Towing the camper brings with it a few accessories: backup camera, tire pressure monitor, mounts and cables. For a few years now I have just been using the box the backup camera came in to store this stuff.

It not pretty, but has gotten the job done. When we arrive at our destination, we put the accessories back in the box and the box stays in the truck.

AS you can see, it’s a little worse for wear. So after about 2 years of thinking about making a replacement, I finally did. Introducing the “Tow Kit”.

I put the bandsaw to good use by resawing a pair of walnut boards I had on hand, milled down to a final thickness of 3/8″. Rabbet joints and a floating bottom, also solid walnut. The lid is a hinged 4-panel design. Laser engraved graphic. Natural tung oil finish.

I went with this unusual lid so it doesn’t take extra lateral space to open it – remember this is usually sitting in the truck. A set of small magnets pull the lid ever so slightly closed.

And much to my delight, everything fits.

Interior dimensions are 9″x9″x4.25″.

Now we’re ready for our next trip!
