A hitch-mounted swing-away cargo box is a practical storage solution for Mini-T Campervan owners who want to carry more gear without sacrificing interior comfort. Mounted at the rear of the campervan, this cargo box provides secure, weather-resistant storage while remaining easy to access. The swing-away design allows the box to pivot out of the way when needed, making rear access more convenient without unloading cargo.

One of the biggest advantages of this system is convenience. Because the cargo box sits at ground level, loading and unloading gear is significantly easier than lifting items onto a roof rack. This reduces strain and makes handling heavier or bulkier equipment more manageable, especially during longer trips or frequent stops.

By moving gear outside the campervan, valuable interior space is preserved. This allows the Mini-T Campervan interior to remain organized and comfortable, whether you’re traveling with camping equipment, outdoor gear, pets, or additional supplies. Keeping items like muddy boots, coolers, or outdoor gear outside also helps maintain a cleaner and more pleasant living space inside the campervan.

The swing-away cargo box is well suited for a wide range of travel needs. It provides up to 200 pounds of storage capacity, making it ideal for camping gear, sports equipment, and extended travel essentials. The heavy-duty molded black construction is designed to withstand changing weather conditions and road environments, offering long-term durability and dependable performance.

This cargo box system includes several thoughtful features that enhance usability and peace of mind. A hitch lock is included in addition to the standard hitch pin, helping secure the cargo box to the vehicle. A hitch stabilizer tightener is also included, reducing movement, sway, and noise on uneven or bumpy roads for a more solid and quiet driving experience.

When the cargo box is not mounted on the campervan, an integrated wheel kit makes it easy to move and store in a garage or storage area without lifting. The system also includes a license plate bracket with an integrated light, ensuring the license plate remains visible and properly illuminated while the cargo box is installed.

Safety and visibility are built into the design as well. Integrated taillights improve rear visibility while driving, and a locking latch helps secure your belongings during travel and overnight stops, providing added peace of mind.

This cargo box is designed to fit a standard 2-inch hitch receiver on the Mini-T Campervan, allowing for straightforward installation without any modifications. The exterior dimensions measure approximately 49 inches long, 21 inches wide, and 24 inches high, while the interior storage area measures roughly 47 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 22 inches high. These dimensions offer generous storage capacity while maintaining a manageable footprint behind the vehicle.

There are a few considerations to keep in mind when adding a hitch-mounted swing-away cargo box. The system adds approximately 36 inches to the overall length of the Mini-T Campervan and may partially interfere with the factory backup camera view due to the camera’s position on the vehicle. For owners who rely heavily on the backup camera, this is an important detail to be aware of.

For those concerned about camera visibility, license plate–mounted backup camera options are available and can be installed directly on the cargo box. This provides a clear rear view while preserving the benefits of added storage and swing-away access, offering a practical solution for uninterrupted camera functionality.

Overall, a swing-away hitch-mounted cargo box is a smart upgrade for Mini-T Campervan owners who want to expand storage capacity while keeping the interior organized, comfortable, and ready for travel. With included security, stability, mobility, and visibility features, it delivers a well-rounded storage solution that fits naturally with the Mini-T Campervan lifestyle.
