I built my/our TD with intention of using it as a hunting rig in addition to family travel, gatherings, etc. When finishing the interior of the cabin, I designed a storage compartment at the front 'curve' of the TD so it would provide storage as well as support for sitting up in bed, reading, etc. The compartment extends upward on either side, to 'bullet' type reading lights & indirect LED night lights for when we hafta get up in the middle of the night. The compartment is very simple, consisting of a frame covered by Luan plywood with a top cover of same material, with a lift 'drawer pull', that fits neatly on brackets along the length & at each end. We use it to hold small, miscellaneous items, glasses, tissue, etc. at night & for travel so it's not obvious that there may be items beneath it in storage. I can store up to 5 hunting rifles in soft cases in the compartment & they're protected from sight, secure with the TD doors locked, & they don't bounce around during travel...
