Working van

Hi Greg,
I have used this configuration on 4 minivans now.
It is set up on a 3/4" plywood base that clamps to the seat connectors, then
I just put a piece of carpet material, that is larger than the area, so it
goes up the side a bit, to protect.
It works well for me.
Mind you, a lot of stuff I carry, is seldom used, but I like to have it,
just in case.
The van has reflective letters on the windows, so it is a good
advertisement, as well. They stick on, so when the van is sold, a razor
takes them off.
I could send a picture of the side view, with the signs, if anyone is
interested.
Regards,
