I used the B & Q deluxe ,u-bolted onto the frame ,and stainless nuts and bolts ,bolting   BASE TO SIDES         SIDES TO SIDES

Works a treat ,no effect to turning circle.

We fitted B&Q storage box last year. Been great.Had no problems with it .

see photos.

thats the same box i bought for my sunncamp ( when i had it) three years ago but never did fit it, only mine is beige with a green lid with garden things in now.

does it restrict the turning circle ? as i always did wonder if it would do because of the size .

 Hi keiron, Been ok with turning round corners.Have never really tried a hard lock when turning, I suppose it would also depend on the cars turning circle.

We drove all the way to scotland with it in Sept last year without any difficulty.

My friend has a wooden box on the front of her Sunncamp but i think i will be visiting b&q to have a look at theirs.

Hi we have just copied your idea for a storage box after being quoted £170 for one in the local camping shop and its brilliant.

But can you tell us did you bolt the sides of the box to the plywood in the base of the box or is it strong enough with just the u bolts to the trailer.

Thanks Julie

Hubby bumped his car this way.  Measure the draw bar from the hitch to the box and make sure that it is still longer than half the width of your car.  On return he extended the drawbar to make sure that it did not happen again.  (He is a welder)  It would not be expensive to have done.
