What's in your interior that works well?

There is a lot of good tech on here about drive trains but what do have on the inside that you think works well?

I used 2'X2' foam rubber flooring tiles on the floor that have held up great. I cobbled up a sink base, water tank, water pump and drain combo that can be removed as a unit when needed. Two wires, a few bolts and hoses and its out. The van came with an Onan 5500 generator mounted in the side. I sold the generator and used the same foam tiles to line the old box housing. It's sealed from the the interior and vented outside so it makes a perfect cubby hole to store five 20L Scepter fuel or water jugs. The box does intrude behind the drivers seat but that's the counter for the stove. What do you have that works well for you?

My single best item is the swivel front seat mount. Makes a big difference camping. My interior is uber basic and all removable

I have one coming available shortly out of an 03. Moving over to the sienna seats and the MG Metalworks soon to be released swivel so my swivel for the seats, plus the seats needs to go. If you can't wait i picked it up from the Sportsmobile Store, http://www.sportsmobilestore.com.

After a little sticker shock I found a new swivel on EBay at an RV surplus store for $54. Two holes lined up other two had to be drilled for the Ford seat. Floor mount had to be fabricated. Seat belt also mounted without issues.

I agree, the swivel seat is awesome. I goy mine in a junkyard for only 5 bucks. Ive also got removable interior (stove, fridge sink). Also I have my bed that turns into a full table with benches. I love it when theres down time for playing cards and what not.

The Sienna seats have been a great addition to the interior. We just did a ~300 miles after I got them installed up front and my wife and I are more than pleased with the comfort/support of the seats. I loved getting a chance to nap with the passenger side swiveled backwards during one of our stops along the beach too.

I'm also very happy with my rubberized floor mat. With two small kids, there is no way we could have kept carpet clean.

Very good observation. yah the fridge has "refreshments" stickers (clever right) as well as RCPM from the shows Ive been to. Saw them this spring in Salt Lake. God one day I would love to get to Circus Mexicus.

Okay. I'll add another. Weight room mats for the floor that piece together. Durable. $20 a pack. ( used 2-3 sets). comfortable and insulate. Mine are over 5/8 ply. Figure if one gets damaged I can easily replace it.

Mine were ebay a year ago. (Brand was golds gym!). I have since seen similar cheaper at Harbor Freight. I'm not that kind to my van and no damage yet.

Not van specific but one thing my Colorado has (from the factory) that I really like is that the 2 12v accessory plugs are on different circuits. One is connected to the battery and always hot, the other is on accessory power (actually the retained accessory power -RAP) circuit and only works when the key is on -- plus the 20 minute delay for RAP.

The most valuable interior mod for my wife and i was adding a Froli Sleep System. Our sleep is as comfortable on the road as at home (the Froli is so nice we added one at home too!). It helps keep weight low, allows air flow under the mattress pad, and did i say it is comfy?

Setting the sleep platform up before installation:
