There is quite a bit of storage behind and under the sofa, and I was anticipating keeping our sleeping bags and bed pillows there. I am not sure I want our bedding touching the spare tire (which I intend to keep there for now) and there are wires had hoses on both sides that probably shouldn't be disturbed.
It occured to me that I might be able to cut a piece of 1/8" plywood to rest on top of the boards you can see along the walls and in the middle. I could put my bedding on top of that to keep it off the tire and other stuff.
Has anyone done anything like that?

Not that it's not a good idea, just that you would have to recess the panel(s) somehow so they don't add to the height of the frame.

I am going to put a suitcase with work clothes in the far back behind the Alde. I might put it in a giant Ziplock or elevate it an inch or two.

I'd love to find a way to add a hatch to both sides.

Passenger side:
Driver side:
I have two 26x78 thermarests, two rectangular sleeping bags, two fleece bag liners, two full size bed pillows, and the two PVC bench extensions that I previously posted, in the space behind the couch back. And nothing will get into the area where the hoses and wires and potentially spilled Alde fluid are.
Very happy with this solution, but working in that space was very difficult!
As you have probably already noted, the space under the dowels on the passenger side is continuous with the area where your spare now lives. I use that space to store long items such folding chairs and awnings that I only need to access when first setting up camp. The other side is blocked by the Alde, but I'm sure I'll come up with some little-needed item I can cram into that space, as well.
In retrospect I should have investigated removing the sofa back as it was very difficult working back there.
I was pleasantly surprised with how much space there is behind the sofa. Perfect for bedding.
