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!
