Driver's Side Front Bay Door Won't Open on 1993 Wanderlodge

Can you crawl through the bay from the starboard side? Or is it too full?

Thanks for the suggestion. Took pictures and got some good idea of what was going on. I was able to move the rod on the left side of door over a little bit and that helped. I will get a bigger bolt to lower the compartment floor more so that I can take
pictures of the right hand side of the door. Thanks again,
