Why builders choose this item
Four things worth knowing
Complete two-piece dinette base
The Left and Right benches are engineered as a matched set to form your van's seating/dinette layout, arriving as ready-to-mount seat boxes.
Lift-up flap-top storage on both benches
Split folding tops open on flap hinges with finger-slot handles, turning the full footprint under each seat into easy-access storage.
Built-in power bay + pull-out
The right bench has a dedicated, ventilated compartment to house leisure batteries and an inverter, while the left bench adds a smooth telescopic pull-out and factory cutouts for services like a water tank or shower unit.
Ultralight, premium build
Birch-finish plywood with a Paulownia/magnolia core keeps weight down (Vankea cites up to ~37% saving), while Bamboo-faced doors over a Stormy Sea (DE 5817) painted body give a clean, high-end cabinetry finish.
The details
The Vankea Modular Dinette Bench Set gives your camper van conversion a complete, ready-to-mount seating base in two coordinated pieces. Instead of heavy fixed benches, both cabinets are built from ultralightweight birch-finish plywood with a Paulownia/magnolia-tree core — a construction Vankea uses to trim as much as 37% off the weight of a conversion, which matters when every kilo counts toward your payload.
Each bench opens from the top: split flap-top lids lift on hinges to reveal spacious under-seat storage, and finger-slot handles keep the lines clean with no protruding hardware. The two modules are designed to do more than store gear, though. The left bench includes a built-in pull-out on telescopic slides for easy-reach items, plus integrated vents and cutouts so it can neatly house van services such as a fresh-water tank, shower box or cooling unit — keeping plumbing and wiring hidden inside the seat. The right bench centralizes your electrical system in a purpose-built battery and inverter bay, complete with its own top, back, support panels and separator, with ventilation cutouts to help keep the gear cool.
The body is painted in Stormy Sea (DE 5817) over primer and putty for a smooth, premium cabinetry look, while the door faces are finished in natural Bamboo for a warm accent, and the carcasses are joined with a cam-and-dowel system for a rigid structure that stands up to life on the road. Sold as a standalone bench set — cushions, tables and appliances not included — it drops into a dinette layout in a camper van of almost any size.
