The bottom of the toolbox separated from the sides going down the interstate within month of installation. I was extremely lucky I did not cause and accident at 75mph.

This is a really well constructed...solid box. Very happy with it. It took a bit of a beating during shipment...a few areas chipped and textured finish scraped off...but nothing to do with the manufacturer or merchant. I put it in the front of my travel trailer...behind the propane tanks. Had to move the tanks forward a bit. It now stores my two batteries, I added a marine battery switch, and it still has tons of room to hold blocks of wood, water hose, and power cord. Had to install angle iron across the front of the frame rails because it was a bit too far back to fit on top of the frame. I'm really happy with the finished product.

I originally purchased a less expensive tongue box from a local discount tool retailer. After closer inspection, it was clear that this cheaper model was of very poor build and material quality. I returned it and ordered this RC Manufacturing box from etrailer. After a year of pretty heavy use and all kinds of weather, it has held up perfectly. I should have realized all along hat there is no substitute for quality workmanship and materials.

The steel RC tongue box is rock solid. Many boxes are flimsy and have cheap components. This box will no doubt stand up to abuse and last a long time. As a trailer manufacturer, we only install premium components on our trailers and this is out go-to toolbox.

Box is really nice. Latch works smooth as well as the strut on the lid.
Was great to see its American made.

This was my first time ordering from etrailer and was very pleased with their service and communication. Product shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived 2 days later. The packaging was damaged to the extent that I figured the tool box had to suffer as well, but to my surprise there was only one small area that needed touched up with a little black paint and did not warrant retuning. The tool box appears to be built very well and should easily meet my needs. I would purchase this tool box again and not hesitate to do business with etrailer.

We bought for our camper trailer to replace the old smaller one of the same brand we had bought previously. Buy the biggest one your camper will allow.

It is large enough for all my stuff. Great finish, fit my frame almost exactly, just a very minor taper difference, could be my frame also. But I’m very pleased.

It’s holding up very nicely, but I do think it could be a bit thicker. The box that it replaced was much thicker but just too small

@KevinU Glad we had almost the exact fit Kevin! I will forward the information about making it a little thicker to RC Manufacturing.

This tool box, shape and size are perfect for my utility and car trailer. Good gauge steel, well made. Holding up very well. Water tight. Good finish
After a year of use, would definitely buy again. Plenty of storage for winch, chains, straps, ropes, jack and more.

I mounted it on my trailer and installed batteries c/w an inverter. Solid workmanship. The finish has no marks on it even after hauling it down gravel forestry trunk roads and highways.

the tool box is fantastic. Not a mark on it. Very durable. I keep my batteries and inverter in it. Well thought out design and finish. No rust at all. Survived a Canadian Winter stored in the snow and ice as well as UV in the summer.

This is a high quality toolbox with a nicer looking finish than most boxes. Seals work really well and keep my contents dry. I would recommend this product to others. I would also like to note that this was my first purchase from etrailer and was a little nervous when ordering. etrailer was great and George kept me in the loop via phone and emails each step of the way. I was very impressed by the service that I received and will purchase from them again.

Installed box on trailer tongue. It fits perfectly. So convenient to have all trailer tools and accessories right there on trailer. Piston for lid works great.
I had shopped for months at retail stores and on line. This box was the best buy.

- Availability of A-Frame Toolbox Wider than 36 inchesWe have the UWS A-Frame Trailer Toolbox part # UWS01065 which is 49 inches wide at the rear and 18 inches in the front.
view full answer... - Where Is The etrailer Trailer Tool Box Made?Good question! The etrailer trailer tool box # e44VV is made over seas, but I do have a couple made in America options listed below. They are fairly similar and I think they might be of interest to you, since the name you entered is Usaforme.

view full answer... - Comparing Trailer Tongue Tool Box Options - etrailer, UWS, RCHey Keethe, I can clarify that for you! The etrailer Trailer Tongue Tool Box - A-Frame - Aluminum - 6 Cu Ft # e44VV is much more affordable, but certainly not lower quality than the similar options like UWS A-Frame Trailer Toolbox - 6.3 cu ft # UWS01065 or RC Manufacturing T-Series Trailer Tongue Tool Box 5.2 Cu Ft # 313-TM362016M. All three of these options have a black powder coat, a weathertight seal to protect the inside, and a gas strut for ease of use. Aside from the impressive price...
view full answer... - A-Frame Toolbox Options For A Big Tex 60PIHow large of a toolbox are you looking for? These toolboxes are not custom fitted, so there are going to be a lot of options as far as height, depth and cubic footage. Based on pictures I can see of these Big Tex 60pi trailers, there is a good amount of open space on the tongue. Your best bet will be to measure out the available area to get an idea of the appropriate width and depth. You will probably be looking at something 34" or 36" wide. We do not have any kind of build sheet that...
view full answer... - Trailer A-Frame Tool Box that Can Hold Propane Tanks that are 19 inches TallWe have the A-frame tool box part # UWS01039 which would be tall enough for a propane tank that is 19 inches tall but the # 313-TM362016M would be just a little bit too short for that. I attached a review video for more info on this for you to check out as well.

This toolbox has a cargo capacity of 2.6 cubic feet, measures 30" long x 14-1/2" tall x 14-1/2" wide, and is specifically designed for A-frame trailers. If you wanted a bit bigger tool box, then I'd recommend checking out the RC Manufacturing T-Series Trailer Tongue Tool Box # 313-TM362016M.

view full answer... - How Does A-Frame Trailer Tongue Tool Box Mount to the Trailer Frame?The RC Manufacturing T-Series Trailer Tongue Toolbox - A-Frame - Steel # 313-TM362016M is just the steel box. Most people drill into the bottom of the box to hold the box to the trailer frame with self-tapping screws like # WLS100. You can weld it if desired, but that is not how most choose to attach the box to their trailer frame.

- Is A-Frame Trailer Tongue Toolbox Made in the USA?The A-Frame Trailer Tongue Toolbox # 313-TM362016M is made right here in the United States of America, as you can tell by the photo of the cutout of the bottom corner of the toolbox. It is made from 14-gauge steel for durability and there will not be an issue with rain getting inside the toolbox because it features an internal seal at the bottom of the lid. I've added a link to a video review of the A-Frame Trailer Tongue Toolbox for you to take a look at.

The RC tongue box is made from 14-gauge steel. Not only is it bigger but its made of a heavier gauge steel. Steel toolboxes are strong and normal exposure to water will not cause corrosion.
