Something to hold my cuppa and keep the front tidy
Just getting back into campervan ownership with a 1983 VT-20 Autosleeper which we got in May. It's already a part of the family.
One bugbear is a place to put my cuppa when i'm driving. I'm not sure I want to get a dashboard tidy (more plastic), and the space between the seats is crying out to be taken up with a cup holder/odds and ends receptacle that my wife and i could both use. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm quite tempted to make something out of wood but if there's something that is adoptable / adaptable and reasonably priced that anyone can recommend, i'd be grateful.

Hate to say it but you should not really be drinking a cuppa while driving, stop and have a brew / coffee, part of owning a T25 is taking life slowly

I think Itchy is right
it's 3 points if you fart while driving now if you get caught

Methane makes you drowsy so it's understandable, but if you were to be drinking coffee while farting it would compensate but that's 6 points

Not quite suitable for a cup of tea but ok for water bottles and all the normal stuff in a van.
