We are looking to buy a storage box that fits on to the A frame of a trailer tent. If anyone has one for sale or knows of where we can buy one please can you let me know. Thanks on advance !

Have you any local caravan/camping dealers who sell trailer tents? If so you may be able to get one from there, though even second hand ones are expensive. A cheaper alternative would be a garden storage box from B & Q or similar - that's what we used (£24.99 from Asda) - and OH strengthened it and attached it with brackets bolted to the front of the tt and welded to the A frame.

good luck on this one i went down this road as all i had was a motorcycle top box and ran out of room so wanted something bigger.

B&Q where having a sale on so i went and bought one of them boxes tigermouse mentioned but when i tried to fit it i found i needed to put a hole in the middle for the jockey wheel then someone said about the stanley waterproof tool box its 28 inches wide and the cheapest i could find was 34.95 amazon but wicks had one online for 29.99 but when i went their it was only 19.99 (and its a stanley one they just stuck their stickers on to make it a wicks own brand) so i have fitted this to hold all the little bits i need.

their is a company that sells them but cant remember at the moment will post when i find them

I can't understand why you would have to put a hole in the middle for the jockey wheel - did you get a very large box or have you only got a very short A frame? The box we got fits perfectly on the front of our tt with no trouble at all.

We bought a garden storage box from B&Q and it fit perfectly and held lots.
