What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

[wildslammer22]

Better than I expected. Solid, fast and just feels quality. Perfect 0.5L capacity and only draws 725W

Do they do a gooseneck version

 

[Roger Boeken]

Yes thats the puppy. i had someone video a review for me before parting with cash. She has a wandago and the things she didn’t like were the bits that are not on the lite. My only concern is the lack of lid on the solids section

we have trobolo wandago and never feel the need to use the lid. However, like the higher sitting position that you will not have on the lite version.

That’s good to know. I am happy with squatting so should all be good for me. It’s due on Thursday and will be coming to the Isle of Wight with us on Friday

Today got a towel drying rail (other wet clothes will dry too on it) and a small 10m hose pipe that fits nicely next to my works Hoover in the rear storage shelves. No metal parts on the drying rail thing so can’t scratch anything. Also the hooky things are adjustable so you can hook them over the front or rear seats so you could leave things to dry in the Cali while you are out and about or even at night time with the auxiliary heater on. Obviously leave a window slightly open to avoid condensation

Snap bought it a couple of weeks ago from GO outdoors with a 30% off voucher.

looks like an improvement on my previous stove, the cooking plates will save bringing a couple of frying pans. Yet to be used in anger, but test run on a kettle of water worked well .

made a small mod,
swapped the angled gas tube connector for a Cadac quick release Straight coupling, which makes storage of the reg and tube in the underside void possible
also straight quick release brass fitting in the hose near the Regulator (approx 150mm from the reg) so connection to the bottle is easier.

I was aware of the quick connector, but not the other one…can you send me the link of both just in case ? Thanks !!!

Did the same mod.

Best camping stove we have ever had.

We have the quick release on our 2 Cook, Safari Chef and Carri Chef. So quick and simple to plug in and use and to switch between appliances. And if we want to use two appliances together from one gas bottle, we have a regulator with a T junction and two QR ends.

 

[themagician]

Bugger, missed out on that as I didn’t realise there was a discount code. It seems it pays to check everything on here first for anything Cali related!

I usually forget, just lucky this time I remembered. And even luckier I managed to fit them OK

The bin that looks and feels like it’s been provided by VW specifically for the California. Brabantia size A bags (3 litres) fit perfectly.

 

[Maidment_Ocean]

Thanks for that idea, like the look of it, just ordered one!

I’d be wary about hanging it on the open door. What if someone inside closes it? Yikes
