I have a neat little M416 trailer that we're mounting a roof top tent on. Our design is a little different in that we designed the tent to be elevated or taken up and down so we can fully utilize the annex room and use it as a changing room, storage from the elements, and additional sleeping rooms. Many of the cool trailers that I've seen have their roof top tents mounted on hinged lids which don't allow enough height to fully stretch out the annex rooms. Plus, we wanted to get a little higher up off of the ground from the larger critters.
What I'd like to see are some pictures of what you did for your front tongue boxes. As you can see from these photographs, our roof top tent hangs over the front part of the trailer, so I'd like to find a box that will fill this area. I'd like to "stuff" this area under the tent "over hang" primarily to keep dirt and road debris from the underside of the tent.
For whatever box I get, I have about a 20" height limit, and I want to keep the hand brake. I can go a maximum of 40" wide and about 14-15" deep if my measurements are correct. (I extended the lunette already, and hopefully it was enough to clear the corners of a full size truck as well as our FJ40 to avoid "jack-knifing"). Also, when you guys mounted your boxes, did you bolt the boxes straight to the "V" part of the frame at the tongue, and if so, was that strong enough to support your boxes. I need a fairly waterproof solution so I can mount some DC power components. If a custom built box is the answer, let me know if you know of any sources.
Thanks for your input!
