http://www.sandmarks.net/CargoBox.html Though I show off some pictures of my latest work in progress. It is a cargo box to hold kayak gear for trips and camping. I bought a class one hitch for _at_ $120 and thought I'd make the rest myself. I bought a hunk of 1x3 square tubing as the main support. Right now I just have my plywood tray bolted on to see how it fits, but I plan to reinforce it with some steel or aluminum angle iron--not sure which yet. The box will attach to the tray in some manner. I figure it can hold my kayak gear and some camping stuff and maybe a bit of firewood. Without the box, I though I could use the wooden tray to maybe haul a small roto-tiller when I need one for the back yard. Maybe someone out there knows the rules in CA for hauling a cargo box??? I hides my license plate, which may be a problem, but my taillights are up high, so they don't get interfered with. When I trip the tubing, the whole shebang should only hang out _at_ 30", less than my kayak when it on my roof. The box has wheels and is of a nice size, so it might make a nice table camping!
