Picture of cargo box

Someone ask to see more pictures of my cargo box.     Here are a couple I can find in old photos.  This box just plugs into the 2 inch receiver on the back of my 5th wheel.   It's used to put leveling blocks,  water hoses and other gear I don't want to store in the basement of the trailer.   It's made from aluminum (homemade) and has been significantly useful in my travels.  It's also a great place to put all my travel stickers without messing up the back of the trailer.   I can remove it easily and put my bike carrier on if we decide to take the bikes.    I've seen these or similar boxes on the internet.      [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/1CNhb33l.jpg[/IMG]  and [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/GXCcrgZl.jpg[/IMG

 

 

  • For a few years now I have been toying with the idea of fabricating a weatherproof and tamper proof box for our for our bikes. Online versions are in the several thousands. This gives me some good ideas.

      I have been thinking of bolting one of those patio boxes - the ones to store patio furniture/pool stuff to a hitch mounted tray rack. Waterproof, lockable and cheaper than buying one made specifically for hitches. 

       

  • Thanks for the pics.  So, you just made it to plug directly into the receiver instead of sitting on a cargo rack.  Nice!
