pretty nice unit. the quality is nicely built, but like a lot of people have stated, they could have come up with better hindges
I mounted the storage bins to the my truck camper, works great for light weight items, nothing to heavy. I had to shorten the frame to get the length I wanted. Highly recommend for light weight storage.
Never received it
Great extra storage with that said, here is my review. The pictures are a just a bit deceiving, even after looking at the dimensions and spec sheet. I believed the bins were bigger. When installing use two people or the old large zip tie or rope method to allow some room for adjustment. Going of the installation sheet you are suppose to use self tapping screws. I started that way but ended up using #20 1 1/2 hex bolts. I installed 8 of these. The installation instructions said two hex and two self tapping.
My camper is right at 8 feet wide, water runs down the side and possibly get into the bins. There is no way to lock the bins that I know of. I am satisfied of the product just wished the bins were a little longer and deeper. If I had to purchase again, $500 is a little steep.
I gave four stars due that this is through e-trailer and love the products they offer. Would like to see more products down the road.
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.
all in all went together but by no means plug and play. had to modify the most bracket to fit the new 2025 forest river frame width dementions which are 1.5 inches narrower than the lippert rails. plus the 99 1/2 inch version does stick out 3 inches on both sides so for forest river applications I would recommend the smaller length option.
Quality of materials is good, workmanship is not. Doors do not fit opening (both doors), rough cutout and not big enough to let doors seat properly. Rubber hinges on both doors pulled loose from rivets during shipping.
I am adding steel hinges (replacing rubber), adding rubber seal around doors and cleaning up/resizing the openings. I can fix mine to meet my needs, others may not want to go to all that trouble. Factory can do a little better and have an outstanding product. Please pass on to factory.
I mounted this on my toy hauler XLR about a foot from the entrance door works well had to drill holes into the bottom of the storage container as water from the rain will fill it up. The two rubber hinges that are riveted to the container lid pretty much suck rivets and the rubber strap will not hold in place need to make a hard mesh strap that will hold in place. Holds up to 100 pounds I can fit my 50 amp fifty foot cable inside one side and all my water hoses and filters in the other. I also fabricate a flat piece of metal and added a slots to slide it into for security.
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 have a mini-lite 2509S. There's not a lot of outside storage on that model, so we bought these bins 3 years ago to increase our capacity. We had to modify the frame for the bins, as they were not square. We had to cut the supports, straighten, and also added additional supports. After those modifications, the bins have held up fine and they’ve served us well. The bins are not waterproof – anything you store in them will get wet. We use them to store our leveling blocks, x-chocks, levelers, etc. Stuff that typically is already dirty and it won’t matter if it gets wet. You can’t add a lot of weight to the containers, as they sag in the middle. I would buy them again, as they do work, and there’s not a lot of alternatives available. It's been worth it to us to have the extra storage.
Shipping was rough, comes on a pallet, no box, bins are a little beat up but its fine being it is mounted under the trailer and will likely get weathering. Little expensive for what you get, pin lock holes are miss-drilled in the bins leaving a lot of slop in the "lock" feature. There are no drain holes in the bins either, added them myself, and the rubber lid "hinges" will likely fail after extended use, so time will tell on the durability. Bin plastic is thick and seems rugged and durable. Frame is sturdy, wasn't too hard of an installation...Got it done by myself in about 1.5 hours.
I haven't got to install it yet.
Very nice product. Was little long so k had to shorten it.
Nice product and does exactly what you need for basic c sewer components stand rage
The box I think these are in is damaged, don't know if contents are or not..The under RV storage unit was left down the road beside the mailboxes on two pallets with the damaged box thrown on top... Had just happened to tell a friend about it earlier and he drove by it and let me know.. Not sure if any of it is in good shape or not yet... We will see1
Poor design on hinges, doesn’t fit an 80” wide trailer, not universal as far as how it bolts on a box frame, arrived 2 weeks late, and arrived damaged
the product is high quality and works well.
retrofitting this onto a trailer takes high skill and the ability to weld and modify
Had limited storage. Choc, hoses, leveling blocks fit well. Installed pretty easy.
No ding against etrailer on this one, but Lippert could have made the mounting tabs a little wider to cover a variety of frame widths. Instead I had to make my own and weld them on - not something everyone can do. Aside from that, the bin lid on one bin had broken hinges and I had to drill out and replace the rivets and replace them with better/correct sized ones with washers to avoid rip thru the rubber/plastic. The other bin had completely different rivets and was fine. The unit was pretty good otherwise.
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.
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"
