Rear Door Emergency inside access

In my 136 PM the raised bed frame is tight against back doors and above the rear inside door handle.
In the event of an emergency with a need to open the rear door it was next to impossible to open. (Not good)
Today I removed cable to rear door handle and made a space on access cover for cable to go into rear window area.
I then fabricated a handle with a groove cut for cable to run through secured with zip tie and taped in bright colors.
I now have easy access and with a light tug on emergency handle rear door will open.
Copilot is happy!
I hope this helps someone with the same bed setup, make the modifications it took 20 minutes. Be safe!!

Yes this eliminates rear door handle.
In my set up I could never reach it due to bed frame and wall partition.
If you wanted to put back nothing is damaged to return to factory configuration except the small hole in access cover.
Such a simple modification gives piece of mind that second egress is available in an emergency.
