More stability for your tailgate - even with a luggage rack!

Our reinforced tailgate dampers for the VW Caddy and Caddy Maxi (model 2K and SA, model years 2003-2020) reliably keep the tailgate open, if, for example, a Bicycle carrier, a rear carrier or other accessories on the tailgate is mounted.

The extension force of the tailgate damper is 1180 N; this corresponds to a holding force of approx. 21 kg on the closing handle (note: this value may vary with different versions or different temperatures). Due to the lever ratios, the tailgate is also held open by significantly heavier loads, provided that their centre of gravity is „higher“ than the closing handle. This is the case with most bicycle or luggage carriers (see example photos).

When the tailgate is unloaded, increased closing forces occur.

Installation can be completed in just a few minutes, even by non-professionals. The dampers are simply replaced with the original ones. The only tool required is a flat-blade screwdriver.

You can find the installation video here:

The dampers are manufactured explicitly for us according to specification. Manufacturer: STABILUS, made in Germany.

Price per set (= 2 pieces), means for one vehicle the order quantity „1“ is required.

I opted for the pull-out kitchen module for my Nissan NV300.
All my questions were answered super quickly and always in a very friendly manner. I was there for the pick-up and was given a very warm welcome.
The kitchen was a perfect fit and I was able to take it with me straight away.

Satisfied all round. 👍

I met Dina and Tobi in Wels at the Caravan Salon - I was looking for innovations to continue the "self-build" of my T5 Multivan that I had already started.
Then I came to the VANFITTERY stand - what can I say, the Van bed system convinced me, I liked it immediately - I decided to switch to this system and not to "continue working" myself, because you can see that the two have already implemented many things and the system is well thought out. Of course, there are other suppliers, but the extremely nice and friendly manner of Dina and Tobi and the goods on display there persuaded me to buy.
When I got home, I thought about doing it myself again, but soon came to the conclusion that the price-performance ratio was ok for me and ordered it. At first I was told that delivery would take a few weeks (which would have been ok), but it only took 10 days and the thing was at my house. Unpacked, lifted in, braced - done! That's how "self-build" works for me, lol.
I can only recommend VANFITTERY, super fast delivery (at least for me), very nicely finished, great realisation - we are super satisfied and will certainly find something else there ;-) .

After two and a half years, I can still say that the Vanfittery bed module is flexible, comfortable and meets my requirements perfectly. It is quickly (1 minute) extended from a bench to a 2m x 1.45m bed and just as easily converted back again. Sufficiently large pull-outs offer space for everything you need for several weeks, long objects, cables and a throw tent fit into the spaces between the bed and the outer wall of the vehicle. Together with the Boxio (in the front pull-out) and the holder for the gas cooker (in the rear pull-out), nothing is left to be desired, even my dog travels comfortably in the large dog box and even my bike fits in the space between the module and the cockpit while I'm driving. I drive a Fiat Scudo with a long wheelbase, right-hand sliding door and tailgate. A folding, self-supporting awning that is flush with the tailgate completes the feeling of spaciousness. The price and service are also very favourable compared to other module providers. The installation and removal requires two strong people and is completed in a few minutes.

When planning our conversion of a Ford Transit Custom BJ 2024 with a short wheelbase, we decided in favour of the furniture from Vanfittery after some research and haven't regretted it for a second so far. After a detailed telephone consultation, we decided on the right size of furniture for us and were also given a good tip for our planned floor.
The time had come at the beginning of June and we travelled to Postau with our bags packed, ready for our first holiday, to pick up our new furniture on the way south. The communication and coordination beforehand was very pleasant and went very smoothly. We were warmly welcomed and then actively assisted with the assembly of the furniture. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding, we had forgotten to bring a gas cooker with us, so we were quickly lent one for our planned holiday. So we could finally get started. The furniture is of high quality and designed and built with great attention to detail. We wouldn't do anything differently next time. Thank you very much, Vanfittery. Elena+Nils

At the end of last year, I decided to install flexible camping equipment in my EQV300, which I can easily remove again if I need to transport something larger. After many comparisons, I decided in favour of Vanfittery. A decision that I have never regretted. Super workmanship, ecologically well thought-out system and easy to install and remove and easily customisable to the circumstances. Great communication and always willing to help realise special solutions.

We have owned the Van bed system for our VW T6 for around 1.5 years and are extremely satisfied. The quality of the box is superb and you can store all kinds of things, including longer items such as parasols. Even at 1.97 metres tall, I sleep very comfortably with my girlfriend. We also like the fact that the system can be supplemented with relatively inexpensive and readily available Ikea items (mattress, boxes, etc.).

We now had a minor „problem“ for the first time, as a drawer no longer closed. Tobi from Vanfittery had a solution ready on the same day and the problem was solved by tightening a few screws.

In short: We can warmly recommend our sleep system!

VanFittery is a great company, very nice, competent, young people who are enthusiastic about what they do. Important: the flexibility with which the owners go about their work, even with new car models such as our Ford Tourneo Custom, year 24/25. Top advice and great conversations 😀👍. Many thanks to your team and good luck for the future. Carola and Thomas

I still have a previous model, Barefoot, which unfortunately had a broken hinge. I sent an email with a photo and a few days later I received 2 new hinges without any problems - in case the 2nd one also gave up the ghost.

In the meantime, they have changed the manufacturer of their hinges. So everything should continue to run smoothly.

Thank you very much!

I picked up a flyer at the FREE last year, looked at lots of other modules and kept coming back to Vanfittery. Finally ordered this year :)
Super friendly team with practical, high-quality and beautiful modules. I can definitely recommend it.

We bought a camping box for the boot and a box for the sliding door for our VW Caddy Maxi 4.
Tobi and Dina were on site to collect the boxes, install them and explain how they work.
We can only recommend Vanfittery.

The whole team always endeavours to find a solution for the customer. Even if the problem was caused by the customer, everything possible is done to satisfy them. They take the time to respond quickly to all communication channels and agree on how to proceed. A pleasant co-operation, just as one would wish for.
The customer really is still king/queen here. In this respect, many thanks again to the team!
