We've traveled for many years with toiletry bags that are always packed and ready to go. They are 4.5 inches deep. The Escape Medicine Cabinet is 3.5 inches deep.
When we took out the medicine cabinet in our E19, we discovered there were 5 inches behind the wall that we could use for storage, so we rebuilt our medicine cabinet and, in the process, were also able to add small storage cabinets on other side of the wall in the dinette area.
This is a simpler version of that mod. We were pleased to find out when we got our 23 home recently and took out the medicine cabinet, that there are 5.5 inches of storage available!
DH constructed a box w/ 2 shelves and I covered all the surfaces w/ contact paper to water-proof. Installed and attached the box to the same 2x4 supports Escape had used for the medicine cabinet. Caulked the edges, attached weather stripping around the sides (black was all I had on hand), then reattached the medicine cabinet mirror to the wall and added a small magnet. Presto chango... our toiletry bags fit perfectly!
