Storage Box to Fit Rear of Van

After a four month 24,000 kilometre trip mainly covering Western Australia from the Kimberley's to Albany, one idea was to see if it were possible to construct a compact storage box that mounted on the rear bumper.  It was not to carry even more gear but to make some of the bulkier items more accessible.  Well "the box" has been constructed and it works a treat!  Another bonus is that it has helped to keep the towball weight to about 75kgs. or about 10% of the total van weight.  This is often a problem with caravans that have the cupboards in the front.
