This is the cheap thing I got.

Finally got the remaining pieces to finish the RVK3270 manual slider on a Demco 6099 picture frame. V-Box fits behind the hitch fine. Truck Trunk box is going to fit in front of the hitch with some modification to lower rear corner to clear the wheel wells and front of the hitch. Have the replacement park view camera in the back of the V-Box working, however may have to aim it down a little more the green lines are elevated off the ground on the screen. Snoking

The Demco Hijacker latches that mate with the bed pucks are robust.

Thank you for posting this picture of how the frame locks into the pucks. I already bought the Reese picture frame and it matches my old 22K Reese 5th wheel. If I shorten the levers of my Reese frame so they clear the wheel wells and drill new holes through the shorter levers to pin them in place. I am hoping I can also remove my set up as one assembly. Thinking of welding a large nut to each of the locks so I can use a breaker bar to turn if needed.

I don't know why I didn't see these photo's before now. If I supply all the Booze and Pizza you can consume in mass quanities will you do the same installation for me?

On second thought that might too cost prohibitive....might be cheaper to have San Diego Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram do all the install work at their prices. All kidding aside looks like a great job you did there.

In that very front box is there an auxiliary fuel tank hidden?

Both of these boxes are for a company called Creative Industries. They quit making 8 or 10 years ago. From box is called a Truck Trunk was originally in our 93 W250, then in the 2001.5 and after major surgery now in the 2015. The back box is called a V-Box and the only such box that I have ever seen that have a complete lid that opens. It hows both of our golf bags, golf shoes, and pull cart wheels. We bought it in 2003 or 4. The lib on the truck trunk slides left on right to open. They came in different sizes up to 29" front to back, which is the size I have. It hangs of the bed rails and has about 4" below it so one can slide plywood or sheet rock under it.

I know where there is a V-Box is that might be available. Friend here has a 2008 Montana 3400RL Anniversary Edition rotting in our community storage lot with a hitch and V-Box sitting under the front overhang. The V-Box screws down to blind nuts I installed in the bed.

No Aux fuel tank. However there is enough room under the box for a 16x4x60 or so tank. Tank would be only a little over 16 gals, and not worth the cost. Not sure yet if I what to give up the ability to slide things under it. If I did I would end up having to buy an utilitly trailer to move the Golf Cart to and from the RV RV resort.

Holy Smokes, I weighed Cherry this afternoon ready to tow for our trip South, minus 1/2 tank of diesel and 5 gals of spare diesel. So about another 160-170 pounds to be added.

And it weighed 8900 lbs Front axle was 5140 and rear axle was 3760. So rear axle has 3240 of remaining capacity and GVWR 2800 pounds. Both minus the missing fuel weight.

So with a mid size 29 foot trailer I am going to max out a SRW 3500! This all is going to tell me to inflate the rear tires to more than I intended to do. Will start with 80 lbs for now and maybe adjust down a bit once I get a new loaded rear axle weight. With the movement of fresh water forward to two grey tanks and one black tank, 80 just may be the correct number.
