Very satisfied, everything perfect! Match my 15/20 lb propane tank to it.

Perfect for what I use I almost didn't buy it because of the bad reviews but I even cut a 7 or 8 inch hole in it and it holds up perfectly, even allows for better installation of a propane Tank into the hole and works like a water drain. I can't understand the bad reviews. I like the box and it is made in the USA I did it in the middle so that also compensates for the weight because I want to put 2 batteries and it still gives me room to put some things in it, very nice box, I'm so glad I took…

Cheaper and lighter than metal boxes. Very important!

I mounted this on my 5*8 camping trailer. Fits perfectly and surprisingly matches my canoe stand perfectly. Please note that you must provide your own mounting material. I drilled holes in the bottom and back, used U-bolts to attach it to the tongue and rails with silicone washers, then sawed off the end of the bolts with a hacksaw. I really wish they would include or sell a mounting kit separately, but don't break the deal. Holds four life jackets, an 8lb anchor, rope, canoe trolley and a few…

Fit and design aka "junk "

I bought one of these years ago and it was great. The one I just received is a big disappointment! The plastic paneling has a lot of sharp edges and the bottom left corner doesn't seem like the construction is "welded together," so it has a 3/16" x 1.5" opening that lets water and moisture through (I live in Seattle). Tacoma, this won't work) I'm going to see if I can get a new replacement. I'll update my review as soon as I see what happens. **continued* I sent this box back and ended up…

Nice box for the price

In June 2016 I bought a new 18ft aluminum utility trailer primarily to haul remanufactured John Deere lawnmowers to shows and of course use it for other haulage. I quickly realized I needed a tow bar mounted tool box for all the zip ties, jack and handle, trolley wheel, wrenches, trailer emergency brake battery and all the other things you would need when towing a trailer trailers are on the way. . . I ordered this box from Revain because the dimensions seemed to fit the trailer tongue very…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Skinny

Looks well made and waterproof. As others have noted, the front closure is a little light, but it does the job. It's important to note that the lid is not recessed, so the crate must be mounted 1 3/8 inches from the trailer to allow enough clearance to open the lid (I deducted a star for that). This can be a critical issue for you if your tongue jack isn't strong enough to turn the crate. In my case it was very close and I thought about returning the box. However, I chose to leave it as it is…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Negative Gift

Great box for my Tiny Teardrop Trailer

The box was just what I needed for better storage of my Tiny Teardrop Trailer. I saw warnings about shipping damage and mine had minor dents in a few corners. Manufacturers could use slightly stronger packaging, especially around the corners. Aluminum crates are generally not recommended for batteries or very heavy items, and that was fine once I removed my battery from the crate. Propane tanks in closed boxes are also a problem and I had to fabricate a mounting and venting system for mine. A…

  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Modern

Very weak, very flexible and needs many modifications. Low quality.

This applies to the large aluminum box 1701385. Bought locally after the box I received online was damaged in transit. Judging by the amount of damage I should have assumed this was a bad sign, but I liked the design and fit. I drilled 4 holes in the frame to match those already drilled in the tool box and secured them with heavy duty screws. The hole alignment was perfect. However, the flimsy aluminum case had so many bends that I couldn't add more than 5 or 10 pounds before the holes popped…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
