We are very short on storage, so every little bit helps. I decided to get this Better Built Tongue Tool Box to store the trailer leveling equipment in. Its only adding a couple cubic feet of storage, but it definitely helps.
My thought was to have anything we need first when arriving at a site and until last before leaving available outside of the typical storage. So I had one of welders where I work build me a small frame to support the tool box over the batteries on the tongue of the truck between the cabin and the propane tanks. I looked at a lot of different boxes, but unfortunately I only had 17″ to work with, so i couldn’t go any bigger than that. On top of all that, I did not want to add a whole bunch of weight. This one weighs in at 17 lbs.
In 2016 a family hit the road with 5 of their children. They were going to travel the country in a Ford Excursion that had a cummins engine. A ford with a cummins, hence the name, Fummins. Ford+Cummins=Fummins. It was going to be a fummins family roadtrip. Within 3 months they decided that the travel trailer they were pulling wasn't working well for their family. They needed more space so they upgraded to a fifth wheel. It's not easy to pull a fifth wheel with an excursion, so they had to bid farewell to the fummins. They talked about changing the name of theirs travels, but decided to hold onto it for a while longer. They already had a website, blog, youtube, instagram and facebook. After 2 more years they decided to make the switch to Roadschool. Here they will share some of the old posts and video. It may be old information, but it's still just as good...at least most of it!
