know it’s me.
Brilliant! I've just coughed half a cup of coffee down my shirt laughing at that!
Looks great mate. Where did you get the suede?
Suede covered A-pillars and fitted Gladen Appearance speakers
Cheers. Just a private seller on eBay - SUEDE VW Van lining
If I'm honest, it's not the best quality, it's got a slight "jersey" material look and feel rather than suede/alcantara but it's under 12quid/m so its certainly cheaper
Tested my new leisure battery connections, hooked up to the Victron 75-10 with an extension lead to the jackery solarsaga 100w panel. All good
Do you have any photos?
Our Oz spec Cali beach 6.1 rear sliding draw (with kitchen and fridge on it) failed such that it would not fully open. Needed a couple of stronger screws to attach the aluminium edge more securely to the wooden base plate. So… had to remove everything… the kitchen units, the rear bed board, the sliding tray. First time we have had the Cali in empty van
Mode… it’s huge. So took a bunch of bulk items to the tip, then fixed the new screws and reassembled everything. I swear the rattles are less now too! And now have less stuff and more room in the garage too! Win win win.

I removed the small part within the accelerator pedal to allow the ride to be smoother on the rare occasion to put my foot all the way down on the accelerator.
Also, when I got the van from new I had an after market towbar fitted when the electric tailgate was installed and they fitted the power direct to the negative terminal which I know isn’t best practice. The cables could have been dressed a little better too (annoyingly I never took a ‘before’ photo). Whilst installed the MPPT cable to the battery I tidied the cabling and terminated the positives to the top fuse holder and the negatives to the side of the van, scratching the paint underneath and checking the resistance. It was 3.4 Ohms before I removed the bolt and 0.6 Ohms (the same as the short neg cable to the chassis of the van so could be my meter leads) after so proves the paint does need to be removed.
The BM2 is just temporary at the moment whilst I work out if I’m going to keep it:

Didn’t see a notification about this reply but see you have a good answer already. In my case, my DCDC is under my driver seat. I’ve added about 30cm of cable from the charger solar input and ground tails so I can easily access the XT60 cable from the rear of the seat. Couldn’t find a fixed style connector I like to mount it in the seat base back board. Also means I can feed it out the front of the seat base if I end up preferring that arrangement. I then have an ecoflow extension which is XT60 to solar which was originally to go between my river 2 and the solar panels. It’s about 3-4 metres so I just use that. I feed it out through driver window cracked open slightly (with climair deflectors) if I want everything waterproof. Hope that helps.
