I thought others have mentioned it getting in the way of the stabilizer jacks. Anyone know?

I would also like to hear how the aftermarket attachment affected getting to the grey and black dump attachments?

The aluminum platform on our 2015 Outback does block the front jacks somewhat. The factory jack tool does not operate well with the platform. I cut the jack tool so that I could use it in my power drill. I am happy with the outcome. I use an extra long jack tool for the rear jacks. The aluminum platform also hampers access to the grey and black valves. I added those clear 45 degree elbows. That helps a lot. Still not sure how I will use the platform...maybe I will put a blue 7.5 gallon water container on each side when I go dry camping. I have not figured out to to securely mount them on the platform.

John&kris, I would be interested in how you add the grey and black dump extensions.  Could you provide pictures if you have a chance please?

I have the Outback with the platform.  The Rubbermaid Action Packer seems to fit very nicely (Model 1170 is printed on the bottom).  I think Jenn suggested this in another post.

Does the ActionPacker keep the contents dry?

Actionpackers are probably the best you can buy for keeping stuff clean and dry without bumping up to the upper echelons in price for thinks in the Pelican category. They do

Thanks much. I plan to add storage boxes when I get my T@B (ordered with the platform). I'm thinking I will store sanitation supplies like sewer hose, gloves, and utility hose in one and use the other for the potable water hose, electrical cord, surge protector and other "clean" camping stuff. My goal is to store everything I need for the T@B in or on the T@B itself. Whether that is possible remains to be seen, but it is fun to plan during the long winter wait.

I'm curious how others use their external storage boxes?

It looks like one Rubbermaid 1170 ActionPacker Storage Box, 8-Gallon mentioned by Outback AZ would fit on each side of the propane bottle container.  The DeeZee DZ6535P is much longer and I can only imagine that it would have to be ubolted to the tongue as well as to the platform. Photos showing these boxes on the Outback and the mounts would be helpful.

That garden hose isn't your drinking water hose, is it?

Good points all. All the hoses are new and unused. Just put them in the packer to show the size. You guys are just too observant!

Great concept!  Thank you for sharing! Please consider securing the latches on the ActionPacker or strapping down the cover.  Over latches will sometimes come loose.

Would the platform support a small generator? If so, do you have to remove the generator to run it? Would fumes coming into the T@b be an issue?

I would think there would need to be some degree of separation between the various intake vents and the exhaust of the generator. If the fridge vent is near, if the A/C vent is near, if the roof vent is open, if one or both or all three windows are open--all would need to be taken into consideration, along with the direction of the breeze.

A few years ago, a family was killed in an RV parked in someone's yard for the family's attendance at the Indianapolis 500 or the Brickyard.. Exhaust fumes from a generator running and placed too close to the RV, allowing the exhaust fumes to enter the RV, killing all occupants as they slept. I never can seem to forget that. Sure, they park those RV's in like sardines, but it didn't need to happen.
