Anyone seen a fridge and microwave shelving unit that replaces the passenger seat?

Two thoughts
This arrangement is common in expediting, especially vans.
Don’t block your view, this is something you may get tagged with if you are pulled over or worst if you get into an accident where the right side blindspot is involved.PE_T and Farmerbob1 Thank this. -
I see this in trucks all the time. I usually see them strapped down but it would be pretty easy to fab up an angle steel frame around it and bolt it to the floor using the seat bolts.
Cheap Harbor Freight wire feed welder $100. I'd definitely recommend better if you can but it will do the job.
1.5" angle mild steel from a local yard, maybe 2 10' sticks $20.
A little hardware to make it come together.

I removed my passenger seat years ago. Use the space for a variety of uses. I have had 2 DOT officers take exception to what was in it's place. As long as you can still freely exit the door in an emergency, and that is open to wide interpretation, you will be Ok, according to them.
Just design accordingly. I see guys go by with all kinds of stuff strapped to the seat, stacked on the floor, totally blocking the use of it. I simply do not know how often this becomes an issue. -

I'd also need somewhere to do the work, and I have no shop or even a garage.
If I get one built, it will be by a shop, or hobbyist welder. I might float the idea past a community college welding class instructor for a class project.86scotty and HoneyBadger67 Thank this.
