Remember the bike box?

A shelf....yes, for sure. My thought now is to put the shelf low, and let the bikes sit on that..leaving the lower area for 'stuff'. My Yammy 1000 inverter, a fuel can, the sewer hose.

Thoughts welcome.

A bottom shelf would be easier, only need legs to hold up. And if loading/hauling something heavy lower is better. Adding weight that far back could cause handling issues. Might be better to put grill and chairs back there, and the gen up between axles

Looks good to me. Think I would add a shelf. Someplace to carry couple hooks, pulley and rope. Might be useful to get tire down and up if need to use it.

I can reach the tire standing...to actually undo it or put it back, I will likely need some kind of stool. I have one of them thar plastic folding ones...I may need to upgrade to an actual small folding step thing. Because the box is frameless and is so long..it will damage the top if I am walking on it.

Really tho? It won't be me taking the tire down.

You doing it, or somebody else, putting that spare back up there, that box will take some weight, unless you have something to do the lifting.
BTW, make sure the valve stem is down where you can reach it. Murphy's law implies you're less likely to need a spare that is properly inflated.
