You know, if the weight distribution isn't too messed up and the additional swing is manageable, having additional storage added to the back of the MH might actually be a reasonable idea. Store things like the grill in there that you would never use inside. Have seen quite a few rigs with stuff on hitch carriers out the back.
I'll have to weigh it once I get it closer to being finished to see where the weights are. I'll need to weigh each corner, as weighing by the axle and dividing by 2, doesn't give accurate results. It's easy for one corner to be heavier than the one of the other side. Just like weighing the race car.
Here's a setup on a van with boxes on the back. They are hinged from each side, so the rear doors of the van can be opened.
It would be easy to add a board in between the opened boxes, to create a table/workbench back there as well.
