Great Kerry. I always enjoy info of what folks are doing to/with their coaches. Wish I could find an easy way to modify the plastic for a couple of cup holders there.

That is next but I wanted the wife to see how much room she wanted and where the cup holder should be. The plastic is brittle and once it is cut...it's done ya know.
I made a quick center console with cup holders....out of wood

Bad photo and you can't see the front side. Four cup holders with modified clip on cup holders that will hold a supersize drink or a small bottle of water. 3 plug cigarette lighter adapter with 2 USB charging ports also...haven't tried them yet with our phones. If they work it will be a plus. Satellite radio mounts there also.
I got one of the Kobalt tool kits during their Christmas sale and it fits inside the bottom and anchors it in place. If I need to open the hatch, I'll lift out the tool box and lift off the console.

Better put in a little drain hole - why? Well if yours is anything like
most the chances of water getting into it is there.
Just keep talking and working on new items for the coach.

What if you took a piece of vacuum hose and slit it lengthwise and slipped it on as a lacing around the perimeter. Would cover corners and you wouldnt need the dreaded silicone

Or you could use the same trim JimB was talking bout for the trim around the windows. It is actually made to trim things like this!
