Just been looking at those Yes campervan California sink covers at £34.99
Are they any good? Anyone used one?

yep. They are good. I got a custom one built to suit my specific needs ... by having a lip on the outer side for additional heat protection to the plastic washing bowl

Not sure I understand the utility for the split hob/sink glass cover - just keep the fitted glass sink cover down if you want the work space. Just something extra to move out of the way to use the sink.
Makes more sense for the old style single hob/sink cover.

Agree. Also relegated the plastic bowl to the garage long ago, was also just another thing to keep taking in and out.

Just somewhere to put a hot pan when using the burner. For fear of the glass sink top exploding due to heat.

Never heard of that happen, but we prefer just to pack a few small trivets to put pans on when cooking. We can then use them on the glass or on the table. These our preferred;

They used to do sets of silicon sauce pan lids as well, but i bought my last set at a Garden Centre, they are a lot lighter than glass ones and unbreakable

A folded tea towel does it for me.

I've got a sink cover from Yes Campervan, which I purchased to replace the original sink glass cover which mysteriously exploded whilst I was away from the van (that resulted in a bit of a saga with VW which I won't go into here!). It's well made, fits the space perfectly, and provides a reassuringly heatproof surface. The only negative so far has been that it marks easily and after a year of use mine is covered in scratches and blemishes. So it very quickly lost its smart appearance - if you can live with that, its a great piece of kit.
