In some coaches, there is storage under the bed. This is generally accessed by literally lifting the flat platform under the mattress – often from the foot of the bed. This is an excellent place to store extra shoes and items you don’t need to access on a frequent basis. You may need to use storage boxes.

Coach manufacturers are getting better at sealing these areas from outside dust and dirt. If you have a diesel pusher, be careful not to store anything that is sensitive to heat under the bed, since this area can get quite warm.
