Moving from B to C

I'm almost done getting the Gulf Stream Vista Cruiser emptied out! After 6 years, I'm trading to an Itasca Viva! I'm sure it'll be an adjustment. The G24 has massive storage under the bed. There's nothing comparable in the Viva, but I think I can make it work if I remove the bench seat by the door. Any body else take that bench out?
  • It looks to me as though the bench seat by the door on the Viva 23L (which I guess is what you're talking about?) has a storage compartment opening to the exterior within/underneath it already. In that case, it's not very simple to just take the seat out and have empty space there. It would probably be practical to replace it with a cabinet up to the window level (a sort of sideboard) or something along those lines.
  • I sure didn't explain well! Yes, that's exactly it. I think I'd just put plywood down to cover the hole. I need cooler and Cambro space. I cook competitive BBQ. That or I figure out a new holding method. Coolers will fit under the table. Really looking forward to getting Viva! Sure has been a chore getting the GS G24 ready for trade. First time out for Viva is 8/21 in Hot Springs!
