White box on the front of some bays for?

What is the big white plastic box on the front of some bays for? Just under where the spare wheel would go?

Just curious really.

Its for the spare wheel if you mean the box that sits on the bumper

Oh right. Ugly looking thing ain't it?

thanks

It was an 'extra' on Westfalia buses.

Not sleek, but sort of cool in a Westy-completist-tourer type way, I reckon.
