While I don't know your model you'll have to pull down the basement wall to see. More than likely just framing.
But you will also see a ton of wires too.

It might depend on where the inlet for your central vacuum is located. Mine (dealer installed) is at the base of the steps, which puts the vac directly under the steps. And I have the "laundry bin" at the top of the stairs, and the vac is under it, so no drawers possible. Our vac attachments sit in the bin, along with our small lunch cooler.

Looks like the one in the photo of the Landmark has the vac inlet below the drawer. It also has curved stair treads but flat surface on the rise of the stairs for the drawer front. On the 4100, the vac inlet is not in the stairs.
What's behind he stairs to the bedroom & bathroom in the 4100 King? I want to see if I can convert one of the stairs to a drawer to put the central vac accessories in; like they have on the Landmark San Antonio.

I too would like to know. It appears to be very wasted and needed space.
I want to leave at least the bottom step open for a place to kick off my shoes.
It might not look pretty but would be better than the pile that seems to accumulate there just inside the door!
And, I love your idea! The second step would be an excellent place to put a drawer for the vac hose.

Hi dimak2,
Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum. Hopefully someone will have been back there and will share what they've found.

Would making the tread a 'lid' and leaving the rise in place be an option? I wonder how easily the tread can be removed, cut and hinged.
If you open the door for the outside fridge there are two screws (square drive heads) near the door opening that hold the left side panel in place. With the screws out the panel will swing toward the fridge and you can see under the steps. Was in there adding support for a tv mount the other day.
