Tag Boondock additional tongue storage

Huggingtheshore

I recently bought a Tag with the Boondock package. There's some space on the tongue for additional storage, but the only fitted containers I've been able to find are pricy: AllPro Storage Tub for TAG Teardrop Campers.

Are there other options for additional storage, on the tongue or elsewhere?

Sweet looking. This is the first time I have seen them.

My T@G 5-wide is a 2019 so I have the smaller main tub. I'm afraid if I added storage I would "find" things to put in them. I know there are a few members of the forum who have added front storage and their solutions look very nice too.

Good luck and welcome.

It is my understanding that those tubs will only fit the XLs (6' wide) models. Not 100% sure on that but I saw it somewhere.

I personally would not want to have extra boxes. I definitely would not want to pay what most of those companies are charging.

I use those flat areas for our large camping chairs on one side. and our toilet setup and buckets on the other. If we had storage boxes those items would have to go inside the trailer. We have enough "general" storage space as it is.

Thanks for the alternative suggestion. I'm debating getting a toilet; having one would enable me to join the Harvest Hosts or Boondockers Welcome networks.

Thanks! Always good to have sources to compare.

@Huggingtheshore - a makeshift toilet (5# bucket and cat litter) may be easier to store/dispose for those occasions that you need to be self contained, but I am not sure that HH considers a portable toilet as self contained. You can’t use the open galley at HH to cook, either.

For storage, another option are plastic tubs seen here used by TaB owners:

@Sharon_is_SAM, appreciate the additional suggestions. I've moved on from HH and the like; realize they aren't feasible with a Tag.

We typically stick to BLM and National Forest since it is free...

But we have found that "Hipcamp" is better than campgrounds when it comes to paid camping. Think of it as AirBnB for camping, people rent out their land. Usually much more private.

The bucket toilet has been great to us for the past 2 years. Honestly I would rather use the bucket, than most campsite toilets... All you need is a bucket, toilet seat, trash bag, kitty litter, and a pop up shower tent. Total cost is about $30.
