A beautifully made & I imagine, very tactile bit of kit. I’m way too anal to let my van get in any kind of mess that would win this competition so I’ll bow out right at the beginning. Good luck everyone.
We got the first SpaceMate in Germany thanks to your initial review and Simons great support. We had the luck to already get the redesigned plastic latch months ago and we absolutely love the drawer! Thanks for showing it and connecting us to Simon! 🙏🚐👨👩👦🐕
Love the concept and this looks a quality piece of kit ... but I'm not prepared to lose the 'ski locker' space which is perfect for my rolled-up Thule rain/sun blockers!
How can I order one of these, if they are available in Europe because the website seems to only support shipping in the UK? Im living in Dublin, Ireland and would love to have one of these for my Cali. Thanks for producing another excellent video.
I know Simon has shipped these to Europe so I am sure he can sort out for you. If you use the contact page on the website he can help you - spacematetray.com/pages/contact
Great video, Will ! It’s hard to tell from the footage - is the drawer fitted over the top of a carpet ? We have a Brandrup one, which covers the rails in the rear, so am wondering how/if the drawer could fit without having to make holes in the carpet itself ?
Couple of questions, are you still able to access tool/jack set at rear of lounge seat and secondly I’ve read this kit for the 6.1 May not allow the lounge seat to slide back as much as it should normally. Not too clear on the comment on a Cali web site but it seems the van lounge area on a 6.1 is a little larger than the 6? Grateful for a view. Great video
Simon is probably best to answer this but I certainly had our tool kit out whilst this was still in place. I put the bench forward and could get my arm in behind it to undo the screws that hold it in, then went in the boot and unhooked it.
Great 👍 Simon is it possible to use spacemate with backbox mounted ? I have mft systems backbox installed and wonder if it is possible to use spacemate and will there be enough space
Hi Graham and 😂😂😂 if that's how you're going to use it - I'll make an extra strong version for if you. All joking aside, I regularly load mine with over 100kg of tools but they're evenly distributed (ish) not 90kg sat on the edge on a potti 🙈
What a great thing though. I am forever heaving up the shelf to get to stuff so would save a lot of effort. Also with it being a tray it prevents stuff falling out when you open the boot.
Hi, thank you for this video, I have just ordered the trail to Simon. Could you tell me the reference of the USB 12V adaptor you use in the trunk during the demo ? regards.
Thanks for the video. I have hankered after a tray for a while and now just ordered! Great that the pp fits under the back shelf. I use a “Drona” IKEA box to store “stuff” it is 33cm high so think it may not fit. Any feedback on that and if not alternative suggestion. Thanks!
Just checked the original video for this and what you mentioned on the original video was tha wasted space between the slide out drawer and the wardrobe but you haven't noticed and mentioned that the new drawer is wider and that gap is significantly less.

We quite enjoy your videos because they are informative and in depth and helped us in our Cali journey. Been waiting for this one for a few weeks but unfortunately it missed the mark a little lacking any depth of information and details needed to spend 500 quid on the drawer
@@CampervanTime Size, fitment, fixtures and fittings, depth, ability to have the 335 in more than one position, bar clash issues etc. TBH all felt a bit rushed, not helped by the fact you don't have a Cali anymore I'm sure.
@@SpaceMateMHL Cheers - some Q's - do you mean RHS as looking at the back of the van? Would assume left was actually easier as less of a bar there. Does this include the coin mat?
@@DavidParkinson Hi David, yes, I should have said from the back of the van "the 335 fits in the front and rear of the RHS and also the front of the LHS"
I'm shocked about these prices...the main drawer is all ready way overpriced, but if you charge 35 pounds for a piece of plastic or a couple of eyelets, you're just a sharper.

You are very welcome!
Just ordered one now. Cross fingers its worth all the money!
You will love it I'm sure!

It's always a challenge trying to decide what the best trade off is. Would the Thule kit fit in the small drawer if you fitted that?
I think the Thule kit would still fit as the tray is only 1/3 of the height of the long load space.

Graham, sent me your address via the linked website and I'll do you a delivered price including duty. It's not too different.
If you have the seeder … Quick question ? What is the height restriction for plastic boxes ?
Great video, Will !

Yes it is fitted over a Brandrup carpet, but I'm not quite sure how, as this was Simon's van. I am sure he will be along in a second to explain !
Hi Stewart, yes mines over the T6 brandup carpet, I just pulled it forward by 10mm as it shown in the video. Not required but a nice to have.

@@CampervanTime Thanks - I’ve since asked Simon and he has explained that access is easy. Many thanks
Great 👍 Simon is it possible to use spacemate with backbox mounted ? I have mft systems backbox installed and wonder if it is possible to use spacemate and will there be enough space
Can you sit on the potty with the shelf pulled out? Will it take your weight?
Ha! Erm... I haven't tried that, but it depends if your weight and that of anything on the tray is more than 100kg I think..

Sounds like it’s a no no then. Could end up in all heaps of trouble 😂😂😂

Will this support a ecoflow delta max 2 at the front or rather the back
Hi, thank you for this video, I have just ordered the trail to Simon. Could you tell me the reference of the USB 12V adaptor you use in the trunk during the demo ? regards.
It's from Halfords, a twin socket one. I've had a look on their website this morning and I can't seem to find it now but it might be worth popping in.
Thanks for the video. I have hankered after a tray for a while and now just ordered!
Great that the pp fits under the back shelf. I use a “Drona” IKEA box to store “stuff” it is 33cm high so think it may not fit. Any feedback on that and if not alternative suggestion. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Not sure on the boxes though, we didn't use ours with one, sorry.
Would it be possible to measure the tolerance between the 12v plug cover and the drawer? Thanks!
I'm sure Simon can as he has it installed in his van, he'll be along shortly I'm sure

I honestly thought I did mention it was wider, but if I didn’t I apologise. It certainly has been widened to the maximum now which is really possible.
@@CampervanTime Hi,do you have a link for the cig.lighter socket extension,i've looked on the Halfords website and can't find it anywhere.

@California Time Thank you,I ordered the spacemate yesterday, and now it's a trip to Halfords.
Great review 👍
Thanks! 👍
Ordered. Looks great
Great!

Would like to see one in aluminium.
I'll get a price if you want. I priced about a year ago and it was an additional £200.00. If you want to order I'll make it happen 👍
