Recommendation for extra cup holder

If you are looking to add extra cup holders, I would like to recommend this one.

I bought mine from Cabellas but if you do an internet search "mugger cup holder" it will pull quite a few.

It installs in 2 minutes, expands/contracts for various cup sizes and folds neatly away when you don't need it. Best of all, my kids haven't broken them after almost a year.





I know, I know, it is only a cup holder but if you have kids they are surprisingly important.

Cup holders also important for many adults.

Re: Recommendation for extra cup holder

I installed the same cup holder in my Landcruiser. It works great.

Picked mine up at West Marine. I like it because when not in use it's not in the way.

SMBTX uses those as standard offerings. THey installed two across from the gaucho for us, and we have two spares for future use.

Re: Recommendation for extra cup holder

This cupholder is designed to wedge between the seat.

I mounted it to the wall above my dinette instead. It looks good and holds 2 cups

Re: Recommendation for extra cup holder

This is the best design ever...in the history of the universe and before that even. The Mugger is based off the tried and true Westfalia Weekender design (similar ones came as standard issue in my Vanagon Westy of old). In fact, I think I still have a couple of these laying around (in brown/coffee though). Here are some dark blue ones if anyone is interested. http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/page_6 ... _blue.html (and, Van Cafe always includes a bag of Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies in their orders).

My monkeys...I mean 2-year olds... busted the mugger in seconds flat. I do love the stainless option though: gonna check that out.

You should rent them for stress tests.

Hey bitburger thats a nice black and decker drill you got there. I use mine to drive 3 1/2" deck screws, it's unstopable.
