Well, I'm pleasantly surprised! All along the bottom of the rocker panels are about 12 plastic plugs on each side. I removed a few and could see that the backs of the exterior panel (the part you see...

Thanks for the clarity on loading. We like that nice big rear window too and I find myself being very conscious of what's behind us when we choose a site. I want to see nature out that window,...
