Fixing Devon box/potty box in place

Post by Born Too Late »

I've made a box to store the porta potty in to go behind the front passenger seat, simialr to a Devon box but slightly larger. Not sure of the best way to fix it in the van though, thinking of attaching it to the rear of the front seat base/pedestal or to the floor with rails. Floor is chipboard

Anyone got any photos of how theirs is attached?

Many thanks

Cabin hooks on back of seat box and eye on the buddy box, easy peasy.

I have a wing nutted bolt that goes through a hole drilled through the back of the seat base that screws into a plate with a threaded hole fastened on the back of my buddy seat/toilet box

Thanks for the suggestions; I've atached some loops to the back of the seat base and strapped it in place :ok
