Storage Compartment stregth

[samven]

I was wondering if anyone has reinforced the floor of the rear outside storage. I carried a gp 27 battery in the tub and noticed that it had deformed the plastic tray. I want to put a small 2k generator in there but I am worried it might tear the plastic tub that appears to only be screwed on the sides with no support underneath.

If you put a piece of 3/8 or 1/2" plywood in the bottom it will distribute the weight, I carried a Honda 2000 that way with no problems. I also put a couple of eye hooks in the plywood to bungee the generator so it would stay in place.
