Thanks, Frank.

I reviewed the photos of your installation when you first posted them
and it's a nice install.

I'm not yet sure about the storage tradeoffs, though, as I've been using
that little locker forward of the water tank for things that I always
want to have in the camper but out of the way most of the time.  I
normally have a fairly large tool box under the seat where many have
installed their furnaces so ... I'm still scratching my head.

Mike
