I know this has been talked about a great deal, just showing how I did it, was able to access 3 points, but not sure how to access the fourth without taking a bunch of cabinets apart. a bit of an upgrade, but you can see the old stuff was very weak and already starting to pull through, used an old leaf spring plate for one, (knew that would come in handy one day!)

Similar to how I reinforced mine. Always good to have a pile of metal just for things like this!

You can access the left front by using a large hole saw in the forward most cabinet, use a hole saw large enough to get your hand in there. No cabinet will have to come apart by doing this. I had to do this to tighten the hold down that came loose.

I pulled through the one under the cabinet so I removed the cabinet and dadoed out the bottom of the cabinet to fit over the plate I put in.  It was a shell model with a FWC cabinet but without the sink, stove etc.   It was so bomber that the next time it just broke the bolt.

The one I cannot reach is the left rear, thinking the cabinet will have to come out to access?

Does this camper have the propane locker?  Is it in there?
