Come on you lot thinking caps on. I am after a lockable plastic box for the back of my motor home al least 1.2 meters long to hold poles, awning wellies etc. Normal places have already ben tried any ideas or do you have one.

What about making a wooden box and covering it with UPVC cladding.

Have you looked at those one\'s they use on car roofracks Alan , halfords maybe ???

[Charlton]

too heavy Keith, too expensive Dave for what i am thinking of putting in it.

[mark]

plastic \'garden store\'/mini shed type thing, plastic, lockable, got a lid/doors 4or 5 foot long 2 or 3 feet high

just an idea

[Charlton]

seen those when we where looking at other types at B &Q the mini stores a bit big and opened the wrong way, the other boxes look alright, going to have to find out how much weight bike carrier can take. Any more ideas appreciated, personally i would just hoy everything in a big sack and tie it to the rack but thats me.

alan how much you looking to spend ? my gaffer might be getting rid of one of them steel tool store boxes that normaly fit on the back of a pickup ,well secure might bea tad heavy thougfh ?

[Charlton]

Hi Bri had thought about one of those but they will be to heavy, after having a good look this afternoon with son i think we might have to revise our polans as to what we will be able to take weight wise.

[bribones]

what we will be able to take weight wise.
