  • Trying to remove cabinet behind drivers seat

    Found false bottom in cabinet to side of driver seat.

    can’t find how to get to what is holding the part behind driver seat.

    The specifics relating to work done by converters can only be answered by owners of those conversions or the converters that built the coach.

    But generally speaking the fasteners are usually going to be hidden and once you find them it will typically reveal how other interior components were installed and secured.

    Try looking at the area where the cabinet fits against the wall. use a bright flashlight and look for screws that may be hidden by the carpet inside the cabinet. There is likely screws that go down into the floor. They can be very hard to find.

    Have you tried looking under the driver’s seat? One way to mount a box is to first fasten a block of wood to the floor with screws straight down – then drop the cabinet box down on top of it. Then on the side under the seat, drive screws horizontally into the mounting block.

    The false bottom just hides the mounting block.

    Don’t know about your converter, but Angola not only screwed the mounting blocks to the floor, they glued them to avoid squeaks. Then they glued the box side panels to the blocks.

    when I replaced the carpet I never got my behind the drivers seat box removed. The hardwood had to go around not under the cabinet as I planned.

    the carpet may hide the screws from outside the box to the mounting blocks. Try pulling the carpet back.

    Wow, that’s hard core! Guess like Frank Lloyd Wright, they didn’t want the homeowner to move the furniture.
