1. The half wall between the rear dinette bench and the closet in the bathroom is separating from the curb side inner wall - the gap is currently about 1/4 inch at the top rail. I'm considering pulling the half wall tight up against the inner wall with a pipe clamp and reinforcing that area with a couple of 90 degree brackets screwed into the upper wall rail and cross-bolted through the end of the half wall outboard of the slot the divider drops down into. Anyone ever dealt with this issue, and/or have any thoughts as to whether this is a workable fix?
2. We generally keep the front sofa made up as a bed full time and park our roller suitcases under it, which makes access to the storage drawer under the sofa on the curb side really difficult. I'm considering converting the drawer front to a drop-down door matching the one on the street side, and adding a hatch in the front wall that would make that area accessible from outside when the top is raised. Does anyone know if there are any structural members or electrical lines traversing that area that would be in the way of cutting a hatch opening about 12 to 18" tall by 24 to 30" wide in the lower outer curbside corner of the front wall?
