Grand California

That pics shows parking not camping.

Camping is tables and chairs, or BBQ etc.

Sleeping in a van is ok, after all itโ€™s just parked and it depends on what the signs actually say and any force behind them.

Most importantly .. leave no trace ๐Ÿ‘
 
Yeh, we always take our rubbish home, even my fav butts. Signs say โ€˜Overnight camping prohibitedโ€™ no penalties stated, so all they can do is move you on.
 
@DaveBos @kath
Do you guys have the auto dropping type handbrake ?
Think they are standard on grand cali
I have bought one and looking to see if its transferable to a T6/T6.1, transporter unit is shorter and bolts to seat base but cant see how the crafter one works, its physically larger/taller and im guessing it bolts down directly to the floor ?

Any chance of a couple pictures so i can see what it looks like please

Nudge me Paul if no one else comes up with a picture then the next time I go to the workshop where mine is being converted I will take some pictures for you.

Yes it is the auto dropping handbrake. Appears to be welded to the seat base, see second and third photo. Canโ€™t see how to get the trims off to double check, plus donโ€™t really want to wreck the trim doing thus as itโ€™s @kath van ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿคฃ

I guess that there are two different sets of trim as @DaveBos has the OEM blown air heating and with that I think the floor between the seats is higher.
 
@DaveBos @WestySven
Thankyou both very much that really helps
I tried looking at some crafter seat bases on ebay etc and couldnt see a side bracket for it to attach too, at keast now i know thats how it works, not sure i want to go as far as welding etc to make it work for the couple times a year i may swivel the seat !

What would be helpful is the VIN numbers of your vans so i can double check part numbers etc and see if there are any variations on covers etc, i will send you both a PM so its private if you are happy to oblige ?

Still not bought a Crafter yet Paul?
 
No, big boss lady decided we are moving house so think we will have to defer the crafter build for a year or two as dont have the time or the money at the moment !
