New store space

There are many areas in a TT that get closed off by the manufacturer that can be opened up for storage. Sounds like your idea would work. You can always put the paneling back if it doesn't work.

Most trailers I've had have had panels in various areas like under the bathroom sink that were stapled in. I've opened those up and have gained huge storage areas. I buy those little gold hinges and magnet closers so they can be opened and closed. Then drill a 3/4" hole in the door to open it, don't need knobs that way.

In our camper, the space under the bedside “tables” are part of the pass through. Easy to figure out with a tape measure.

More involved, but I’d put drawers into those table bases.
Or open them up from the interior for shelves. Shoes on the bottom clothes on the upper shelf.

Yeah, it’s a good idea, but I am not sure how to finish it… How can I make it look nice? So it will be part of the design/color?

I would explore from the storage side first. There may be electrical cables or other things involved.

Great idea, thank you.

Or make a drawer/shelf with a door below. Lots of options.

Because of laws in some states I would be hamn sure that it was obvious to anybody looking that there was a compartment there.

Gee, I never knew there were laws against hidden compartments. How many years will that get you?

Tricky here, many mods can't see just a warning to travelers, think any talk of government action must be political.
Most do not pay attention to what laws their state legislators pass. Because of my occupation I paid dues to a organization that watched what states did, when it comes to changes in regulation of vehicles. (I confess I stopped watching)
For example, Ohio passed a law that said if a aftermarket compartment that could contain cash, drugs, or guns, was hidden on a vehicle that vehicle is subject to Civil Asset Forfeiture, even with no evidence it has ever contained cash, drugs, or guns.
Years before that law passed I had put a false floor in 1 of the compartments under the bed in sleeper. I had no intention to hide anything, just much easier to slide tool bag out without lifting over the lip chest high. For decades I had refused to run anyplace I had to set a tire in PA, so I just added Ohio to the list.
