The person I spoke to at the warranty office said there wasn’t much under there but didn’t think there was room for plastic storage containers. Please advise if you’ve actually opened this area up.

There seem to be various designs. In my garage (see photo below), a fan sucks household air through the return duct and the filter on the left, down into that enclosed area, where there is a ductwork box, and it blows it through the heater/air conditioner unit on the right and back through the house. Some houses may have room for storage there, but not all. I agree with the responder who said to pull out your air filter and shine a light inside and see if the ductwork extends down or directly to the side and into the heater/ac.
