Thanks for the detailed post stkoby!
You've got me thinking now. When I removed the panel under our refrigerator to pick up a 12V+ feed for the ARP system I remember thinking about how large of a space was wasted under there since there's hardly anything under the refrigerator. Even though it's part of the slide, there should be no issue with storing items under there once we're set up to camp.
Sounds like a couple hinges and a cabinet catch are in my near future
