Steve and MA Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 We were in Hohenwald this week and saw some new products made by SEA BISCUIT METAL DESIGNS on display in the Oliver showroom. One product caught our attention, so we decide to visit Johnson City. The rear basket carrier and storage boxes are very well crafted. We already have the OEM rear bumper receiver option so installation was simplified. Since we weren't using the bumper receiver on this trip, we replaced one for the other. We're very pleased with the quality and the design. The lockable boxes increase the secure outside storage, and they're easily removed from the basket in case we want to use it to carry odd shaped/sized cargo. We went with two separate storage boxes, but they also have a larger single "coffin" box that spans the width of the basket. The low profile doesn't cover the original license plate location, so no need to move the plate and rewire its light. The CNC cut "Oliver" name on the carrier is also a nice touch. 1 6 2 Steve & Mary Allyn San Antonio, TX 2022 LE II Hull #969 "Un Œuf", 2021 MB Sprinter 3500 "Polly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like a 12VDC fridge/freezer back there, locked down, very nice given it fits in the receivers on our old hull. TY! Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

If you don't already have the dual receivers for the OEM bumper hitch, then you'd have to get those too. The basket is very solidly mounted. There is no free-play. 1 2 Steve & Mary Allyn San Antonio, TX 2022 LE II Hull #969 "Un Œuf", 2021 MB Sprinter 3500 "Polly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fine folks and they will get you set up with exactly what you need. https://seabiscuitmetaldesigns.com/product-category/oliver-travel-trailer-accessories/ As for weight limit, the good folks at Oliver may provide guidance on that. Naturally a caution flag on any excessive weight which could really impact the overall handling of the trailer under way on the super slab.

Boilermaker Chemist Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 How is access to the sewer hose termination fitting? Looks like it might be rather difficult. 1 Mike & Ann 2021 Tundra DC SR5, Improved Racing MHX-514 transmission cooler 2023 LE II - Hull #1420 - "Hank the Tank", Truma A/C, Furnace and WH package, AGM/solar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always leave the sewer hose attached while on the road! 🤣 Put the cap on the end of the hose. It must still be a reach with a big-a basket like this one. Nice product, but the back of my 8 ft pickup truck bed would have to get awfully full, for us to spend this kind of money for extra storage, and with the extra weight behind the trailer. 3 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!
