I noticed this little area today:
This is looking in the front drivers side storage compartment. Look at the top: You can see clear through to the other compartment on the other side. (You can see the mounting plates for the front two seats--the bolts at the very top.) I'd estimate there is about 3 or 4 inches of clearance in there. Really not much room for anything and it may have a few issues: Probably gets pretty warm in there being behind the engine and above the trans.
Even barring all that I bet there is enough room up there to store a ladder:
7' Double-Sided Rung Ladder - GP Logistics SLD-D7 - Ladders - Camping World
(Not sure if its 87" across though. Thor says the Axis/Vegas is 94" wide but that is further back. This spot is part of the tapered front..does it taper down by 7"?--I could always stick the ladder in at an angle...hmm)
At least I could probably throw my
Squeegee in there.
