What would you do with this empty space?

I opened up an access panel on my new TT and found a (relatively) giant empty space under my fridge - see picture. I probably don't actually *need* the space but I hate to let it go to waste. Any ideas on what to put there?

I was thinking about one of those slide out trays but I'm open to other ideas. I don't think a drawer would work since I don't want to screw into the back wall (which is the back wall of the TT).

Thanks

Reinforce the edges and hang a door, store extra paper towels, TP or dry goods.

Carpet or rubber mat the floor and store pots and or pans.

Mine came with a door. Store cookware there.

IF you want a drawer, you can mount the rails to the floor. I would throw a pc of carpet in there and put a door on it.

More storage for beer since it's close to the fridge!

Flush mount a small LED TV for those nights when you can't make it in to bed from sitting around the campfire too long and decide the floor looks comfortable?

I would add a shelf and put cookie sheets, broiler pans and other bakeware. Of course, I'm a serious foodie, so I gotta have my kitchen toys!

How do you get the panel out without scratching anything up?

What about a net of some kind and store potatoes and onions there unless it gets really warm it should be a good place

Turn it into a Mother-in-law suite. (Just kidding) The same area in our camper has a door on it, and we keep 2 cases of bottled water in it. I keep it on an old piece of blanket, so we can slide bottles forward instead of laying on the floor to try and reach the back.
