Van Camper DIY Tips for the VW Bus & California

IMMARANDA, the VANZEIT ® clothesline gets you sooo much width to hang your laundry and can stay outdoors.You have more space in your California to relax on vacation. The IMMARANDA clothesline holders fit on both sides - on the driver's side as well as on the passenger side - on the original Multirail of Volkswagen T5, T6 and T6.1 California. The rails with the same name from other manufacturers have different dimensions.The product does not fit on them! Clothesline in no time at all To attach, IMMARANDAs are each screwed to the Multirail with keder stones - included in the scope of delivery (!). Detaching and relocating them on the Multirail is correspondingly easy and possible along the entire length of the keder. The holders can remain on the Multirail during the journey and on camping holidays.To do this, they are simply folded up and can be pushed together compactly. Compactly folded, it can stay on your Multirail while driving. To hang up the laundry, simply pull it to the desired position, unfold it again and tighten the line. Done. The longer the better You can use the holder individually as a clothes rail, or together with a keder stone (e.g. our G.WINDIG) as a simple clothes line, e.g. one of each side of your bus. Each clothesline holder has three positions for the lines to prevent them from slipping. There are longitudinal slots in the arm on one side so that you can use webbing up to 25 mm wide as a clothesline. The strap line is significantly stronger than typical laundry and rubber lines and is supplied in 8 meters length. At which length you use Multirail ... you can decide freely. From Calicampers for Calicampers The washers uniquely made for VANZEIT ® between the clothesline bar and the VW-California-Multirail are UV-resistant and weather proof. The washers completely cover the end of the base, prevent scratching of the anodised surface and ensure a firm hold on your VW bus. The length is such that IMMARANDA even fits perfectly in the storage compartments of the 3-seater sleeper bench of the VW California Beach and VW Multivan, and in the 2-seater sleeper bench of the California Coast, Ocean and Comfortline anyway :) IMMARANDA dimensions in detail The scope of delivery includes two holders for mounting on the VW T5, T6 or T6.1 California Multirail. You can find a suitable clotheline right here, our ZIEHLEINE. Pictured accessories are not included. The images are similar, subject to change and errors. P.S. Use slot nuts instead of keder stones and M5 screws instead of star grip nuts ... bang ... IMMARANDA also fits the groove profiles of roof rack systems from Frontrunner and others.

The Plug-And-Camp System for Seat Consoles BLEIBTDRAN! Plastic coverings for the seat consoles are rarely attractive ex works. It is hardly possible to fit anything else on them. When retrofitting swivel consoles, the original trim above the console tends to get in the way ... The space under the seat consoles is popular as additional storage space for e.g. the high-visibility waistcoats and the on-board tools, for a safe for depositing or even an additional battery and electrics. With the VANZEIT ® trim BLEIBTDRAN for the console on the driver's seat and passenger seat of VW T5 and T6 as well as T6.1 you get a beautiful AND functional cover. There is plenty of space for your bus accessories on the flat, continuous front of BLEIBTDRAN. All variants are perfect for do-it-yourselfers and are easily interchangeable with the plastic cover from the factory: Just pull the plastic off the BLEIBTDRAN and you're done - it fits directly with swivel brackets. BLEIBTDRAN Uni models The "Uni" version of the panelling comes to you with a continuous front. In untreated multiplex board, you can design the console panelling as you wish, from the colour to the accessories fitted. However, it also looks quite chic when only waxed. Alternatively in anthracite and soft-touch foiled, BLEIBTDRAN brings a discreet and aesthetic trim to the consoles in your bus. The soft-touch foiling gives the cover a velvety feel and protects the wood from dirt and moisture. BLEIBTDRAN models with groove profile With groove profiles, the variants of the covering of the driver's seat consoles correspond to the "Uni" models. In addition, the models each have four groove profiles - groove 5, 160 mm each. In the untreated Multiplex panels the profiles are silver-coloured, in the foiled fronts black. With slot nuts or hammer nuts, for example, you can attach luggage nets, Quickfist holders or similar to BLEIBTDRAN very quickly and easily. More BUSSTOFF accessories are on the way ...

