I use the small center console from GW or other vendors.......Love the cup holders and small size allows me to still step over or move it to walk to the back of the van.

Years ago, I bought a Slurpee in one of those huge cups (actually more tall than wide) and set it in the shallow drink holder of my Chevy van at a red light-light turned green and without thinking I stepped on the gas-guess you can figure out what happened next! It hit the floor, lid popped off, huge mess everywhere. My solution in the Vanagon is one of those center consoles, two drink holders and lots of storage, although the storage bins could be featured on the show "Hoarders" Jeff Stewart ----- Original Message -----
