You might consider putting out a catalog of storage units make on a custom basis. Get a website and many orders would follow!

Nice stuff!!

A perfect fit with your beautifully crafted Boler. What all do you keep in it besides the tank?

WOW all I can say is THANK YOU all for your comments, I never expected it.
As requested here are some interior shots, they include the propane tank and the contoured edge for the lid to seal against.

I also designed a grey water system for the Boler, the sink drains into the blue 5 gallon container. Under the trailer is a "T" with a drain valve that connects to a 5/8" hose for draining the tank.

What a wonderful addition to the camper! I like the looks of it and it inspires me to make a shameful copy of the basic idea.
Thanks for the pictures.

You can only use your Escape now. Your Boler will have to stay home so you don't mess up that gorgeous box! I thought maybe it was the wine cellar.

Ian, it's beautiful. Aren't barrels also held tight with bands ? I think I see brads going through.
