Holding the bench seats up (2021 T@B 320S)

Someone asked how I was holding the bench seats up when working under them.
I used 3/8" dowels cut to 35.5" each. and a couple small 4"-5" sections of 1" electrical conduit fastened to the side of both compartments. Drilled small holes for two screws drilled all the way through in each and then drilled larger holes on one side to fit the screwdriver through to fasten the screws. I then drilled a 1/2" hole about a quarter inch deep using a Forstner bit into the back of the leg where the dowel will sit when open so it doesn't move. Be careful - don't drill all the way through! Dowels just lay inside the bench when not used.

    Well Done + a professional looking battery installation {I'm assuming that is not the yr-21 factory battery bank}

    However . . . since the air8 takes all your rear passenger seat storage away and now you have eliminated my primary canned/bottled goods storage location.
    Do you have any food storage locations left  - - - - -

    We use the microwave, under the sink and the tow vehicle, the fridge, and a cooler (when not extreme boondocking) for food. We gave a pretty good size food bin we keep in the back of the SUV. Not as good as the motorhome we had but better than when we tent camped.
