Ok guys I am needing more outside storage for folding chairs BBQ equipment, etc
I am looking at the undercarriage slide out storage boxes that go underneath the Tt, like my slide out table.
They are expensive, so I was wondering what others have done, or made?
Thanks
Coop

I use one of those platforms that fit on a receiver hitch on the back of our MH. it will hold 250 lbs of stuff. Eventually, I'll probably get a tarp for it, but we use it for chairs, X-pens for the dogs, and a ice chest. I got mine at Walmart....forgot the price, but not to bad?

You don't say what your TV is, but I would look more to it for extra storage than the TT. A cartop carrier or a camper shell can create extra space. I would be wary of putting storage under the TT, as there is little clearance there to begin with.
On the TT, a cargo carrier mounted on the back would provide extra space. For us, we just used what space was available inside the trailer - in the shower, on top of the bed, on the couch, etc. When we get to the campground we unload it during setup and store it inside the dining canopy.

I pull my TT with a duramax, and use the back bed for generator, small ATV, extra fuel,
I want the extra storage on the TT so I can leave it there when I am done, and to cut down on load up time, and to give me more space in my truck bed.
Thanks

I didn't know those things could even float, let alone be driven in deep water.

I welded a 2" receiver to the frame between the tires.

I had an aluminum box built to specific dimensions that opened in the front so it could come up to the tail light, takes almot half of the bumper width, and does not stick out past the spare tire. I had support added on the rear to reduce bouncing of the box, and also support onthe other side of the bumper.
