  when we remove tires to put back on bike now have an outside towel/drying rack.storage for sewer hose idea came from member on forum. Wanted to purchase his product however my mods would not allow it to fit my specs. I did change design so not to copy exactly. Made it more of a lid style non lockable has sewer hose only.

  Thanks Bob only use shut off when units being stored in shop. This will keep battery fresh along with on board battery maintainer. I don't want to keep unit inside plug in all the time with using inverter to maintain battery.

  Steel or aluminum diamond plate?  What is overall weight of empty box?
  Really like bike storage solution!  
  Thanks.

  Box is alluminum weighs about the same as the factory installed piece because of the weight of steel used to hold battery and propane bottle. Moving AGM battery to inside unit. Doing this along with swapping out to fiberglass propane  allowed me to carry honda in box also.. Thanks for comment on bike rack took just a little bit planning but worked out nicely.

  Great solution! I'd like to do something similar. What are the dimensions of that box? It looks to be the perfect size. Thanks for posting!

  ST_Bob - What's the propane concern - No ventilation?

  St_Bob - Probably easily solved (some vent holes). Not in the camper so that's not a problem.

  Tony, if you put some vents near the bottom of the box, it would allow any propane to vent to the outside, making it much safer. 
  
  I always liked Michigan Mike's way of drilling a few holes and putting water hose screens in the holes, and then using a marine metal "shell" on the outside to keep water out. If he didn't post the pictures on the T@B forum, he definitely posted it on the Little Guy forum.

  Holes  are in place. Thanks for the input we have owned everything from a pop up,5th wheel even had a Class A. And until I purchased our T@B we loved the Safari Trek with bed that drop down from ceiling.
  
  Battery inside unit with 4amp charger. Note I also have battery switch installed on unit. So when being stored in shop. I only have charger plugged in not on board inverter. hardest part was drilling hole through wall.
  
  
  Battery inside AGM
