Has anybody done any storage mods on the bench seat between the two end cushions in the dining area. Looking for an easy remove the cushion and raise the plywood under the seat. Not sure what is under it plus. It is in the slideout so I assume things would need to be light if it can be used for storage. The left cushion has the electrical for the slideour. The right is for small storage.

There is no available space under the seat cushion.

The cushion sets on essentially a box. What is under the cushion box?

You can use the left hassock for storage if you unscrew the cover and put small hinges on it and install a plywood floor 3" above the electrical connections.  It will be about the same amount of room as the right hassock.    There is no room under the sofa in the bump out just insulation under there.

The right cushion is already prepared for storage. Yes the electrical is in the left. I did not know what was under the center section. Thanks.

The tile floor is under the box the cushion sets on. If you go through the floor under the box you are outdoors.

How deep is the bottomless box? Has anyone looked at it to see if it might be possible to close off the bottom and turn it into a storage space? Our R-179 is at a storage facility right now, or I'd go out and look... Embarrassed

The box sets on the flooring of the slide out. It is constructed on the slide out so it is not open to the ground. The bottom of the slide out is solid. I cannot figure out what might be in there. Slide out motors are on the slide out at the top. Maybe just insulation. I will pot pictures tomorrow. My wife says I am toooo much engineer. 😂
