Expanovan question - workbenches

[NDT]

Question for you guys with expansible vans (M820A2, M313, etc) that are set up as maintenance shops. When there are two rows of workbenches flush with the sides of the non-expanded van, what happens when you expand out the sides? Is the idea that more soldiers can work on things on the opposite side of the workbenches? Are there drawers that face that direction as well? Thanks in advance . . . could not find any pics of this when searching.

My M820A2 came empty. The only things i found inside the box was the two boarding ladders.

Drawers work from either side on the one that I had,outlets all around for power.

When the sides are expanded the drawers will open either way allowing access from both sides.
Since my intention was not to use the van as a workspace I removed the benches.
They are VERY heavy and hard to work around. They are also wired into the body.
They are for sale if anyone is interested.

I havent seen benches in any expansible vans(m447 and 820), only the vans(m313) that have sides that fold up and down(are open when expanded)
