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.
