On our longest trip this year(new river gorge) missing cup holders came up again. My wife said what about that fold-up one that one of our past mini-vans had? Couldn’t quite place it but did remember it. When we got back Googled the vans we had owned Honda odyssey 2002. Quick trip to the pick and pull plus $4.75 later I had a sample. It was a little tall to allow the passengers seat to swivel so cut a little off bottom of mount and presto. I need to install a backer on the inner front seat riser to stiffen the face up a little bit I feel it’s a good solution if you don’t. Mine drilling a couple of hole in your van.

Way to burst my bubble! My google skills searching the samba didn’t turn that up. 
Good news is the wife thinks it was her idea so it can’t I can’t go wrong.
My buddy’s 14 year old kayaked the Gauley both days, we did the new. Mrs. still not comfortable doing it on a release day. They canceled bridge day (Covid) still had a great time if you haven’t been, you should.
Man, the vanagonlife unite is outstanding. Just not in the budget right now! |

Actually, it sounds like it was her idea:

I put these in both my vans. Love the fold down ability.
I had to print some inserts for the cup holder though. The pocket wouldn't accommodate the handles on our coffee mugs.
Local pic-a-part had them for under $5.00
