I'm wanting a tongue box and cant decide on a size so picture and advice would be appreciated

We have this one



It's available for $99 plus freight from Northern Tool.

Here it is in action


Sorry about the picture--it was taken with a phone during an earth quake while I was sneezing.

It's plastic (PVC) and very light. It's durable as it's taken a few rocks over time. It's tall enough to fit all of the dirty bits that go in a tongue box. If you want something inexpensive and durable, this gets my vote.

Yep here it is again...about $100 at Tractor Supply. I put a 12v light in it along with my battery.

are you looking to buy or homemade? Here is our homemade. It is 4 foot wide

I am trying to decide on one too. I want to get one I could carry a portta potty in, think one would fit in the one from tractor supply

I just added this harbor freight tongue box to my 5x10 Little Guy Silver Shadow. It's exactly the same angle as the tongue rails and fits perfectly. Don't have a picture yet with it mounted.

If you look at Tractor Supply truck boxes ours is the largest one they have 6' long.

That is a snappy idea! I'm gaining inspiration* from that!

definitely some good ideas I think for my idea it might be best to make one or have one made out of diamond plateand possibly go as wide as the trailer but I do like that light idea

A real good way to find things is to use Google - Image. Just type in what your looking for and wah lah.

I was going to use one like this until I saw the weight was 53 pounds! Didn't want to add that much extra weight to the tongue of the myPOD.

Mightydog, I've found the little light in the tongue box so handy for finding stuff when it's dark that I'm going to add one to the tongue box on my T@B as well.

Then I'm going to add an on off switch inside the T@B for the outside patio light so I can turn it on and off from inside the T@B at night.

when i started restoring the teardrop we found a diamond plate tongue box for trailers. it holds all the electrical and propane and BBQ. then we started taking dutch oven stuff and needed another box to haul all that stuff. so we have a tongue box and a rear end box. it is off of and old touring car
