Here are links to bits and pieces, sources of information
etc. that I have used and happily recommend.
|
| Bits and Pieces |
| AS Bikes
- Coventry based company that makes really good aluminium framed folding
bikes. Lots of good advice, such as 20” vs 16” wheels etc. Usually
seen at the shows. |
| Bilbos - The manufacturers
site. It has been improved lately but could still benefit from inclusion
of 360° panoramic shots to give a clearer view of the internal layout. |
| Brodit SatNav Mounts
- Huge range of fittings for most vehicles and SatNavs. Puts the Unit right
where you can see it without hiding the instruments. |
| Cluster Repairs
- Hope I don't need this company for the Bilbo. On a previous van the LCD
readout for the trip indicator on the speedo head failed. This company repaired
it for less than £70. Fiat wanted £600 for a new head plus fitting! |
| Connects2 - An Ipod
adaptor to fit the T5. This fools the radio into thinking that the Ipod
is actually a CD multi-changer and will play up to 5 playlists. |
| Its Time For Bed
- Foam toppers. A most helpful website with lots of advice on which thickness
and density is correct for you. A good quality product that's a lot cheaper
than Ra***lf or J***ic |
| Marcleleisure
- Handbrake lowering kit for the T5. This allows the driver’s seat
to swivel without the need to release the handbrake. |
| Powerbulbs - Legal
headlamp bulbs with a brighter beam. |
SW
Campers - Interior screen insulation mats to fit the rear and side windows
of the T5.
|
| Sources of Information |
| Archies Camping
- If you buy the ACSI Card from Vicarious you can stay at reduced fees in
off peak times. This website has the POIs available for a wide range of
SatNavs |
| CampinCar
Infos - A french site that has a huge list of Aires, both overnight
stops and service points. TomTom POI's available too |
| Motorhome List
- Join this list and open up a treasure trove of information about all
things motor caravanning - including Double Skillets! |
| Vicarious Books
- Excellent source of campsite guide books, particularly ones covering ‘Aires’
on the continent. |
| VW T5 Campers
- Interesting Bilbos owner site with lots of information about using a T5
based Celex. Useful tips on some of the more 'quirky' aspects to owning
a Bilbos. |
