Anthony a good way to organize is to number every container and take a picture of what's inside of it when you're looking for something just look at the picture and you know which container it's in

Anthony the storage container looks very good on the back of your van... but on the back of the storage container you should put a couple of reflector stickers or stripes so that someone won't pull back close up on your bumper. Put some reflective stripe tape on the back of cargo container.

In California you're required to flag anything that extends past the rear bumper. I guess that must not be a requirement in all 50 states.

Hi Anthony, I’ve been an “unofficial FOA squad member for quite a while now. don’t judge me.🙈You nearly took me out with the video before the last where you said that your dentures had froze and you couldn’t stop laughing. I am so glad to see that you are doing okay Anthony, I was worried after hearing all of those winter blizzard horror stories on the news. 🎉I am official today🎉

Always remember when you are backing up you have the box on the back. It is easy to forget and to bump into something

Be careful parking it in Baltimore. My cousin' van with the wheelchair hitch was stolen while they were at an appointment. Safe travels!

Love the idea, more extra space and a place to cook on! Like a few others had said in the chat, try to get the dent fix if possible... it may rust. ❤️

I am struggling and homeless and your videos are the one thing that bring me happiness ❤

Sending love to you.

Have to remember when backing up, you have to take that length into consideration. Don't overload it. Take care.

Stuffed turtle in your storage at the end is soooo cute!! Much like you I try to do some things without the instructions and end up learning from my mistakes...lol!! Your commentary is too funny Anthony!! Safety goggles por favor !🙂

I was looking at your dents in back. A bathroom plunger can be used to suck those out. I've used this to pull dents from the side of my vehicle. I like the hitch on the back.

Job well done, Anthony, even without reading the instructions, I think the majority of us do the same thing, ....As always, safe travel and have lots of fun!!!!

Can I just say again how enjoyable it is watching your content. It's sooo calming and relaxing. Thanks for posting!

Anthony your are hilarious 😂...right before you put the words on the screen I was saying to myself that you needed to read the directions...when I saw that I fell to the floor laughing 🤣...I love the addition you added to your van...that gives me some ideas 💡 for my suv...good job 😀

I love that cargo box, that is nicer than mine I think, NICE!!!

❤ Hi Anthony so glad you are ( SAFE ) yes I was hollering ! Lol 😂 when I seen you with the drill so glad your eyes are ( SAFE ) from that metal flying all over ! I Just Want You Too Be SAFE !!! And I love the turtle 🐢 that you have in your storage ! It’s Cute ! You did a good job putting that box And hitch together All by yourself 👍 Anthony

Hey Anthony I think you did a great job... I don't read instructions either not until I run into trouble.everything looks great.

Anthony you are hookin that van up!!!!! Now no one even sees the dent……that is a lot of extra space for your gear…… nice job !!!!!!!

Hi Anthony. I really like the new storage box. Being it's black, I'd suggest putting reflector tape for when driving at night so anyone behind you can better see you have the box in back and allow you space. Nicely hooked up. I'm terrible with reading instructions. I'm more of a eye it as I go kinda gal. Always a pleasure watching your videos. Stay well.

When you get the larger vehicle you hope to get, you can just tow your van with the storage bin on top and the swing out storage box on back 😅

The extra storage will be so helpful. We put a cargo roof rack on our rambulance van for items we don’t need everyday but will need at some point. You will love the extra storage. If you value something, lock it up. Smart move with the hitch lock as people would steal a red hot stove. 😉 Stay warm my friend from the rambulance crew. ❤️

Happy holidays!

Hi Anthony, I have a Suggesting idea if you don’t mind me saying so😉 how about adding some safety Reflecting tape to your box so other drivers will see that you have something hooked to the back of your van for safety measures since you don’t have any lights on it as a safety precaution I say that because the box is black and when it’s dark at night you want other drivers to be able to see that you have a box hook on van and I really enjoy ur video’s much💖🫶🏽👍🏽

Anthony...you inspire me everyday!

Very Nice. 🚙 Happy travels 🏕

Happy camping Anthony. ⛺️🚙🏊🏾🍳🌽🥔⛄️☔️🌙🪺🌞🌲🦔🐿️🦝🦆🥾👟🧢🕶️🏃🏽‍♂️🧑🏾‍🎄🎄❤️

Glad you are going towards warmer climates for the rest of the winter. That is smart and safer. Abiya went to her moms house when it got too cold for her . Glad you haven’t packed out your storage space yet. Soon you will need a home base or apartment because of all the items that are mailed to your PO Box. Glad your having fun and still laughing. Not many men like to read directions first. It is important and could save time but it seems like you like to do it by trial and error method like my husband. Lol 😂Whatever floats your boat right. Have fun and continue your journey safely. I wouldn’t even fix the dent in the back. It might make your vehicle less of a target for break ins. They might go for another vehicle to rob and pillage for money and such. Stay safe out there and enjoy life. Maybe when you retire from van life you will try a tiny homestead. I could see you gardening and doing things in nature in a sustainable way. ❤☮️

And it's the perfect outside table 😍

Great day Anthony and FOA squad

This is very useful information Anthony I might have to do something like this soon.

The van is coming along nicely, tis nice to c u happy. Greetings, happy xmas and NYear from Sth Australia.

Stay safe and may the Lord's joy and peace be with you in your travels.

Hi Mr. Anthony I love your videos 🥰💪🏾💯

That's a nice job!

Thanks, Anthony! If you get a chance to video and show us how the hatch door hits while your storage box is on, it could help others (like me) figure out if the rear hitch storage could work for us. I have barn doors at the back of my mini van.

I laughed as you demonstrated cooking on the back 😂

Anthony, I love the organization and the extra space you have created. The fact that you can use the attachment behind the van as a prep and cook top is a great idea. Blessings my friend!!!

Anthony this was a great double duty, well thought out purchase. I can already see you enjoying the extra space while prepping and preparing major meals on top of it and love that it frees up lots of room in your living space! I was disappointed when you didn't initially go the RV route (though can appreciate how freeing being debt free feels), but get excited seeing you add, piece by piece, items that make van life more comfortable for you. Now if only they make porta-pottys on wheels with hitches, lol!❤

I don’t got time for reading instructions either. If it’s complex il watch a quick KZread tutorial on it. Love the extra storage another game changer ❤

That's gonna make a big difference to you van life Anthony and it looks amazing. Can't wait to see you cook on it. Yippee
