Loading Eye

[Norfolk Jim]

Can anyone tell me if the loading eye that fixes into one of the floor rails can stay put when setting up the lower bed?? I only ask as we need something to secure the dogs harness to for travel and when on site. We used to fit a climbing strop around bed frame in T5 conversion and this would seem ideal to click the carabiner into from his harness connector - stop him lunging out when sdie door opened!!

Yes, as long as it is to the front end of the rail.

Great for stubbing your toe when you have to get out for the loo in the middle of the night!

I used a piece of wood 6” x 6” with a thickness equivalent to the height of the loading eye with a hole in the centre to go over the eye. Then a thick piece of foam stuck on top. Much more comfortable.

After numerous complaints of toe stubbing from my family over the last couple of years, we have ditched our loading eye used to secure our dog and splashed out on this one from the club shop https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/shop/product/vw-california-floor-rail-load-anchor-lashing
Seems ridiculously overpriced, but worth it for peaceful holidays.

Looks a nice bit of kit, but £45, well over priced, should be no more than a £10.

That''s what I was looking at.
