Matty I am getting this for my van too. What I will do with it is to use the swing away and inside the box will be a 2000 watt generator in a damper box. This way I can vent away from van with the exaust. I can pull into an area like parking area and many times no one can see or hear it. I cut a hole in side of box for venting but use a 4 in duct inline fan to force air in and the fan is plugged into generator. This is for keeping the van inside cool so I can sleep. I bet it works for electric heater to eliminate moisture issue from propane units.

Glad you have more storage space. Question, if you don't mind. Why do you prefer the tote to open towards the driver's side? Think I'd prefer it opening towards the passenger side with the swing-away deployed. Appears that would be more convenient and private, when parked.

Did your van already have the receiver installed? I have been considering a swing away to hold my full size spare tire and my shower water container. My 1997 Ford Areostar has a lift back hatch.Trying to calculate total cost of parts and installation and determine if the back hatch will have enough space to open and close.

I just built this but found that the entire hitch ensemble wobbles and is loose at the swing-away and cargo hitch junction. And I can't tighten this because the swing away hitch receiver is not a standard receiver with a flared neck (in which case I could have just added a hitch tightened). How do you account for the crazy loose wobble? I'm afraid this will fall apart in me while I'm driving some bumpy roads.
