Anyone utilizing space forward of the wheel wells?

I had the same concern. Early in my TC travels I drove through a very heavy rainstorm. The wheel well area remained totally dry. My only concern has been critters. I camped in one area where birds decided to build a nest. Later I had small mice encamp. Mothballs handle those issues.
