A few weeks ago l read on here about storage boxes being fit on to the back of TT's & a man told us how to do it with the storage box from B&Q or Argos as they were cheaper than the ones you buy to go with what ever make of TT you have got, & l remember he had a photo in his gallery of the box on his TT. But can l remember who he was or how you had to fit them on? NO l can't!! so if said man reads this thread please can you tell me again, thakyou!!
The Cabanon is a great TT, bought our Stratos last year but would love the new one that has come out this year as it has a kitchen area, which the stratos doesn't!! It tows like a dream, don't know it's there, plus it's good quality, our friends have just bought one off ebay, a galaxy 2001 model, & if ours is in that condition in 6 years time we will be happy, it's still like new. Would highly recomend the make.
hi, Andy, l knew someone would tell me who you where!! Thanks for replying, just wanted to ask you again how you fixed your storage box onto your TT?? as l have been nagging my OH to get one for ours & he keeps saying "don't know how to fix it on" l said l know a man who can tell you how to do it!! Lol so now he's got no excuse, thanks in antisipatience (don't know how to spell it!!) Tricia
There are probably several methods that have been adopted by others on here but the one I used was to cut to shape a 1" marine ply board to fit in the box to strengthen the base a bit, thenthere were already two 8mm holes pre-drilled in the A frame, so I carefully aligned the box centrally and not too far forward and marked from underneath through the holes with a felt pen.
Took box off and drilled these two holes, box back on A frame and loosely bolted it together, making sure everything looked square and aligned. Then measured forward and drilled two more holes in A frame, need to make sure that you drill centrally through A frame and into box.
Another alternative, if you dont fancy drilling the A frame is to get some narrowish U bolts, the type that are used for exhaust pipes should do. You will probably need 4 of these, then aligned box and drill through box either side of A frame then insert U bolt from underneath, you will probably have to get some largish washers to spread the load a bit, or better still use a short lenght of steel bar to go between the two legs of the U bolt (hope this all makes sence)
I would also use nyloc nuts just to make sure they stay tight
I can take picks if you wish but will have to wait till weekend, but let me know if you do
Thanks for that Andy, steve knew what you were on about, unlike me!! well as OH & son keep reminding me, cos l forget, l am 50 on sunday!!! Thanks again for letting us pick your brains!
My family bought me a number plate now I can never claim to be 38 again
if they did that to me they would get it over their heads, now the OH is sat with his hand over his mouth, if he has.................................dead meat!!
