The under sink compartment in the bath has no back whatsoever. I see the factory sprayed on insulation and the water heater to the right (rear). It's angled somewhat and it seems like there should have been some sort of removable or block off panel back there, but I see no evidence of such. Perhaps my early VIN hadn't yet been fitted with one or does someone have one for sale I could get? It just screams "unfinished". The only other GMC I have seen under the sink was a '78 not outfitted from GMC. Mine was, so that's obviously not an appropriate comparison. Thanks in advance.

Ours has a fiberglass compartment in the front part of the cabinet under the bathroom sink. Here are a couple pics not mine, of part of the compartment behind the sliding panels.

Hi Larry

My coach is also an early 73 #267. Not much of a compartment below the sink, barely a tissue holder.

That's pretty much how mine looks, Dennis. So... who has one for sale?

Larry,
I removed one from a 73 Canyonland. I have the whole slide unit as well as
the backing for the left side where the tp holder resides. I will get a
photo later of the unit.
I also have the cabinet with mirrors that is above the sink if anyone is
interested.

I answered you over on Swap before I got here. Mine is a later 73-23 and it has a lot more back than Dennis' does but is very similar.
