Pricey? -- NO, just totally ridiculous, unless you're "made of money!" It's like I'm going to spend $1250 to protect my $400 generator. Just mount it to the basket. I love my open carrier that OTT mounted, throw my tools in there and other stuff when parking. When traveling, our fire ring sits there. Not wanting one myself, but I'd certainly save the $1000 for other upgrades and buy the simple and viable product @Mike and Carol suggested. 1 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

Patriot Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I am very happy with my current cargo box and puck lock security basket for my 3200i. It’s all we need. 😉 Roll with what works best for your budget. 2020 OLEII - Hull #634 aka- “XPLOR” TV 2021 F350 6.7 liter Diesel Lariat Ultimate Tremor Retro upgrades - Truma Aventa 13.5 AC, Alcan 5 leaf pack, Alcan HD shackles & HD wet bolts, 5200lb axles.

jd1923 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Beautiful pics @Patriot! and just the original basket works for you! Our old hull will likely never see a garage or a cover anytime soon. Ours came with a nice cover, but I've been too busy working on it to cover it. 1 1 Chris & John in Prescott, AZ | 2016 EII #113 | '01 Ram 2500 Cummins!

rich.dev Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 @Brian and Brandelyne I’m ready to order this UWS 34 box, however, I see they are available in 2 heights, one is 22 inches and the low profile (LP) is 13 inches, which one do you have? 2023 Elite II, Hull# 1386, Lithium Platinum Package (640AH, 400W Roof Solar, 3000W Xantrex Inverter), added 400W Renogy Solar suitcase with Victron MPPT 100/30 CC, Truma water heater & AC TV: 2024 Silverado 2500HD 6.6L 10-Speed Allison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Foster Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Being a welder with the skills and the equipment, I can't justify $1250 for a box. I may wind up building one when I am bored. 4 1 2014 Ram 2500 Cummins Diesel 4X4 Truck 2024 Oliver Legacy Elite II Hull 1460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 After some thought of how little we used our 3200i generator in the cargo tray on our last 42 day trip out west, we decided to move forward with a custom all aluminum cargo/storage box from Sea Biscuit metal fabrication shop. My wife and I took a 3 hr drive up to Johnson City, Tenn and visited the Sea Biscuit metal fabrication shop. We met David and Kristine Hess the owners. Some of the nicest folks you will ever meet, and they are campers as well. After seeing the high quality of the Oliver storage boxes that David and his team craft we decided to purchase one. The fit and finish is excellent. We like supporting small companies and their products made right here in the USA 🇺🇸. We know we will get a lot more use from our cargo box each time we set up camp. It has lots of room for all things for initial set up. Our gen will be secured in the truck bed. I custom ordered and installed the XPLOR metallic silver graphics from https://lettering.com/ another excellent customer service experience. Had a buddy of mine install XPEL PPF on the front and sides of the box as it sits in the road rash blast zone. For questions on custom boxes and pricing reach out to -https://seabiscuitmetaldesigns.com/product/oliver-box/ a few photos - PPF - I bought and trimmed a fatigue mat to fit from HF to line the shelf and bottom. Added graphics- Moose rack holds our cables off the ground. Plenty of storage for all initial set up gear- XPLOR graphics installed- 4 1 2020 OLEII - Hull #634 aka- “XPLOR” TV 2021 F350 6.7 liter Diesel Lariat Ultimate Tremor Retro upgrades - Truma Aventa 13.5 AC, Alcan 5 leaf pack, Alcan HD shackles & HD wet bolts, 5200lb axles.

John Dorrer Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Chris Neuhaus, Stephen Cobb, and Marla King all have lockable boxes on the rear.

Because of the width, there is a set of brake/turn signals on top. The bars also accept Yakima round bar fittings. 5 Hull #364 - The Roadrunner 2023 F350 CCLB SRW 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our 8' bed I rarely need extra space. The only time I get cramped for space is when we camp somewhere longer than 5-6 days and don't want to hook up and go to the dump. We load the turd wagon in the bed for the trip. Our turd wagon takes up more space than I like. 1 1 John & Susan Dorrer, 2013 F250, 6.2 gasser, 4x4, 2022 Legacy Elite 2, twin beds, Hull #1045, Jolli Olli - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A garbage bag and a dumpster is all it takes, but I prefer to wait until I am home to deposit under my lone apple tree. 2 Hull #364 - The Roadrunner 2023 F350 CCLB SRW 6.7L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
