Any decent caravan or motorhome shop/dealers should have a bowl which will fit in your sink... :ok
What a long strange trip it's been

I bought my Westy without ever having seen or driven any other campervans. Stupid I know...... But the draining board is just genius. When I found that I thought, where will the magic end!

Yes, yes Mr Custard We all know you have grills in your Liesuredrive Vans! Iam very jealous. Every time I make toast on my flimsy and sub-standard aftermarked toast-making device I rue the day I bought a Westy.........then I just stare lovingly at my swiveling captains seats and my sleek pop-top roof and my nifty and well built storage and I'm fine again. :|

:) I love everything about our Percy :) especially the storage and the swivel seats, the funny 'ice cream seller' slide window and the little mirror in the wardrobe :) which I'll admit is a little difficult to see in.. :)

See in the picture the underneath of the cooker lid is stainless? That bit folds down over the burners to make a drainer! It even has a handy hole for the water to drain into the sink. Ours came with a piece of foam to stop rattling-standard I wonder?

Have a look under your windscreen, see the moulded bits on your van that are doing nothing? that is where the wipers should be if your wipers were on the correct side :roll: the plastic spacers that are behind your wipers are there because yours are on the wrong side. It also might explane why i have a spacious glove box and yours is full of fuse box, shall we continue :lol: I am on my third van and seen thousands of them, westys are the best and envied by others :mrgreen:
