The drainer sits on the worktop and extends over the sink, the van you were looking at either had their drainer nicked or it was in the cupboard, they usually sit against the wall behind the kitchen tap. see link

Our chopping board fits inside our drainer and then fits inside the sink for storage, it then has a glass lid that folds down over it, some vans nowadays though have just a sink sunk into the worktop with no cover, I presume the drainers for those are stored in the cupboards after use.

I was quite obsessive though about choosing a van with a good amount of worktop space, it was the reason we only had our previous van a few months, it was so inconvenient trying to cook/wash up when there was no space once the drainer was out.

I sometimes wonder if caravan producers actually spend some time living in a caravan to gather all the problems that some customers may feel are unacceptable pre production.  We would gladly offer our services on this matter and would give as experienced caravanners positive and negative feed back.

Our draining board lives in the cupboard under the sink when not in use, we find it ideal.

I have an older van, 95 model which has a tiny round sink and about 4 inches of built in draining board beside it . its only big enough for a few cups ,nowhere to drain a pile of dinner plates . so I use a washing up bowl in the awning or on a table outside in the sun . I use an asda plastic shopping basket as a drainer, and also use it to carry dishes to site washup facilities.

Lol, so thats where all the Asda baskets go! ;-)
