Loved the content, loved the B roll too ! 💛

Great video. Interested in the caliboard part. Do you find yourself catching your shins, other body parts, on the fixing rail that you had to screw in? I assume it has smooth edges. At the moment we clamber up onto the soft edge of the mattress/topper.

Almost £ 500 😂😂 must be touched 😅

Hi, Good video and excellent description. We have a wrap for extra warmth, however it can still get cool with cold air entering the roof space via the two breath vents in the top. So we brought a caliheat off Ebay. Summer being here means we we test in October

Good informative video and a good product, bu id be worried that the heater would be going non stop as it would never hit the temperature to cut out,, which in turn wouldn't be good for the diesel heater But it's a good product, i guess youll get warn when you're tucked up under the covers 😂 Thank you for a great video

Self tapping screws

Looks great Tom, congratulations on your successful DIY!

These look like an elegant and smart way to address the limited storage in our T6.1. I have been using the various Ikea hard and soft shell hacks but between stuff falling out, rattling and getting lost and trying to locate the tea pot last night I think I have finally justified this extreme cost. We had our table out last night and I was trying to hunker down to pull out an Ikea box to find our tea pot and it took longer than expected and I ended up pulling every thing out and repacking again. In a small space I simply was unable to get a clean line of site into the bottom of the lower press and nothing was in easy reach. So maybe the time has come to purchase these, hmmmm. Which is worse now, the struggle in reach for the tea pot or my wallet. I love your videos, this once was very helpful, thanks.

Hi all - thanks for watching. What are your thoughts of the CaliBoard & CaliHeat? Shout if you have any questions!

I thought you’d answered my prayers with these boxes….until googled and saw the price. I’m sure they’re good quality but even so.

thanks for the vlog guys! ps also liking your seat covers too. :)

Anyone know if these block the interior lights inside the kitchen storage on the t6.1? I don’t think the t6 has factory fitted lights?

We love the style of your videos. We also got these boxes for the kitchen and the back and absolutely love them. ❤️🚐👨‍👩‍👦🐕

Great answer for organising such a small space, but a scarily expensive way of doing it! However, on a separate note, well done on producing yet another enjoyable and really great quality video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What, soooooo expensive 😮

Nowt wrong with being a storage geek. I am too. Liking the look of these. Lot of money though, but comparable to the cost of good tool storage. I'll need a think. Keep up the good work with the videos; liking the humour and production values. 😄

Thanks for watching! So what are your thoughts? Worth it? Or am I just far too excitable about boxes?

Yep we have considered these for some time. Good video to demonstrate fitting. Thanks. Will def be getting those lights!

Thanks for watching! We'll be running with the shelves for the foreseeable future so we'll be featuring them as a longer term test and review in 'the real world'. In the meantime, what are your thoughts, and if you have a California, would you consider repurposing your wardrobe with shelves? As always, *please do like and subscribe* if you've liked this video or found it helpful as it makes a huge difference to the TH-cam algorithm and us being able to make more content like this. We're on a learning journey with editing and presentation so thanks taking the time to watch!

Thought provoking stuff¬

Great video, space mate is a great addition to any California. What bike rack do you have and have you modified to allow the tailgate to open.

We got the SpaceMate last year and love it until today. One of our must haves for our VW California. ❤️🚐👨‍👩‍👦🐕

Let us know in the comments what you think if the SpaceMate tray everyone! If you have one, how do you make best use of yours? We're looking at getting ourselves a 12v Hub and affixing it to the tray, so we can charge and store our equipment/powerstation etc, out of the way and out of sight, but within easy access when parked up. What are your thoughts?

Fabulous! I've filled up my tank and I'm off....guilt free 😅

A great topic - not done before as far as I'm aware. I've often had my conscience challenged by this very question and have struggled to justify having ownership of our Cali. Thanks to you - not anymore! Lots of informed detail here - just a question of remembering it all! Thanks for losing the music over your chat - much better.

Oh yes and thanks for getting rid of the background music, 100% better!

Enjoyed this topic, been thinking the same thing while we wait for our California to arrive. I agree that the likely long term use of my California over the next 5 to 10 years and stopping flying will offset my environmental conscience.

Great video Tom. Looking forward to more of the same.

Hey Tom. Thanks for this new channel - just the ticket now that Cali Chris is looking at other new VWs and the lovely California Time folks are getting a Sven. We have a Cali Ocean 6.1 and so we are dead pleased to have found you. Good luck on this new venture - a great start to be sure. Take care of yourselves, your kids, your pooch, and, oh, that van!! All the best, Gina

Great first video

Hi good video, will keep watching (for me maybe lose the music running all through video). Thanks for bothering to do this.

Nothing better than getting into the wilderness and exploring our heathlands! What about you?

Hi Tom, was going to comment on your first video, but got distracted, sorry! Anyway, just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed your first couple of videos. The quality of footage and your presentation is excellent for such a young channel….and that’s coming from an avid watcher of TH-cam content. We are a slightly different profile from you guys, being in our late 50’s where our girls are all grown up with families of their own, so it’s just the 2 of us and our 2 cocker spaniels, but looking to start our campervan journey, and currently having a nightmare deciding what we want. As this will definitely be my daily driver to replace my Range Rover, the VW Cali Ocean is still top of list…but sooo expensive in comparison to some of the other options. Looking forward to following your channel and hoping you will appreciate some positive feedback and that this will encourage you to keep your excellent content coming! 😊

Great footage, gorgeous images! En of cours an interesting topic. Good luck with your channel and enjoy the California!

Great Video! Some good tips to consider.

Hi everyone! What do you think? Have you gone for a Self Buid or Professional Conversion instead of a California? If so, what drove you to the decision?
