Trailer hitch storage box options

Does anyone have any experience/recommendations for storage box for LTV that connects to the tow hitch? I have found a few for SUV's but there must be something a bit bigger that would work on a unity or similar. thx.

hi
have a look at the Sprinter forum on the Unity sub forum where there are many how to with pictures on what will work with the hitch.  or the modification done to the hitch to get a bigger box.  I even saw one were the owner used a Komo bicycle box as general storage after he added some shelves.

I have put a stow Away 2 cargo box on my Unity FX. It is available in 2 sizes. I went with the larger one with the swing away frame.  Lighter than most and more reasonably priced than most. I am very pleased with it:

Thanks Mike. I ended up ordering one as well. The big one, fixed frame. Is there a reason you went with the swing away frame? it looks like a solid product and I only found one other bigger one, but it seemed too big.

Hi Ted. You will be happy with your purchase. I went with swing out frame so box could be more easily accessible (can swing out so box is accessible from same side as coach door - parallel to side of coach)  as well as allowing me to clean back of unit easier. I store my BBQ, portable fire pit, all hoses and cords, a portable table, ground mat and still have room for other stuff if I wish.

You are absolutely right. My bag fits perfectly on a Curt hitch-mount rack off the back of my van. I fill this with all the stuff I don’t want inside the van plus my generator.
