Just digging deeper into my Aldi owners manual at it says “air should circulate freely under bunks, and behind the backrest and cabinets.” I have been storing my bedding in my 2020 T@B 320 Boondock behind the backrest in those deeper well compartments. Should I be leaving those empty and storing my sleeping bag somewhere else? Appreciate any advice.

The problem with storing your sleeping bags or bedding in the far back storage area of the trailer, where the floor curves upward, is that you will likely be totally blocking the lower air passage opening that allows air flow around the rear Alde convector (see photo below.) The heat actually rises up through the opening along the backside of the storage box (located behind the couch) to heat the trailer cabin.
As you know, there is also an Alde convector under the passenger side bench seat. There are two openings at the floor adjacent to that convector, which provide sufficient air flow and the heat rises from the floor area. Also, if you look inside the side storage compartment, in the Alde compartment, and the electrical equipment compartment (over driver's side wheel), there are openings in the lower areas that allow for proper air flow. There are additional openings at the floor under the bed to assist with air flow and circulation of the heat between the rear and under-the-seat storage compartments.
