Gee Bob, I'm at a loss for words... thanks for the compliment!
I have several other projects in the queue. One that is planned for this winter is to replace all the MDF counter tops with solid surface. Part of what started the desire to replace them was that one of those dreaded bubbles appeared in the counter top just to the right and forward of the sink. Apparently the sealant around the sink is insufficient, and after a couple years of cleanings & moisture, water seeped in under the lip & into the unsealed MDF. (Medium Density Fiberboard, aka furnitureboard) Upon arriving home, I rigged up some boards & put pressure on the bubble, and it disappeared as it dried. Now having a reason to replace them, we wanted to shrink the sink size and change to a rectangular shape so we'd have more counter space.
But I digress....

After closer examination of my Sunseeker bins I noticed that your bins seem to sit higher than mine . You have framework around the bottom exterior of your bins that I don't have to install support crossbars, I have nothing to drill into .
My bins are only supported by the top inside plastic lip which is just screwed in place on the edges.
Sounds similar to mine... the lip is/was attached to the inside of the inner side of the sidewall by a few screws & adhesive, and suspended from other points around the pan.
It looks like it has support along the hatch opening, but its only because the inside of the sidewall is covered in a thin black woven plastic sheeting, much like blue tarp material. Behind that is the same wall as you'd see inside the coach, which covers luan and adhered to foam. There should be wooden and/or aluminum framing around the hatch openings. This is why the brackets on the outer ends extends up between the pan and sidewall, so I could attach them to the hatch framing inside the compartment.
This image may be a bit misleading, as I had slid the putty knife between the pan and sidewall. You can see the end of the putty knife:
Conversely, the inner sides are a couple inches from the frame rails, which is spanned by the brackets. See the last image in my original set:
