Tongue Mounted Storage

Difficult for us to make recommendations. We don't know how much room you have to work with. IE: between tanks and trailer box

Here are a few from ebay

plastic

Dual wheel well

Aluminum

Du-Ha


Side mount tool box

Had these on my watch list because, I've been thinking about a box for multiple batteries.

On my TT I moved the propane bottles as far forward as possible , even cutting a hole in the propane cover at the front jack . Gained five inches . To max out the storage I made a 3/8 plywood box almost full width and 30 inches deep. Gull wing lids . Stores 4 six volt batteries , blocks , cords ,tools .
I liked it so much I am gonna make one for the rear . Painted it to match the trim .

You might want to check out TORKLIFT POWER ARMOR boxes they have sliding lids to give extra clearance allowing you to put them closer to trailer. Just another idea.

Since you're shopping,

Take a look at this one by TORKLIFT

Instead of a hinged lid, it has a sliding lid & is locking.

58-1/2" Long.....7-5/8" Wide..... 12-3/4" Tall

Plus they have a factory $30 rebate until end of June.

I used a truck side toolbox. The battery box is under the toolbox overhang for a theft deterrent. I use the box for blocks and chocks while traveling, and for storage of hitch parts while set up.

Thanks for the replys. I am going to see if the propane tanks can be moved forward to create more room. Really like the looks of the TorkLift box, but I am going to ponder on the price. I am leaning towards a metal box since I plan on storing the hitch bars in it.

I had to raise mine up about 12-16" so I could remove propane tanks for refill when needed. Also got soft cover for dual propane tanks to ease access to tanks for same reason.

Here's mine, fits my 4x us2200's perfectly, and the best part is, it was cheap, got it from harbor freight.

I had to cut the propane tray and slide it up pretty far, i also intend to cut the handle off the tongue jack and weld on a lug nut, so i can use my cordless impact wrench as a power tongue lift as sorts, or i can use a normal socket/ratchet as a manual way if needed. That way i can still put on the plactic propane tank cover and then put a hole in it so i can get to the tongue jack without removing the cover. (been considering a soft cover, but i'd rather one with dual zipper so i can just open it where needed for the tongue jack, just been unable to find one, i suppose a soft cover may allow me to keep the tongue jack outside of the cover entirely, which i suppose would work as well.

It will effect the jackknife point a bit, but really if it's pivoted that far, it's probably past saving anyway :)

Wish I could do that.
But my tongue weight is already too high for the truck at 1220#.

If you intend on storing the hitch bars in the box with the batteries, be very careful in doing so. :B
