Ah! You know it makes the sense, thanks Chris, I'll sleep now!
My thanks of the day go to Ian @Eclipse Custom Vans for providing me with 4 of the bestest thickest coasters made from 12 ply! The logo is almost Ascot Grey and I think the only genuine purchase for £20 I have ever made! I have a feeling they will have more than one purpose in van life.. any creative suggestions?! #chunky
There was a thread with a template on it, and some useful clarification of the drawing
Template for Vankraft seat bracket - wooden insert
Is it me? I can’t make heads or tails of the measurements :rolleyes: from the downloaded template. Has anyone worked it out?
Hi Wayne, thanks very much and glad you like them. Just don't put your glass too close to the edge
The bride loves them and suggested they will be ideal for chocking up the Cadac when we are on a slope! Lovely quality product, with many a use I'm sure!Hi Wayne, thanks very much and glad you like them. Just don't put your glass too close to the edge
Yeah, coaster is a loose description
Oh how I would love one of those, I find myself accidentally having unplanned skin to skin contact with the Mrs on our 3/4 during sleeping hours. Most disconcerting!
Good idea using the foam mats for keeping all the bits off the floor!
Lots today.

Wessex Blue Bio Toilet Fluid
A multi-purpose toilet fluid that can be used in waste and flush tanks, avoiding the need to purchase multiple, separate products. Fast delivery. Shop now.
I didn’t have a space big enough to hide the toilet so I got a matching cushioned lid for it made as well as seat cushions. I then bought matching vinyl and made a “skirt” to fit around the toilet. The end result is a matching potty/poofy.
It’s actually very handy. Not just for the ladies at night but for sitting on cooking or doing the dishes.
The old adage 'everything should have at least 2 uses' certainly applies here! Excellent job(!) @The Flying Scotsman
Striking interior, loving the matching stitching in the upholstery. Do you strap the toilet en route, batten down the hatch, as it were?
Thanks it matches the in your face purple and white 2 tone exterior. I like my bling.
No it just fits nicely into the right hand side as you’re looking at the top pic. My daughters usually in the van so has her feet on it travelling but it sits quite happily into the side on its own. I was going to buy rubber feet for it but it doesn’t seem to need them.
We use it as an extra seat a lot and would be lost without it now. I used to cook on my knees now I’m sitting comfy.
I got the cushions from lusso campers through ebay. I gave them the dimensions of each cushion and they matched the purple stitching on my leather seats. I also got the vinyl from eBay. You can buy it by the meter. I used Velcro strips to attach the cushion to the toilet lid. It’s all real easy to strip off for cleaning.
I can put up links to everything if anyone is interested.
I now need to find a picture of your bling wagon!
Been fitting a table for the front captains chair also.
I bought the table arm off eBay for about £70 it’s a real solid chunky thing. And I got the table made from a place on eBay for £28.
I’ve used packers on the fixing screws to bring the mounting plate out so that the table is able to swing around outside the side door. Doubles as a bar when outside.
I’ve made it so that 1 arm stays fixed the the side of the sliding door and the other arm stays attached to the back of the table and just slides on and off. The table stores perfectly in front of the big table behind the drivers seat.

Beautiful, I love the use of the Scottish negative on the numberplate too!
Thanks it’s the answer my friends and family get when they ask to borrow it. Followed by chance. Haha
