Hey Chris glad the videos help, yes was easy but you will need to pay UK Tax on this was prob £50+ so just keep that in mind. I use these all the time and i dont think i could keep the van as tidy without them super handy for snacks, tissues etc. The website if you use Google should auto translate and they do deliver to UK, this is a snippit from their terms (5) The following delivery area restrictions apply: Delivery takes place to the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.

Thanks Kev much appreciated

Hey, link is in the description of the video :) need to click on the 'more' link to drop down the description

Hey should be a pic on my channel under community thanks

Thanks glad it helped. Have a great time and make sure you take some food for the ferry trip :)

have updated hope these links help :)

Organised chaos 😂

Yup

@@andybearyaki cheers! I read about some issues with the glass cracking if the clips don’t align properly but perhaps only one isolated case. 🤷‍♂️

Nice one 👍 👌

Hey, yes have had no issues since this video. They look great in my opinion and I have not noticed any additional wind noise.

Thanks for replying , I ordered some from Amazon

Hey there - i think it is perserverance to be honest, shine a light down there from other end. You can even pop the middel light out and should see the rod coming through. All the best Josh.

😂

Thanks for heads up. I guess I was lucky if that is the case. This is by no way a professional tutorial as you could probably see just my take on novice install. Touch wood no issues since installing 😀

Hey yes fitted myself not that difficult just have to lay down a lot to get under the side to tighten bolts. Also you need to cut the trim where the metal brackets fit. I purchased on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174641486576. Happy camping and merry xmas.

Great, thanks very much. Are you are happy with quality and look of them?

@@mancol605 yes I wanted the black no chrome look and looks great in my opinion.

Hi Helen, not sure could it be a low battery (think the front 12v uses the engine battery) i think alarm goes off if low battery.

Hey Thomas i got from company called Inka www.inkacorp.com/products/vw-california-ocean-inka-fully-tailored-waterproof-seat-covers-black-fits-t6-t5?currency=GBP&variant=36320973848741&Google%20Shopping&stkn=dbafca0923e9&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAgeeqBhBAEiwAoDDhn4U_dwQ7lwgD-cw8KSm_kbZPCZBEHeeZVwW-k85T2veEVUuq9fynfBoCkgMQAvD_BwE. Although was a while ago now so not sure how quick they are to deliver etc

HI Tom, no no risk of overload, the cali system is quite clever as well as the mppt controller will reduce input based on battery voltage. I have never had an issue with the solar set up so hope that helps your decision :) you wont regret it especially when you leave it sitting for a while outside no risk of battery damage if solar is always keeping them topped up :) Happy Camping.

@@andybearyaki amazing!! Thanks so much for your reply:)

Hey Cali, these shelves have been awesome (yes i have banged my head twice :) but given have used the Van with 2 kids a lot that is minimal) great for on the road stoarge and access to sweets or coffee etc. When roof down not restricted really as they open up fine.

Hey Thanks for the feedback yes the T7 does look good but want to see it at the dealers to make any real decision :) thanks for subscribing will be adding new content soon. Happy Camping.

Haha not really had the window fully down. I will try it when back from hols. If you drop them slightly, then yes helps vs not having them.

Hey Steve i think this is only perm when you use that front 12v as it is always on. However i have had no issues with the battery drain as long as you tap bottom left of screen to turn only the screen off when you get in and out for rear view screen while driving. - if you dont need the rear view screen on then it will just record in the background and not really drain your battery down.

Hey great news, i followed the instuctions in terms of default settings but i have used by own settings for the output (i.e. links directly into the ecoflow from the 12v socket driven from the MTTP controller) i used a cut off if the battery gets to a certain voltage to ensure the van leisue is never run down. User defined algorithm 1: OFF when Vbatt < Vlow, ON when Vbatt > Vhigh. (Vbatt being your desired threshold) link to the victron help pages. www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/Manual_BlueSolar_MPPT_75-10_up_to_100-20/en/configuration-and-settings.html#UUID-e66362d1-a266-4b2d-4b64-2c478629c072

Glad it helped :)

Use a screwdriver or something flat. Lay a towel on the edge so when you use the screwdriver etc to use to lever it out you don't scratch the bottom edge and then just wiggle it free. It is heavy so be careful.

