Finding extra space in a Seneca FS
While looking for a place to put a power strip on the passenger side of the interior of our Seneca, I took down the fuzzy carpet slanted wall in the compartment immediately in front of the rear tires on the passenger side. I found a compartment area that goes all the way through to the driver's side, does not have exposure to the outside and was full of excess heater flexible duct piping and excess power cords going in all directions. None of this was secured and I think by strapping in place and reworking some quick and dirty initial installs, I've opened up a whole new area of storage.
Another area, I've found is the area around the frame work of the slide out battery compartment. The thought is to once again secure wiring harnesses better and create long storage areas.
I like to know how to get to areas and the backs of items. For when there is a problem, like a water pump that quits, you can explore and maybe replace with minimal impact to your fun.
For instance, while looking in area of the batteries, I realized I was looking at the back of the cabin steps. This is sheet metal and a tremendous source of radiant heat and cold coming right in to the cabin. Yes it has carpet over the metal, but there is no insulation Foam insulation glued to the back of that will certainly help reduce the transfer of heat.
Make your Seneca your own, by knowing your unit and what is behind that wall, that cabinet, or what happens when you unscrew that panel.
