Rear Storage Fabricated for Firewood

I see other posts from campers wondering if they could use the rear receiver hitch for a storage rack. My Alpine 3650RL came with one receiver hitch in the center. I welded another receiver on each side of the main frame, made a removeable 2" square tube rack for it that uses all 3 receiver hitches and mounted a large storage box on it that I carry firewood in to keep it dry. I also added some blue LED lights in it and made a pair of heavy duty tongs while I was at it. Works well and is stable in the receivers with no weight issues.
