Replace single 240v socket with double

Hi all. I'm about to install a couple of double sockets in our 2017 540GT Troll and occurred to me that I could also replace the single by the front window with a double so I looked underneath the shelf and think I've found spare holes ready to take that. I've attached a photo and would really appreciate if anyone more knowledgeable is able to confirm or deny my thinking

Thanks, yes it does. One of the posts by Colin states exactly that extra holes are made in the underneath section of the shelf, which is precisely what I wanted to know but couldn't find. It looks like I posted this thread in the wrong section.........sorry!

When I did this recently I also realised there are pre-drilled holes alongside the single socket. I decided to NOT use these in the end. Rather than replace the single with a double (or triple), I added a new double spaced away from the existing single.

Colin is right about Clearcut Conversions. Excellent. And they seem to be the only reseller I could find online who sell the trims to match the current style of CBE products used in the Eriba.

There are great instructions from Clearcut, but they suggest a 54mm hole saw. Depending on which sockets/switches you're fitting you may not need such a large hole. I used a 30mm hole saw for the USB and single switches I fitted. Less chance of breakout that would be visible!!
