Lippert Underchassis Double Bin Storage Unit for RVs - 99-1/2" Long
Item as described. Good heavy grade power coated metal frame. Strong boxes. 6 flanges to attach the unit to the frame. More storage than anticipated. Drawers are easy to lock in place so they don’t slide in or out. As others have said, the lids have a hole so you can open them. There is no gasket around the top. So between those two items and the fact that the lid can bounce around when driving, if it’s raining, you can easily see how water would get in the boxes. No way to lock the lids closed so no one slides the drawers out and opens the lids to take your things. Would have been nice to have a small sheet included with bolt size suggestions without having to hunt for the info. So know the downfalls of the unit, but we are still very happy with our purchase. There is nothing that we can’t resolve on our own. So happy with the space, even thinking about maybe adding a second unit.
We installed this on our toy hauler, we keep straps and stuff from the garage in the box, and beer. Our only complaint was it is not water or dust tight. But we keep our stuff in totes, inside the storage area. Check the width of the frame you are attaching to, the brackets may have to be cut off and welded. Also watch backing in somewhere, if you back in a low area, like a ditch, the bottom of the box may rub.

Lippert Underchassis Double Bin Storage Unit w/ Spare Tire Carrier for RVs - 99-1/2" Long
I had this professionally installed, with fabricated brackets on the belly mid fifth wheel. This unit will need creativity no matter on what you install it. That being said, I love it. It allows storage of electrical, and water/sewer hook up supplies, so I can back in, and do full hook up before opening any storage bin on camper or opening slides. The spare tire holder hangs with tire low enough you could have issue cresting a rise in driveway or possibly railroad crossing type rise. Again we install it in the middle of 36 foot fifth wheel by steps mid vehicle so it gets enough lift we have not drug the tire yet. I highly recommend this unit but it takes planning for installation, which means get the specs and assess your rig well prior to buying it. It is exactly as described, and is clearly labelled it is for "universal use"
Great for moving spare tire to under trailer. Great extra storage, however storage boxes are not sealed. Trip thru Alaska and Canada worked great but boxes always full of water and dirt. Had to drill extra drain hole to keep up with water coming around lis. Still worth having.
