Another idea: Those tilt out shelves you mount on wall.

Pretty much ruled out any wall mounted storage at this point. Tried again to find at least one suitable place, but no dice. I was going to try to return them, but looks like I'll just hang on to them. Maybe my next vehical will have a little more width to play around with

Side note, IKEA's shipping package sucked. Looked like something I'd expect from EBay. Several pieces of pressed card board held together with duct tape. Package arrived ripped open with one Trone exposed.
Not impressed. Guess I'm a little spoiled by Amazon lol.

You could install a partial bulkhead, either behind the driver's seat or passenger seat and mount to that. I believe Xiggi has some Trones in his Sprinter.

That is what I have...My van came with a bulkhead that I took out...overhead is a piece of the original BH..that comes down a foot...I extended that a little and have my shelf and Microwave up there out of the way...one could always come down yet another foot easily for more storage..just duck...:)

Sitting at the shipper. Had a 8:00 appt to be loaded. It's now 9:45.

The older and closer to retirement i get, the more i have problems with this crap. I can understand 15 or 20 minutes, but not 2 hours. Have a little respect for somebody elses time.

Rant over.

you still dragging around the passenger seat?

It's a fold up jump seat. Has the very important purpose of storing my safety vest between the fold part, and resting a box of tissue on top lol.
I thought about removing it, but keeps going under the heading of maybe I'll need it someday

Although, I could lighten my load a few pounds if I did take it out.

I finally got around to taking the seat portion only and leaving the base for storage as well...

I used the same 4 bolts for the base that came from the seat so I wouldn't lose them...DOH...
