Tongue Box construction

[Barry J]

I am thinking about building a tongue box instead of buying one. Tried to find ideas on the site but had no luck. I would like to build one that openson the sides. On side for battery and charger and the other side for tools or camp set up. Would really apppreiate any help.

Here are some pictures of the tongue box on my windsong TD. The battery access is on the outside, all other access is from the inside.

Halfdome Danny also has a nice towbox or towboxes on his tears. Nice ones too.

This one loads from both sides and the top.

They are made out of 1/2" Baltic Birch Plywood and the last pictured one one took me a week to design and build.
It's almost like making a mini teardrop Danny
