Side boxes

[TexasD-90]

I'm about to build another trailer. I'm going to do something along the lines of an adventure trailer horizon. Does anyone know where I can find side tool boxes that are only 11 or 12 inches deep? Everything I am finding is at least 16" deep. I'll start a build thread as soon as I get started. This trailer will have built in kitchen, running water, full electric, tent lift, etc., etc., etc!!

I always thought about using these

I'm thinking about using the ammo/missile cans as well and putting a heavy duty hinge on them so they can open without the lid completely coming off. Something make me think they would rattle off in transit that way.

Has anyone actually seen one of these in reality?

A guy awhile back used em......I always thought of using them, until the fiberglass trailer thread started

... boxes that are only 11 or 12 inches deep...

Weatherguard boxes are pretty close:

Delta boxes are similar:

And a build-to-suit, Highway Products, has always made superior products in my experience:

Good luck!

These guys will build them to your specifications. Pretty fair pricing, ask for Mike.
