I’m thinking that I may at least reverse the hinges. For now I am storing items on top of the left side and just lifting the mat for the right storage area. I store items in the left area that will be seldom used, but the right one houses items like shoes, ice axes, poles etc. A slide out drawer arrangement is in my future (the way it should have been engineered in the first place) but Brian discouraged making multiple mats for this area. I did have some discussion about the under bed storage doors, which as always a PITA to access if you have items on the floor, which I’m sure most people do. The main “L” shaped piece is held in place by a Velcro strip on the door side edge with the rest of the mat free floating, which is no problem at all. To access your now stealthy small storage area by the table hole, you will have to unsnap the mat and reach under. The cabin area mat is joined to the cab mat by a strip of Velcro (not attached to the floor, just to each mat). They are notoriously hard to clean and I am delighted they are covered.Īttachment is simple the area right behind the cab (floor in front of the seats) is held in place by snaps along the angled edge. Lastly, you also get small mats for the steps up into the cab, covering those pesky screw holes that are specifically made to annoy owners by collecting dirt, hair and any other nasty particles that approach. Another bonus, they replaced the screw that holds the bottom of the screen door behind the passenger seat with a snap, allowing owners to unsnap and clean out this hard to reach area. We decided on just bending the small mat in the middle so that it would wedge under the Nautilus panel and direct any water away, which it does nicely. The water was also affecting the cheesy laminates in that area with trim pieces separating etc. I showed them how I had duct taped under the Nautilus as dripping water during fill up would weep into the join, especially as it always seemed the rear of the van was higher than the front, urging the water towards the interior. The other surprise is the fact that they made mats for the small spaces in the rear of the van on either side of the under bed storage. Just a note on the drain cutout, Jon said the hole is too small to bind the edges so it’s left with the raw cut. After I shower I just hang it on the pole above to drip dry. I had some pleasant surprises, the best one being a bath mat! Fantastic!.
