Do you have a plain GL or a Wolfsburg edition (also GL)? I don't know about the plain ones, but in the Wolfsburg's, the backseat lays out to form the remainder of the queen size bed (with that mattress over the engine compartment being a portion of it). The area under the seat back there can be used for storage (that's where my curtains stay) and it is also the location of the ECU(brain). Thus, you would need to lift the seat up to access it if you should ever need to test it. Warning concerning storage, don't put anything metal on the half with the ECU. There has been a report from one owner that a toolbox managed to ground out the ecu occasionally and cause power problems. When he moved the toolbox, no more problems. Check the archives concerning the vents. About a month ago there were a couple postings of remedies (involved removing front grill and blocking the air intakes somehow as I recall).
