Really enjoyed this and I like the concept. Thanks for showing us your van Carl. One comment I do have, please don’t think I’m being too critical, it’s more of an observation, when you ask your guest a question, please give them time to answer and let them talk, please don’t answer your own question, it’ll come with experience and your enthusiasm will still come through. Great video and I’ll look forward to the next one. 👍

@CampervanTime Год назад

Thanks for the tip, we did a few of these takes twice because we had a problem with the audio the first time so maybe that's why.

Here in Africa we would never lower the suspension. You can only get suspension rise kits here, nothing to drop suspension.These are such great 4x4’s, you would really be limiting where you can go camping.

@janetbowen7854 Год назад

We bought dehumidifier bags after seeing a recommendation by Campervanya Sue , they're brilliant, no condensation since we started using them, even on the inside of our roof in the morning, having slept in the roof bed of our Bilbo's VW conversion 😊

Hi thanks another great video. You mentioned inventions, as I have a pop top on my t6 conversion I modified a spring loaded telescopic shower curtain rail with some 3d printed ends to fit into the pop top metal work so I could hang a cab curtain with doubles as my projector screen.

@broadpete Год назад

Another angle, as we obviously all like seeing other's Cali's, is for you to chat to owners about their journey to Cali's... What have they had before, why did they change, what do they hanker after / miss now they have the Cali. You could start by interviewing yourselves 😅

@CampervanTime Год назад

Ha! Yes We could do a good video on that just on our own!! Good point though in terms of the future ones of this mini series, we can ask a bit about that too.

@poornimarai6130 10 месяцев назад

@whysosalty 3 месяца назад

great video chat, but i need to know where the coiled solar cable is from. i need this in my life. perfect for pop tops

@ginabrooks8492 Год назад

Thanks Will and Carl. Such a great idea to feature others' vans. Shame we couldn't actually see the dock but it sounded a great idea. Loved the lowered suspension. Just a question about that - does it adversely affect any future MOT? My nephew always raises his again just for the MOT and then lowers it again! Does he need to do that? Anyway thanks again. Have ordered some dehum sachets - will save me lugging my big one in and out of the van at the end of a holiday!!. Keep 'em coming.

@carlnash7847 Год назад

Hi, I am glad you enjoyed the video, all credit to Will, he's a great Director and Produce and also makes great coffee. No issue with MOT, I have never had to touch mine at all. If you look closely, the dock is in the video (bottom right hand corner), in an earlier part of the video. It was a very bright day, so you couldn't quite see it perched on top of the fridge when we was talking about it. Maybe there is another Vlog in the making there Will ? !

@CampervanTime Год назад

Oh probably... you'll have to make us one Carl so I can show it off!!

@wandango5913 11 месяцев назад

I don’t have any issues with mine being lowered going for MOT but the place I go has a couple of bays, one with a raised ramp and one with a pit. I think it would struggle to get onto the ramp without catching the front spoiler and splitter.

@annamric6597 8 месяцев назад

What about painting the awning box, with good car paint or acrylics, it would take a while to carefully mask off the van and working bits. But if it bothers you? Enough to make you think of spending more on a newblack one. Can you remove the outer box frame to make it easier to paint, you are still going to see little flashes of white interior workings but when done (I think) it will all look good.

@Jay685 Год назад

I'd been meaning to suggest a vid on the lowering/changing the suspension. I know it's a bit of a contentious issue tho! I'd had a couple of T6s before getting a Cali 6.1 and I was shocked at the handling. OH was not happy when I said it needed to get fixed with it being brand new. But it's been great and I'm so glad we did sort it. Not lowered tho, took Steve's advice on that as we weren't bothered by aesthics, only comfort. :-)

@grahams3417 Год назад

My Cali 6.1 is lowered about 50mm on coilovers and on 20” wheels and the ride is transformed. It rides and drives like a well planted, but supple car. Plus it looks epic in my view 😂

@Jay685 Год назад

Yep, drives great, didn't need lowering to achieve that according to Steve @CRS Performance. 👌. We have the 16 in standard wheels still as I don't want to be divorced. 😁

@jamesbrook16 4 месяца назад

Surely lowering the suspension causes problems parking/driving in off-road situations? I need all the ride height I can get. My diesel heater exhaust etc is under there!

Great video Will and Carl. I like the look of the Worx hoover but have heard that it sucks.

How can I buy some brackets from Carl for my T4 Eurovan? Thank you

@robphilpott8560 Год назад

Great video, would it possible to have a bit detail about the Solar panel setup? My big concern is the expanding coil wire from the panels into the van. Does it rattle whilst travelling? I connected a solar panel on my previous two self van conversions but they were fixed roof not pop tops.

@CampervanTime Год назад

I'll give Carl a nudge and see if he can provide some more detail :)

@carlnash7847 Год назад

Hi, I have absolutely no wind noise from my panels or the cable flapping about. The cable is not thin and flimsy, it’s designed to take mains voltage / currents and once it recoils, it always returns to the correct length, I may be able to talk Will into doing a better video on the solar panels if there is interest

@robphilpott8560 Год назад

@steveparlow7322 Год назад

Hi Guys, Just to let you know that I have a black sun shade from my 6.1 Ocean that I had to fully replace as the wind decided to snap one of the upper arms. Another £850 into Listers coffers. Let me know if you are interested, I'm in Worcester.

@Tenebrius1963 11 месяцев назад

Hello, do you know of any hatch struts that locks (like GoWesty has for their pop tops) I have a net storage plus a bike rack and whenever I open the hatch I have to block the strut with a U-shape piece of metal because it's too heavy and squeezes me. Thanks

@CampervanTime 11 месяцев назад

I don't I'm afraid, sorry

@user-nu6pd9pe6d 11 месяцев назад

I purchased the screen and brackets but please don't make my mistake and buy the Anker Nebula 2, rather than a Max. Although the Nebula 2 is a newer model, it does NOT have horizontal keystone functionality. I have had to send it back and order the Max - one bonus is that it is cheaper :)

@CampervanTime 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing - the specs on the projectors do vary quite a bit!

@user-nu6pd9pe6d Год назад

Really interesting video (as all your videos are). Thank you. Would it be possible to ask Carl where he ordered his Jingyang solar panels from and whether they are semi flexible? I assume he made the frame from aluminium to fit the panels to the roof rails. I am wanting to price buying the solar system components separately rather than buy a kit. Many thanks

@CampervanTime Год назад

Good questions, will drop Carl a line

@carlnash7847 Год назад

My frames are made from stainless steel as I have a stud welder and wanted to fire the stud on instead of using bolts, however angled aluminium is fine to use