Models of BLEIBTDRANfor electric extensions In addition to the grooved profile versions, the models of the cladding for electrical extensions have a recess of 145 x 80 mm in the middle. The recesses can be used to accommodate switches and sockets for USB, 12V and 230V, etc., using sheet metal or e.g. individual 3D printing. BLEIBTDRAN can be secured at the back of the console to prevent it from being pulled in when used with earthed plugs etc: Well thought-out down to the last detail.  For the standardised cut-out, your BLEIBTDRAN console extension comes with a matching cover that can be screwed on tightly. Inside the cover, you can then guide your components into the living space in the grid of your choice: Sugar. Suitable camping electrics are on the way ...

Suitable vehicle models The fairing currently fits two variants of VW Buses and for the T5, T6 and T6.1 models: (1) for the VW Bus with level floor, Transporter and Caravelle and (2) for VW Buses with different floor levels between the driver's compartment and the living area - VW California, Multivan and buses with self-installed floors. The maximum compensable floor level is about 3.5 cm (e.g. 3 cm floor and 0.5 cm covering). With all this, the BLEIBTDRAN console panelling is also absolutely leasable! It is simply plugged in without any screwing, gluing, bonding, etc. - Plug-And-Camp - original BUSSTOFF. Tip: additional storage space can also be quickly created on the plastic trim panels: Extra storage net on driver and passenger seat

The all-in-one profile: Clothes hooks, clothes rail, wardrobe, shelf, rack, key rail, kitchen utensil holder, magnetic strip, ... up to the overhead cabinet ... it all fits, fits always, and looks good while doing it. Checked Off ✔️ Hooks for jackets, hooks for the base cap, hooks for the backpack, hooks for Sunnersta, ... it's like with shrimp and Forrest Gump. With the unimaginative ones on Etsy and elsewhere, you can find them all. Few hold, most look like they are, and - "strangely" - they all look the same. Now you can surf, research, compare, ... and waste your time to find the best for you. It's the same sauce. "Yes, but my idea doesn't fit there anyway." Why isn't there just a single way for me to attach what I like? You've found it. The one to hold them all I've tried it all... Airline tracks, C-tracks, rack tracks, sliding tracks, groove profiles up and down... Both in appearance - aluminum silver, anodized - and in function, this profile has proven itself in our camping for years. You might already know it from its use in my simple roof cabinet for hanging under the pop-up roof. The lightweight profile is made of aluminum, has a 6mm groove, and allows mounting with normal machine screws along its entire length (590 mm). It accommodates M3, M4, M5, and M6 threads.You simply insert a T-slot nut of your choice into the profile where you want it and tighten your accessory with a screw. It's as simple as that. Machine What? Machine? Yes, that's an unbeatable advantage. In times of half-blind and brain-dead post-turtles ( aka politicians in Germany ), where inflation outside the statistical basket knows no bounds, and procurement only knows red lines... ... having a standardized part from mechanical engineering that remains available for the foreseeable future is a dream. And there's no need for a "fact check":In mechanical engineering internationally proven for decades - this part holds. Rock solid. Up to the Roof Under the pop-up roof, the VANRAIL system profile finds secure support on the proven profiles of my "old Swede." 2mm stainless steel even supports a full-grown pull-up in the sliding door. Look who's hanging there... Two profiles (1x base and 1x extension) fit next to each other on each side, giving you the full available width below the headliner for mounting. A connector joins them simply. At VANZEIT ®, of course Of course, the VANRAILs fit on both the driver's side and the passenger's side. To protect the bed frame and the interior of your VW California, the backs of the two attachments in the pop-up roof are felted. The roof can, of course, be closed with the rail mounted. Inspiration Nicole and I have tested which furnishings in camper's everyday life fit on the VANRAIL and make your bus life easier. Practical: magnetic strip for, e.g., cutlery above the mini kitchen A handle knob as a coat hook ... endless variations :)) Now a basic: IKEA Sunnersta rod How about a tablet holder, IKEA Good for dish towels, hand towels, ... Always at hand :] (Soap) dish for small items, e.g., the keychain Elegant! Steel clothes rod Super stable clothes hooks for the wardrobe For some, a picture ledge, for others, probably the cheapest shelf Do you already have an idea of what you'll attach to your VANRAIL?Feel free to write to me with an email. I look forward to it! I will add additional IKEA hacks with the system profile and other furnishings from the blue-yellow furniture store in the campervan to the blog post with my DIY bus hacks for VW California.

