Coming from a T4 we were used to having a front towing eye exposed. We’d wedge in a kids unwanted toy as a mascot for the van.
T5 didn’t lend itself to this approach, so have used zip ties.
Since we’re local to Bristol it made sense to have this chap.
Anyone else got a Mascot on show?

They do on the rear towing eye. This is our grey rabbit was on the first van travelled 9K miles then on this one again 9K miles and will be going on the new one. He has done a few trips into Europe visiting at least
ten countries. He's a beanbag toy held on by a cable tie through pierced ears and round the towing eye.
Very surprised he's still in one piece TBH.

No, just memories and lots of photos on screensavers.
 
My old photography group had a little toy dog called Tiny who would be passed onto members and would travel around the world with them. We would take pictures of him at destinations and once back pass him to someone else. Great fun, he saw so many places that little dog.

We have an eeyore on the dash, which I won from a claw machine in Looe (I have something of a weakness for these machines, which these days rarely seem to give up a prize - so it was something of a shock for both me and Mrs Bobajob when I won it). This makes way for a Santa at Christmas time. Looking for something different though.
Quite fancy one of those wiggling Hawaiian hula girls (not an actual living, breathing one), but not sure if that would be a little tacky. There again, what’s wrong with tacky?

Nodding moose (monkey not ours, left in the van by my nephew)
 
Monty the Moose - bought on the Stena Line on the way to the Hook of Holland (recommended Ferry BTW - used it twice - very good!)

We don’t go camping without Basil.
He’s at the top of the packing list!
