  They used to put the air conditioner in that location. Here was my solution to repurposing that area in my 2015. I suspect the task would be even easier in a 2021 as--unlike the air conditioner--the microwave is already set in a (mostly) finished cabinet.

  In those days they did apparently sell a matching door for that hole, but I ended up making my own. I did find it had a tendency to swing open in transit and scatter my stuff all over the cabin, but I devised a simple retention system to mitigate that problem.

  Here are a few pics of the resulting cabinet after microwave removal.  I made the door from 1/4" baltic plywood and found hinges similar to the ones on the back cabinets.  I have a latch on the bottom to keep the door shut during travel.  You can also see the little cubby that I built when I removed the television.  It's quite handy for small items.  That's a nylon flap over the Alde panel to cut down on nighttime light. The Luci light is handy for reading and doesn't use up any battery juice.
