Hi Frank,

Thanks for the response, I will look in the archives.  Howsomeever, I
am wondering whether the tunnel between the front unit & the main
unit could be shortened to allow the main unit to move forward to
clear the poptop opening to allow better access to the poptop latch,
kitchen headroom, etc?  I don't know what is in the tunnel, but it's
worth a try?

Thanks,

Tom B.-always looking to make something more difficult
