Here's my storage solution for over the cab. Sorry for the delay in posting.
I used two Ikea expanding curtain rods (£1 each)
2 Wilkinsons small square washing up bowls (£1 each)
A pack of clamps from, you guessed it, the pound shop!
And a tray, about £3 from Aldi (other similar ones are available)
Extend the rods, and place across the void.
Put a bowl at each end and secure with the clamps. This produces a very firm shelf that takes less than 30 seconds to assemble.
The tray fits or rests in the middle space and can be clamped too.
Don't use it for anything that might be dangerous if it fell on you or your seats.
Packed up, I store the rods on the floor behind the passenger seat, the bowls stack and can be used in the cupboard under the cutlery drawer to store other things inside so no space is lost.
The tray goes in the passenger seat back when not in use.
I also use a bowl as a draining board when doing serious washing up! - keeps all drips at bay.
The whole lot is very versatile, which is a bonus.
The shelf holds a massive weight and is really strong when clamped.
I use the bowls to store fruit, shopping, spare clothes, loose things, etc
The tray can store items which can be moved between the work surface or put up top when using the fridge or cooker. We found that a tray is a good way to de-clutter the worktop.
You could even place a TV on the tray up top if you want to.
I have also threaded a string between the two little loops in the ceiling to make a washing line for your smalls or a red tea towel in my case.. Tied at one end, and the other end long so you can pull it up and lower it. Tie the loose end to the bed stay to secure it.
Hope this helps, here's a picture or two;
