The Americans seem to be able to get the best gear.

Anybody know of anything like this in the UK:

It's a box which goes on the A-frame of your trailer (or caravan).

Thanks for your replies guys.

PeteDeFeat: I agree. but... How can I buy British if they made the buggers in the 70s? I want one in the tenzies which is the decade I now find myself in ; )  I don't have me no gas bottles, just a galvi trailer. I'd buy British any day but Thatcher the anti-christ killed British manufacturing many moons ago.  It wasn't that we didn't have the visionaries, engineers and skilled technologists.  Just that she was pumping your money and mine into DeLorien shyster-types whilst starving our real core industries. "let's shut down Invergordon Aluminium smelter because it made thruppence of a loss last month."   Guess what? two years later global price for aluminium is through the roof.  Ooops!
Not to mention the miners.. Am I getting a little political??
I drove Leyland cars as long as I could. They were world class right up to 1969.  Then... well... they weren't.  I drove them 'til the late 80s though, because I had an affinity with the Britishness of them. I also worked for Jaguar/Land Rover in this century, but that's another story...

Tigermouse: You're dead right about price. The link shows a big'un is just 80 bucks. Not 200 full British pounds, as you've found. I've used a B&Q giant plastic trunk before. It was like a huge Tupperware container.  But the fact remains - the Americans are better aligned to servicing their niche markets with good products.

The trailer A-frame needs a trapezoidal plan-shaped container which isn't rocket science to produce.  It's just that... we don't.

Sorry about my ranting and raving.
