24S storage mod

After a couple of events where I had to gain access to the area under the bed on the 24S I decided to put an access door in the large storage compartment under there. This gives me access to the inverter, water filter, HW bypass and a general look at everything in that area.

Like they say, if you want it done right do it yourself. Very professional.

Makes so much sense! I'd recommend that as a manufactures change.

storage mod 24S

What a great idea. I hate all those screws half of which don't hit anything. Where did you get that door?

Also, what is the red handle valve? I don't have that in mine.

Thanks.

I got the door at Menards it's just an access door for dry wall. The red handle is a propane connection that my Brother in law helped me put in to hook up a hose for my grill. It's connected to the pipe going to the furnace.

It's from Menards but it's the 13.5 X 13.5.

I do know that some stupid things we do is a code requirement.

We have an access door that we attach using barrel latches. Door comes off all the time, hard to get back on. When I asked engineering about it, they said if we hinge a door in certain areas it MUST be for storage only. Access panels must be screwed on, otherwise a consumer assumes it is for storage and puts things in there when they shouldn't be.

O.K. now that explains why I have to unscrew the cover panel for the water heater by pass in my 24R. Chomping at the bit to get it out but single digits here in south west Wisconsin this morning. Thank goodness we have that global warming!

This panel requires a screw driver to pop the cover off so it's not that easy to just open it up to put things in there. It does make it easier to get into the W/H bypass and water filter. As far as global warming if you've ever seen the movie Day after tomorrow, that's explains how global warming can lead to an Ice Age. If you want to believe Hollywood. So glad that our single digits are gone finally.
