Dave,

I removed them and filled the space in when I did the repaint.  I
never used the city water or fill port for the water tank, and I
rarely used the electrical hookup.  The fixtures were just getting old
and had the future potential of being a place to get water behind the
panel and rust everything out.  I was fortunate that I had almost no
rust behind the stove/sink unit and I wanted to keep it that way.

Regards,

Dave O
