Dead Zone Access — 3 Options

~26 sq ft behind the left cab.
Direct answer to your question: Yes — pulling the right cab fully out gives access to the rightmost ~20" of the dead zone. The other ~37" is still blocked by the left cab. The 3 options below all solve that gap differently.

Option A — walk-in via pulloutRECOMMENDED

Pros
  • Full access — you can stand inside the dead zone
  • Shelving holds bulky items (luggage, totes, off-season gear)
  • Left cab stays compact (14") — preserves the simple build
Cons
  • Have to roll the pullout fully out to access
  • Right pullout needs 60" full-extension slides (manageable)

Option B — extend left cab deeper

Pros
  • Massive storage gain — dead zone becomes drawers/shelves
  • All access from the front, same doors
  • Deep drawers great for sweaters, bedding, off-season storage
Cons
  • Much bigger build — more lumber + drawer slides
  • Reaching the back of a 46" cabinet is awkward (need pullouts inside)
  • Roof valley starts to bite into upper-back corners (some notching)

Option C — hinged backdoor

Pros
  • Cheapest build — left cab stays 14", just adds a hinged back
  • Cubby holds bulky items you don't need often
  • No impact on right pullout
Cons
  • Reach-in only — can't see the back of the cubby easily
  • Have to move things in front of the panel to access
  • Awkward for daily use
