I had that coach (36GD floor plan) for 8 years and knew it intimately. The engine hatch box is mounted to the floor so it has likely not slipped forward unless someone removed it and did not reinstall it properly. I suspect the back wall has moved backward. Winnebago used, IMO, a poor method of attaching the walls to the coach floor. They used self drilling sheet metal screws and I found several of those broken off on my Journey, causing part of the driver's side wall to pull away front the coach. Perhaps that has happened with the back wall. However, if you see no gap between the back wall and the edge of the floor, it may be that the gap between the metal box and wall has always been there. I would push on the wall at the bottom and, if it does not move, I would use something to fill the gap and try and reattach the box to the wall.
If you find that you must eventually remove the rear cap to fix things, check your AC duct that runs up behind the cap. They were famous for splitting along the side letting much of the output of the heat pump into the rear cap area.
