TheSamba.com :: View topic - Storage ideas wanted -- behind drivers seat

Thu May 10, 2012 8:14 am

My bus is a 78 sunroof bus. I like to travel with a bunch of parts and other stuff.

I'm thinking if I had a cabinet right behind the driver seat, that would be using space I'm not looking at most of the time and leave the floor free.

I was thinking about building something out of wood and using it to hold several milk crates vertically. I figured I should ask here and see if someone else has done this or has a prettier or more elegant idea.

Any ideas or pics?

Thanks!
Mark

You could browse through some westy setups and see what they use for storage. Would look much better than a stack of milk crates.

My old '74 had the walk thru mini partitions behind the seats. I found the space they created to be very useful. The previous owner had cut holes for large speakers in the partitions and I used them for access from the rear in addition to the access from the aisle. I have though about adding partitions to my '77, but setting them back another 2-4" to add more volume to the space.

X2.
We have a westy interior in what was a transporter, and there is plenty of space for tools and spares that are outta sight, outta mind.
