5.0 expanded front storage compartment.
I finally got around to doing a mod that I have seen others do ... although I put my own spin on it.
If one removes the side panels inside the main storage compartment in front of the trailer, there is quite a bit of room just crying out to be used. These panels are just held in with a few screws to allow access to the landing gear screws. They can be operated manually via a hand crank if you have zero juice left in your batteries.
Anyway I only did the passenger side for now since I could easily reroute the 1 set of wires in the way without splicing. The drivers side has a slew of wires that would need splicing, extending and rerouting to use that space. A job of another day.
My take was to just build a floor with added 1 X 2's to form a secure spot for a long milk crate. I didn't really want to finish the walls, etc so I made a little door out of the panel that was originally there. I use the crate for back up supples and spare parts, etc. such as a break down snow shovel. The black crate in the main compartment has my hoses, electrical cords, etc that I need each time I set up camp. I'm pretty happy with the extra storage!
