Can't tell you anything about how to do it but can say that it is fairly
simple and straight-forward to do.
The man who sold me my current van, had a 2001 Eurovan that he did that very
thing in. Even a sink
on top (inside a folding cover) with a portable coleman "cooker", water
storage and pump in the base of
it. It "locked" into place behind the psgr seat, at the main battery box
bulkhead. He most often removed
it from the van while camping and did the cooking/washing up at the
campsite. Not necessarily well
suited for inclement weather camping like we can with the Westy.
