Just ordered one, thanks

I've literally yesterday finished mine that I made out of plywood 8mm. 60cm long x 17cm wide and 22cm height. Fits snug and being rigid it works like a drawer, opened at the top. Whilst driving it is secured with a bit of paracord looped snugly around one of the metal nipple on the side of the under bench drawer.

Thanks for the suggestion, I was only re-thinking this today!

No worries! I put a bit of thin perspex / wood in the bottom just to keep the bottom rigid and square, but surprised how well it fits in the space

I slide it in and the cover still fits on the front.
I was considering making one and taking the back section of the cover off so it was just the front flat section and fixing that to the front as a drawer but this bag fits well and still hidden with the cover over the front.

I have just bought one of these DVD storage bags, and fits perfectly in the space and fairly cheap as well. I cut the webbing handles off the sides but it fits the whole length of the space and the correct width so it doesnt touch the table.https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09CFZKNFW/?tag=vwcalifornia-21

I keep my levelling ramps there. Where do you keep yours, if you carry them?

I keep mine in the boot in the parcel shelf as we don't tend to use the lower bed.

That is a good option. I would like to do that too, but quite often we have had to lower the roof because of strong winds/storms and getting down for a pee a couple of times a night is pretty grim.

Between the front seats permanently (they are in a canvas bag so don’t slip), absolutely fine to stand on if moving from front to back and then if we carry our small fridge it fits perfectly on top of them.

I might try that.
