If you're like us, you need more storage in your van! We travel for extended periods of time, often through varied climates in the same trip, which usually means we need clothes for different weather, sports equipment, safety gear, etc., and it can be challenging to find the space. And, we'd prefer to keep sandy, dirty and muddy items stored outside the van (like rugs, chairs and mud boots, for instance).
We love van travel and being in a vehicle that allows us to go places many other larger recreational vehicles cannot go (and we've been down some crazy backroads on this trip - the back road featured in this video is North McDonald Road in Glacier National Park!) but that means less room for stuff! We have found an awesome cargo carrier that has a 4 inch rise on it to allow for ground clearance, and paired with a truck cargo tool box we picked up, we have found a great storage solution for our travels in the van. The cargo carrier has cut-outs for LED lights, which we think is a great added safety feature. We also added a stabilizer bar to the tow hitch to help stabilize the carrier and keep it from wobbling.
The tool box we use has key locks which helps keep thieves and bears out. Even in an all-night soaking rain, all of our items in the toolbox stayed dry! We have found this set up to work great for us and the tool box even doubles as an outdoor table or kitchen counter for cooking at campsites.

Dude! Where are you? Hope all is well. Sure do miss your helpful tips & info. 😢
Hey brother, miss your vanning videos. Hope all is well!!
Miss your videos
Awesome idea, I installed one on the front of my van because my job requires me to tow a trailer. had to use a bit shorter of a tool box so that it didn't block the head lights and it still does a tiny bit .So far so good though .
I loved that scenery in the background. I was waiting for Andy and Opie to walk by with fishing poles on their shoulders.
Love your ideas. Always done with style. Just bought a van and I’m starting to build it out. Thanks for the ideas!
Top notch setup, videos, and info. Thanks man, you've got your setup dialed in.
You we right in my back yard in this video. Hope you enjoyed Glacier.
Love 💕 your videos guys, always thoroughly explained & great quality, good job! 👍
Oh man, a locking truck box on a hitch platform, that's so easy, and so brilliant. I love it!
Mike your teaching skills are crazy!!!! what a great channel, thank you for all the videos!!! hi from France
Excellent point on the 4" rise to the cargo carrier.
Using a metal box for a counter top and with it being metal being safe to heat (within reason) is a great tip! thank you
We have magic dust here in NW Montana...it just finds its way into everything!!! I pack stuff in zip locks then pack. I love your knack box idea 💗
Very good advise Mike. Thanks for sharing all these good ideas.
impressed with your down to earth camper solutions!
Great video! I really liked the clear explanation of how you have it set up and how you use it. It sure gives me ideas on how I could use something similar.
thanks for giving some practical real advice I.e. the rise in the hitch. and not just a show and tell, talking about your stuff.
I love your videos. Thnks so much for shaing your knowledge. Hope to see some more videos soon. Take care.
Great ideas Mike! Happy trails!
