It goes over the drivers door between door and window but has a metal plate that I'm hoping I may be able to screw somewhere on the front dash, then the cupholder slides down on the plate. Will be out of the way of gett...

Can any-one tell me why this is happening again lately. It's happened before, but usually only last 1 or 2 nights. This time it's been about a week so far. Not stopping me from doing anything, just a nuisance. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Sheba.

What do you call the arm that holds up the middle seat in the Toyota Hi-Ace so you can check the oil? Mine is missing, thought I would search on Ebay but not sure what its called. It bolts on to the underseat and the other end slides along in a slot for up and down.

Now the nights are getting colder and we are not all way up north where its the only warm place, what do you use to keep warm in the back of a Campervan. Is there a particular type of heating that is safe for such a confined space?
