In my RHD Caravelle it's behind the passenger (left) seat. It's a black
lid, hinged at the back. You must slide the seat right forward to open it,
and give a sharp upward yank to the front edge (don't catch your knucles
between the lid and seat base).

My jack, tools, tiedowns etc live in there.

I would think the US vans would have a hinged lid here too. But swivel
seatbases may be a problem...