You can simply hang the DURSTIG bus fabric cup holder on the rail of the kitchen unit in the VW California or Multivan - T5, T6 and T6.1. In the VW California Beach and Multivan, you simply hang it in the multi-purpose rail in the panelling on the driver's side. Works great :)) The cup holder fits glasses, bottles, etc. up to 77 mm in diameter (secured for transport in the holder) or 82 x 88 mm (on the folded-down lid). After use, it can simply be folded down and left on the rail without rattling, or it can be stored in a drawer. This leaves more space on the table when eating on the bus - great! The items shown in the pictures in the holder are not included in the scope of delivery. The gallery shows the cup holder in use. The holder is made of plastic and 2 steel screws with nuts. The illustrations are similar, subject to change and errors excepted.

The DIY shelf system DAGEHTNOCHWAS is simply attached above the bed surface in the pop-up roof of the VW California T5, T6, and T6.1 on the separately available VANRAIL base profile.When the roof is closed, it can remain in place. You can design it yourself as you like. Choose the color of the bungee cords yourself, you can also use multiple colors for a rainbow effect.Add a magnetic base in half or full length.Build a second level underneath with our MUSTMIT or DARFRAUS or sew one yourself. More is on the way ... 🚐💨 Secure storage space While driving, the sturdy sides secure deposited items. Thanks to the front flap, everything remains accessible, even when the roof is closed. The front folds up.   As a roof box and storage space under the pop-up roof for a book, fruit, earrings, sunglasses ... there's still room for more! With extra hanging options For some, just a few mountain peaks, others associate them with the dunes from their last visit to the beach. But they are simply practical: There are 3 additional hooks on the front for hanging tea towels, oven mitts and the like. You can position the hooks either on the left or right. There is an additional hook on each side. Extra hooks on the front and both sides   Made for California The shelf that fits snugly against the VW California panel profile only protrudes 127 mm into the interior.The remaining 58 mm extend into the window frame. The lighting remains unobstructed. The timeless, curved aluminum front at the leading edge not only prevents injuries.It also, together with the real wood front cover, matches the interior design of the California and Multivan.  Configure your Calishelf There's still more. At the bottom, the system base with three cross-strung rubber cords provides extra space for kitchen utensils, chalk bags (great for cutlery too!), and more. 5 elongated holes in the system base for expansions   At the front, bottom, left, and right, there is plenty of space on the rubber bands for your camping utensils.

(illustration still with the previous series) What's possible for you? Optionally magnetic. The system base is made of birch plywood. Optional floor plates in half the width of the shelf each expand the possibilities for e.g. the Silwy range or magnetic fastenings. This allows you to easily and quickly add further hanging options for towels, pot holders, and more with the magnetic hooks ZIEHAN available as accessories. Now it's getting colorful. Bungee cords in various colors are available for the tie-downs.For the rubber cords, we give you the choice of color in 50-centimeter pieces. Choose your favorite color, e.g. matching the paintwork of your Bulli. You'll get along well with a total of 1.5 meters / 3 pieces if you only want to tension the floor.With 2 meters / 4 pieces, it's enough for an extra round, e.g. in the middle of the shelf, for separation, e.g. rear spices and front vegetables, and with 3 meters / 6 pieces, you'll be all-around happy and have room for a few extra loops. Mounting in the VW California pop-up roof You can attach your complete shelf to the VANRAIL base profile for the roof with two screws.If you already have another mounting option, e.g. an airline rail, you can also attach the DIY shelf kit to it. In this case, the two attachment points may need to be slightly enlarged. The additions shown in the gallery and items in the shelf - fruit, cups, glasses, kitchen paper ... - are not included in the scope of delivery. The shelf parts are delivered disassembled.
