For those with a flatbed trailer, have you used a huge rubbermaid as a "trunk"? How did it go? Any tips? (lemmy.ca)

I picked up a Burley Flatbed to compliment my Burley Travoy and Wike City cargo trailers.

The Flatbed seems to offer a nice bit of versatility when it comes to strapping rubbermaids to it.

I've seen 150L+ sizes, but I'm curious if anyone has actually been doing this. If so, any tips or things I should watch out for?

Obviously, securing the front and rear of the trailer (both sides are fully open) is probably going to be really important. LOL

i prefer the 27 gallon tough totes

Those look way more purpose built with tie down groves and shape. Thanks for mentioning them!

Not looking to tour or anything with the trailer, but if i had to do a major haul or XYZ, i was thinking a large enclosed container would be better than trying to hold everything together with cargo nets. LOL
