It is not so much wider at the back, but more of a rectangle shape, with more room in the front. A nice compromise between a right angle style tool box and the original roundish tongue box. Our slightly used TaB 400 came with a truck style tool box mounted on the tongue. While it worked OK, it was ugly and looked like an…
I am already considering a big box for my new 400, there is no room on tongue to mount a generator and I want storage plus dual propane tanks so may make that mod down the road. Will of course need to ventilate the box but in the end way more storage.
I looked at several boxes in places like Tractor Supply and other truck stores. The new aluminum boxes are made of pretty lightweight materials. I ended up finding an old, heavier gauge box on CraigsList. I shined it up and used that. I removed all the stuff from the tongue of the trailer and reinstalled it in the new box.…
Have they reduced the size of the tongue box?. I just measured mine ('06) and the tongue box is 30" wide and 15" deep. I say this because before I moved my batteries inside, I had two Group 27 (Lifeline GPL-27T) installed in the tongue box area. It was a tight fit but worked well for a year (the propane on the old ones is…
Has anyone used an e2 equalized hitch on the new Boondock Lite Tab 400 model? Looks like it could be more challenging to modify the propane box and the shelves near the tongue to make one fit.
Just bought our used 2008 Dutch T@B. In love with it so far, haven't made our maiden voyage yet. We added an Aluminum Tool Box on the tongue for the Propane and Battery after moving the battery from the closet to the tongue. Using our Town and Country van to haul it around. Excited about camping with other T@B owners.
Just wondering what "stuff" you store in your tongue box, if you have one, beyond the propane cylinder. Right now (we're still new and have yet to get on the road, dang it) we've got: * Propane tank * Black tank dump hose (someday it'll get used) * Tongue wheel (we've got a flat pad to use most times) * Hitch lock (right…
Just use the two boxes, the AGM batteries do not out gas, so the hole,in the old box can accommodate the jumper wires. If the battery box is in the side cargo,compartment, move both to the center compartment under the bunk, add a new bulkhead to keep them in place. Here is a late 2019 installation. Or just make a double…
We had noticed the accessory box was wobbly and when we got our Tab home I looked at it more closely. Like mentioned in one of the discussions there were cracks in the box. I decided to dig deeper. I found major cracks on the part screwed down to the tongue. I unmounted everything and went to repairing it. First I…
Hi All! Has anyone mounted a lightweight tool box onto the tongue frame (just in front of tank/battery cover) for the purpose of storing the sewage hose? We are new to the TAB world and not sure how the placement of the toolbox may affect our backing up maneuverability.
