I'll try the verbal picture. Tobin's sounds like mine. Same place too. Box is about 6 inches wider than PP. BTW the brand I have is 'Adventurer'. Entire front (from a users perspective, not FIF) is held on with hooks and eyes on the inside so I don't have to scrape knuckles when loading/unloading PP, it'll slide out. I can unhook the hooks and the entire front comes off. A small piece of wood on the bottom keeps the PP from sliding around. The hinge for the lid is lower than the actual top of the box. This provides the opening to be lower than the rim for comforts sake. There is also enough room to install a TP holder with TP within the lid. The lid is held open with a piece of cord so it doens't crash into the cabinets and places the TP in a useable location. Enough space inside for extra TP, chemicals, small fire extinguisher and other things. You MUST use the special RV TP or it won't dissolve properly with the proper chemicals. The valve for dumping contents from top to bottom pulls straight out. I cut an opening in the box front for this, remember to round over edges. To do it right one should cover the box with the matching upholstery material. Mine is just plain wood (1/2' plywood BTW) > I'd love to see a picture of the box. This would be a HANDY thing to have > when traveling with two kids! - Jeff '80 Westi, '67 Sqbk, '64 Ford Crewcab, '87 Subaru Wagon 4WD Grass Valley, California
