G'day all , we have just got our panda and now needing to put a box on the front to put genie , hoses etc in , not sure if I should just run the one gas bottle to have more room or what , just wondering what other people have done and to what degree of success they have had without crunching the quarters on the tow vehicle , the van is a 17'56.2 std draw bar , tow vehicle is 2010 Prado , any help is greatly appreciated cheers, vince

Hi @vince and congrats on the pickup.
We have a 17.56.2OB (With std drawbar) and a 2004 Prado. I fitted a 1500L x 500H x 600W which houses 2 gas bottles, a weber and other bits and pieces. Doing a sharp U-turn in a tight area I ended up crunching the corner of the rear bumper.... No scratches on the box though
To fix the problem I purchased an extended Hayman Reece Tow Hitch and everything now clears completely..... Might be a fix for yours if the box gets close????
