Hi Steve, The only way to take that piece of foam board from under the sink is my removing the cabinet. The foam board has holes cut out for the propane pipes and for the water drain. It is also stapled to different piece of board that is under the water tank storage area. This rigid piece of board is screwed in the frame of the floor, one sew under the water tank. I took the cabinets out of our 86 westfalia apart last night and it took about 2 hours to do. The bentley manual was a great help. I used a different sequence to remove the cabinet since I did not want to take out the linen closet and cloak room (ha ha). The sequence I followed was: 1. remove back seat 2. remove sink/fridge cabinet 3. remove water tank storage area Good luck, Hans 86 Westfalia Cumberland, Ontario
