fifth wheel tool boxes

Yes we are a small group and are always pleasantly surprised to see another on our travels.
We just love the rear kitchen floor plan and wouldn't think of another floor plan or brand.

2007 Tango 2660RKS Fifth Wheel,

Another Tango owner, rare to find on these forums. That is great!

Another option is available.
When we had our truck camper, I realized we had lost all storage with the camper on board.
I replaced the pickup bed with a service body on our SRW D/A 3500.
Worked great.
Of course, it is a lot more expensive than the drop in tool boxes.
We have since sold the camper and with the B&W hitch I have storage and still a lot of room left.

Highway Products from Medford Oregon (those pictured) mades an excellent product. It will last almost forever. I have one of their products. Why would anybody want anything of possible less quality just to save a couple dollars?

I have that set up in my truck.
Put it in Nov. 2006 and it still looks, functions today as it did when brand spanking new.

My Dad taught be a long time ago...buy quality and buy it once.

Well money is not an issues for me, not at all, my issues is more precious! I am already over GVWR, so no more tools or stuff in the bed!! I am already in poundage debit, still have room on the axle, but not going to spend that.

A quick google search shows lots of lower priced tool boxes for the rear of the bed. One is below:

RV Pickup truck tool boxes

thanks for the link.

I built my own. Rolls out over tailgate so it's easier to see and get stuff out.

I have a large RUBBERMAID chest across the front of my truck bed. I also have the FOLD-A-COVER hard plastic bed cover and the front bed opening is just the right size to fit the rubbermaid box.

I can open the front fold-a-cover and then open the Rubbermaid chest lid...



Of course the Rubbermaid chest is not a secure unit when locked but the fold-a-cover I am using is... Everything out-of-sight is the best way to have it.

The fold-a-cover will work with your pictured setup shown in your post. Will cover all the tool boxes and fifth wheel hitch when you are unhooked. It will fold up on top of your front tool box when you are hooked up using the fifth wheel hitch and will probably be a problem getting into the front tool chest when pulling the trailer...

This is how the FOLD-A-COVER G4 ELITE looks on the F150 Ford Extended cab...


I pulled a fifth wheel for a few hundred miles and decided I didnt have a truck big enough to tow it so my fifth wheel sits in my CAMP BACK YARD now.

Those diamond plated tool boxes are expensive but worth it for security purposes.
