Hey skateboarders, little help please?

Ok, you know those awesome tool boxes you guys often have mounted between the spread axles on your trailer...

Is there any reason why those tool boxes couldn't be mounted on a dry van?

Also, where is a good place to find them? I don't need chrome or polished steel or anything just looking for a couple of good water-tight boxes that will mount on a dry van.

Is there any source out there for good used boxes?

Thanks!

 

Thanks, Coon, I'll check them out.

 

Well I guess they don't actually have to be completely water tight, but I don't want a lot of standing water in them, either.

On our dry-van, I plan to locate them about three to four feet behind the landing gear so at least they shouldn't have to deal with much tire-spray. Thanks

 

Good lord, I never would have thought of that! That little bit on info right there is worth more than ten times the price I paid to hang out around these here forums. Thanks, guys!

Well if you're going to get all technical on me... I guess we don't actually need the boxes since we don't deal with tarps, Mr. Smarty Pants.
But what you're not taking into account is that we are two old women and a dog who like to stay out for about a month at a time... man do we have a ton of crap that travels with us. For years our tractor has been packed to the gills and now that we will have our own trailer I want to shift some of that crap out of the truck. Maybe then it wouldn't feel quite so much like a sardine can.

And before you suggest we get rid of a bunch of that crap let me repeat the "two old women and a dog" part... obviously that's not going to happen.
