I just use those camping chairs that squish up into a bag. I fit three into the small closet.

But a member in the Wetwesties had an ingenious hack. She has a bike rack on the back latch. Between the rack and the door are a few large  pvc tubes cut to just under the width of the van. The chairs slide into the tubes and end caps close them in.
