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. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

The cushion sets on essentially a box. What is under the cushion box? ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

| 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. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

The tile floor is under the box the cushion sets on. If you go through the floor under the box you are outdoors. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

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.

The slideout has to clear the tire and fender...hence, the bench sitting on top of the slideout box. ------------- Mark Concord, NC 2017 RP 179 "Podzilla" 2011 Silverado 1500 4X4 |
