Any decent caravan or motorhome shop/dealers should have a bowl which will fit in your sink... :ok

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?

I was away camping in my superior westfalia VW affiliated camper van this weekend as it goes and when we were enjoying our breakfast in the comfort of our camper van enjoying toast with our fry up when i thought to myself mmmmmm, best get a picture of this to show the people with westy envy how us civilized people make toast.

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:
