Under Fridge Storage Mod?

New guy here so bear with me. I bought a new 2021 Sandstorm 306GSLR and pulled the panel off below the fridge. I found a big open space underneath and it seems like a huge waste of space that could be used for storage. Has anyone attempted this or have any ideas? I’m assuming it should be the same layout as the 326GSLR. Thanks I’m advance

Aside from the wiring I can see.....is this an access point to anything of importance? access to relays? connectors? plugs? plumbing?

There’s no plumbing or anything. There’s a few wires and a gas line that runs to the fridge. I was thinking of just adding a false wall inside to cover the wiring but would still be easy to remove. I was hoping someone already did something similar or had some ideas.

I did something similar with my puma 27qbc. You can find a lot of small spaces to obtain space. If you want to view look for my 27qbc Puma toy hauler mods.

I bit the bullet and gave it a whack, luckily it turned out pretty well. It would have been better if I had the proper tools/skills, lol.

those are the original thin paneling pieces that where covering those two areas, they were stapled in place from behind and easily pried loose with a screwdriver, ... I made the drawers and then cut those pieces to size and glued them onto the front of each drawer, ...
