Mounting Barker Tote on 5th Wheel

We recently purchased the 32 Gal Barker Tote and would like to mount it on the underside of our 35' Keystone Avalanche; any suggestions as to how to accomplish this?

Look at the Bal tire carriers that fit your spare under the RV.

They sell a device to attach it to your trailer's ladder.

I have a Bal hideaspare. I am not sure if the tote would fit on there, And the tire is held on bynlug nuts.

The spare tire suggestion is posted on here somewhere, with pictures.
As for the ladder, my wife informed me "we WOULD NOT be looking like the Beverly Hillbillies with crap tied all over the ladder! & sure wouldn't be the poop hauler!". So it went under the toolbox on my truck.

Check post #25 http://www.keystoneforums.com/forums...865#post277865 It'll work, depending on the size of the blue tank.

I purchased this 32 gallon tote and it wouldn't fit on top the slide bars of the BAL Hide-a-Spare. The tote pushes up too much against the coroplast with the risk of rupturing it. Maybe a thinner/smaller tote would work.

I’ve got a roll-out cargo tray that occupies the front 4’ of my truck bed. The 32 gal Barker fits across the tray just right once you remove the handle. My only problem is that there’s no good place to grab the dang thing when you’re putting it in the truck. I think I’m going to tie a rope around it at the front and at the back just to have a handhold.
