camperdave ,
They're called 'Pathetic Tubs' . :)
I can also see the need for something to be done with those tubs.
Can you imagine being pulled over by a LEO and in your sideview mirror , you see him/her walking towards you carry your plastic tub full of rv accessories ? :E
I added a 60"x30" piece of plywood, that covered 2 tubs, like a lid.
I used 4" 'E-ternabond' tape as a seal all around the edge of the tub, where the plastic tub lip meets the wood compartment . It's now dry and free from road-splash/insects.
As for now it works by allowing me to store some lighter 'not often used' items in the tubs, the plywood allows bulky heavier items to now be supported.
If I needed stronger support in the tubs themselves , I would buy or weld up a basket and use it as a liner , attaching it to the wooden framework of the rear compartment.
