Project complete.
Here's the second compartment on the passenger side:
Looking in:
Same issue as the drivers side:
Brackets constructed and installed, inner frame rail details:
Outer end detail before caulking - this is the material that lines the inside of the outside walls. Our old Four Winds had tin on these surfaces:
Full view - someone got carried away with the caulk, thus it was spread far and wide....:
Final result, floor is flat and supported. You can see the rails through the translucent pan material:
The plywood I had in my "stock" was a bit warped,
but will settle out over time with a load:
Next, I added 6 screws to the forward compartment just aft of the side entry door as it had just three; the new screws are in the pilot holes, ready to be set. Nothing else was needed with this compartment:
Back to the driver's side compartment; Plywood installed:
and loaded with a few things. I usually put my equipment box here; it contains a boy's axe, bow saw, small toolbox, flares, hitch ball mount, etc, so it weighs around 20-30 lbs. Additionally, the lawn chairs and other larger items go into this compartment:
BTW, many of the images of these
Sunseeker Projects can be found in my image galleries.
Now that this project is complete, I'm off to other projects in my copious spare time between work and other issues life throws at us..
I'm happy to hear it has helped others as well.