@@andybearyaki Thank you. Managed it!

Good luck and it is easier than you think. Roger has included some great step by step instructions as well as being available to answer any questions.

Glad it helped happy camping

They deliver I think website link in the description so 50 nord. I have not found any uk distributors so only the German website which is in English so was easy to order and they were reliable.

Hey Richard.. very easy to fit you won't need instructions tbh. If you get stuck when u get just pm me.

thanks i probably didn't give the little mini enough time, i traded it back in and paid a little more for the delta 2. It kept tripping on my air fryer but might not have set the thing up right in the settings who knows but glad you are enjoying yours.

@@andybearyaki yes I think max is 1400W with 1800 surge, so you need to be careful what appliances you can run. Water Heater is 600W so that's easy. Kettle was hard to find a good one, but we found a Philips one rated at 1500W but actually only draws 1300W. Delta 2 is a better unit but just too big to fit in our lower cupboard area. Those eScooter batteries are a really cheap way of expanding your Delta too, 1/4 the price of EcoFlows expansion unit.

Hey George - no rattles from the units themselves however i need either some fabirc lining the bottom or stronger magnets as cups will move around a little otherwise. I think the fabric option will fix it for cups etc (will prob just use some 3m cloth or something) - other than that they are great and have used them loads already so easy to get to things you need all the time.

Hey no worries thanks for the comment - yes trying to create a home from home but you only find what works / what doesn't when you use them long term.

Hey, the main reason was to keep both the leisure batteries topped up so they don't go too low. The ecoflow top up works great as a secondary power source. I tried using the ecoflow to plug directly into the van so can use all the internal plugs etc which worked a treat to boil kettles and top up both leisure batteries if they get to low on a weekend away without having to run the engine.

@@andybearyaki cheers for the reply. I'm using a mini in the rear wardrobe on my Cali Exclusive and plug in via the EHU. They are a great solution, can be off grid for many days with this and the Leisure battery.

Yup makes a big difference :)

Yes i think storage bags is a good idea, we tried packing lots of clothes but as there is nothing on the side holding them in they can overflow blocking the cuboard door from sliding closed.

Thanks, ha yes no accidents yet and perfect height for the kids still eat breakfast early in the morning when the bed is still out. Actually it is wasted space as you never actually put your head there in general.

Yes you can but only if you have something like an ecoflow or similar powerbank with some solar to help top it back up. The heater uses about 400w/500w on low setting so can last a good few hours running but it uses less once it gets to temp, although in the top it doesn't hold the heat well so is pretty much constant if you are in very cold temps.

Yes agreed I think in total was about £80 in duties and taxes which is not great. However I can't find anything similar so in my view worth it overall.

The benefits of brexit eh 😢 great video, thank you

Do you have a link to this item? Thanks

Hey Rob. No still hooked up to the front 12v socket. If you hard wired or using the 12v to test it working you just need to press the on off button on the dashcam mine is touch the screen bottom left this will turn on the screen so you know it is working (if you're using the same dashcam). The door locks question I take it you mean child locks? There is a button on the drivers door you press to lock doors while driving.

Hi Kev. I mean the self locking as you drive away it’s suppose to lock all the doors at 9 mph just can’t get mine to work. I have the halo view dash cam which is slightly different to yours I think. I’ve hard wired mine so it has a live feed to it all the time so if someone bumps you in the supermarket let’s say it records it. I’ve tap my camera when the ignition is off but it doesn’t wake. I used to be good at this stuff when I was younger.

Thanks for the nice comment. Have new reviews coming 😁
