Also in the same image I noticed all of the cabinet bottoms seem to have an inch or two between the outside and inside bottom which I'm guessing allows access for 12V wiring to reach the under cabinet lighting. Have you ever removed the bottom inside a cabinet?
The second image shows wood panels in the bath sink area. There I found two horizontal pieces of wood screwed in which I'm thinking might allow access to the area below. For this mod I'd like to remove the bottom of the sink as the toilet area is very crowded. Before ripping out the cabinet I'd like to see what is happening below. Any suggestions on accessing the paneled over areas below the sink?
To access my water pump I have to lift and hold up the jackknife sofa. I'm guessing there is no way of locking the jackknife sofa in place but thought I would ask as this is not fun
Thanks!

If it is screwed in it should come out pretty easy. There are double bottoms in the most of the overhead cabinets, the only problem is they are stapled together and sometimes glued. You may split or break a section trying to remove it. I did take one of mine apart to mount the fold down Vornado fan that we had. I ended up having to replace the cabinet bottom, but lucked up in that the dealer happened to have a large scrap of the correct color plywood in stock from a ongoing repair. Otherwise I would have had to stain something to match.
They waste a lot of usable space on most RV's.
Cut a broom handle or piece of 1x2 to hold the jack knife sofa up while you are working under it.
