After the double USB outlet broke, I decided to move the outlet from under the table to driver's side.  I mounted the replacement outlet and added a 12 volt outlet.  Now I can access the USB outlets and the 12 volt outlet regardless of the table position.

    Looks like a clean installation DenisP.  How did you conceal the holes where the outlets were previously?

    I added another 120V outlet in place of the USB under the table.  I had added three other 120 V outlets (one under the bed and two at the foot of the bed) previously and had one left over.

    Here is how the front panel and shelf looks removed from the front to allow access to the power wires, outlets, AC duct and Alde system:

    As you can see, the back held and front come out as a single bit, two screws from the front (under the plastic tabs) secure the cover to the sides.  Remove the CoolCat bench seat and the pax side storage box interior, and you have full access to all...

    Thanks for sharing Denny!  I had my 400 built similarly and since I use a CPAP and boondock on occasion I had a cigarette style plug installed in the back corner of the trailer near the inverter to allow use of a 12V adapter and minimize battery draw.   I also had the USB added on the drivers side which eliminates reaching under the table.  One cannot have too many luxuries right?  Thanks for sharing your upgrades and the battery monitor gives you a quick view at night for added peace of mind.....  Well done!  👍🏻

    Thanks Denny.  I was looking for this very information in an effort to retrieve some game pieces that the grandkids dropped in the slot and add a screen to prevent future losses.

    You are welcome.  There have been several requests on how the front comes out, going back to the Lagun table mods to the TaB400.  So when our trailer went into the shop for the floor removal, I asked the tech to take and send me photos as he dismantled the interior, so I coild post then info here.

    As for adding a Lagun table bracket to the front panel, I would add some 2x2 ledgers in there the top at the side mounting points to get better leverage support.

    While the panel is off, I am having the tech move the AC and USB outlets to the front of the driver’s side bench.  He is filling the original location with a matching blank plate.
    cheers

    @simlesss I purchased the AC outlets from NuCamp and I believe the 12 V outlet from Amazon
