can anyone help me with info about making a storage box for the front of my tt.

i was wanting to mske it from marine ply and bolt it to the tt frame, size would be 1220mm w, x 500mm w,  and about 600mm h,

i just dont know if this would be suitable sizes but would make great space, and not too sure if i use marine ply  this would be too heavy by the time it is full with gas bottle and stuff, and im not sure if coming out 500mm from the trailer towards towbar is too much but it would give me good space for stuff ,

i have to make it 600 h becase of height of gas bottle and i want to have a secure lid on it that can be locked,

any info would be of great help, thanks         HARRY     

Is your Suncamp supposed to have box on the front? If not check your nose weight before putting one on.

For our front box, we made our own by converting a green garden storage box.  Drilled holes in the bottom for the ubolts and put a sheet of marine ply in the bottom of the box for strength (also secured in place by the ubolts) we've had this for the last 4 years on our tt and stored a lot of light weight stuff in there.  Keeps it nice and dry, and its handy on site to store all the kids toys. We've done alot of towing with this (Scotland - France x3, Scotland Dorset x2)and never had any problems.

You need a fridge box.
