What's behind the rear bumper panel?

[Bando]

I've often wondered what secrets lie behind the rear bumper panel, and whether it's worth the effort to remove it. My search for the perfect spot to stash an emergency kit led me to consider this mysterious space. Removing the panel remains on my to-do list, but I'm curious, has anyone else taken the plunge?

Isn't that the cover for the trailer hitch? If that's so, it should have enough room to put something into.

You’re right, it’s likely the trailer hitch cover, I’m hoping there’s a bit of extra space for an emergency kit, though, so I’ll give it a try.

Have you tried checking the owner’s manual? It is not ideal to stash a medicine kit.
