We too have a marvellous toasting device for use in our Westy. It's called an electric toaster, I think it cost about 4 quid from Asda. With our cunning Toastabags we can use it to make toasted sandwiches. It even pops the bread up when it's done! Who needs a grill anyway?

I'm not going to lower myself into the grill or no grill contest coz I know that having a grill is best.

However, the reason for contributing to this thread is that to stop your bowl clattering about inside your sink, you can get non-slip rubberised matting which can be cut to shape to stop this - and anything else that has a tendency to slide about in t r a n s i t (I mean in T25!)

Soooooo after me showing you can make toast, and faster than with a grill all you lot with westy envy can only move on to something else :lol: Now it would seem it is putting cheese and stuff on your toast :o Right now to put this to bed. Westfalia vans in their superb build desighn though outside the box and fitted an under slung LPG tank. This way your gas tank is outside and doesnt take up any room inside your van giving you more room in the cupboards etc. Also we are blessed with the option of not only topping our gas tanks up when we feel like it so we dont run out of gas bottles and paying double the cost of the bottles to fill our tanks up from the lpg pump down the garage. We can also fill up in europe where you cant get enlish exchange bottle's but i am drifting here a little. Our underslung tanks have a take off point were we can plug our gas bbq's in that have a lid and act as an outside oven if you put them on low with the lid on, seen in the beginning of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpihoXuIbXk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You can easily pop some cheese on their or even a pizza if you like :roll: now what will it be next now that is cleared up?

This is my Westy,

Beautiful isnt it? Can we please just all agree that westys are the best vans or is it not as good as say a Devon because a Devon is 2wd rather than 4wd :rofl
