How does the foot-bin go in/out or off/on?

[KennethW]

The storage totes goes on and off and is stored inside when traveling. It keeps the camper at 5 wide for easy towing. By having the beds go over the tires and front rail of the trailer, it gives a lot of under bed storage. May even be able to put a AC under the bed(11 1/2 "). It is 64" tall inside at the peak with a 8" drop floor. The toilet is a composting style with urine separator and a stirring patty. Like a C-head. The walls and front is 1 1/2' foam with no wood at all in them.

Great looking! Some pics make the trailer tongue look too short. How is it when turning?

With my TV it has 2 " clearance when doing a full steering lock circle. Not a lot but will do.

I meant **how**?

Pictures are worth a thousand words. Here is some pictures. I cut the top of a tote off and glue it in to the wall. Then glue a tote lid to the foot tote and cut the center out. Bungee hold it tight to the seal. The travel lid is held on with wood locks. I used Goop the lid to the tote. Polypropylene is hard to glue. Hope this helps. feel free to ask more it you want. This is a first time thing so I may need to change things if they don't work as planned.

Thought I would do a update. The rear mount on the tongue on the carr y-on trailer in a angle iron spanning the 5 feet across the trailer. Too springy I changed to a V tongue using 2" 1/8 wall tube and 4 mounting bolts.
I also made a stand made from a discarded canopy. Too turn the gallery cover into a awning.
When mounting the fuel tank for the diesel parking heater . I also put a drawer pull on the outside for hanging a garbage bag. Looks better than bolt heads on the outside.

Pickup Tonneau cover galley hatch. Also works as a galley awning.
