>> When I was shopping for my van I looked at one that had a safe built into
the bench seat.  The seller had lined the storage area under the seat with
metal plates, and also attached a locking metal lid.

This is a good one!  I would love to have a small safe welded to the frame
or body.  Big enough to hold jewelry, wallet, etc.  I'd also put a kill
switch in there.  Leaving the van to hike or swim, we need only the keys to
get back in, so it would be quite cool if our most valuable stuff could get
locked up tight.

I think the list vendors should pick up on the in-van safe idea.
