Our 27RL has a storage area behind the TV, and a lower one behind the fireplace. They are not the easiest to access because I always have to move the dining chairs and they are deep to reach into. But I am glad to have the storage and we use it. I think some models use the space for an outside kitchen. I would rather keep it as a storage area, but have the access from the outside. I think your plan to make this usable storage space is a good one.

Thanks everyone for all your helpful comments. We are ordering a door and hope to install it in the not-too-distant future.

We have a similar layout on our 2500rl.
One thing to consider is the tv mount which is too short IMO and makes viewing from all locations a pain.
We decided a better tv mount ( more flexibility ) was more important than the space issue.
We posted pics etc. of our new tv mount 6/15. Don't know how to link it here although I will try. The added reinforcement kind of screws up some of the place for access to the empty / wasted space ( we probably did overkill on the support mod ), although it could still be done.

Anyway, we love the added flexibility with the new tv mount. Moves the tv all the way out and gets it further away from the theatre seating and tilts so you don't break your neck trying to watch something.
Just a thought . We just wanted a better tv mount more than access, although we agree it's a lot of wasted space and we may still add an access the will work around the new tv mount.
let us know how it works our for you.2018 F150 Eco 4x4 XLT CC Max Tow Package

Nice job on the new TV mount. I agree that it is far better than the mount that is supplied although I didn't find it that bad before I saw your photos.
I would encourage you to consider opening up the space behind to create more storage there and would love to see photos if you ever decide to do something there.
Thanks again for sharing.2018 Reflection 150 Series 230RL

No, I've not thought of that. Actually, I'm not sure which "door at the top" you are referring to. Can you please explain what you are thinking a bit more?
Currently we are planning to put a the door vertically on the right side of the current TV mount. We are thinking of using the same sized door that they use over the microwave.2018 Reflection 150 Series 230RL

I thought you were wanting to put a door to access the space behind the TV, mounting the TV on the door. Putting the hinge at the top of the door.Making it a hidden lockable swing up access to that space. Sorry if I confused you (I do that to alot of people)

It is extremely hard to believe that GD has never had that issue brought up. More likely that it isn't worth the time and cost for them to do something about it, although I'd have paid extra for a better option. I had to use a wire fish tape (and a lot of cussing) to get all the cords like I wanted them in our 2018 315RLTS TT. I'd like to add the door you're doing. Do you have a link to that? It would be greatly appreciated.

I too find it hard to believe that an owner would have to fish wires each time they want to connect a device to the TV. As far as getting a door, we called Grand Design and confirmed that we could order a door but we needed to go through our dealer to do it. The dealer asked us to take a photo of the door we wanted which we did and ordered one with hinges and a door handle.
