That's cool. I never knew that existed. I did a harbor freight aluminum hitch base. With a very large husky tool box with handle bars and wheels with the same idea in mind. Used it last year it was great. Took it out the holder and wheeled it into the hotel. All our stuff was in it one shot.

It hides the plate
This isn't a good thing. I got pulled over on my way back home from my snowboarding trip in colorado in my escalade because I had something similar and a cop pulled me over forhaving my license plate covered.
They did include a plate bracket with a light to put on it. I just haven't done it yet. I might just take my chances on the drive down. Once I'm there I wss going to remove the box and put it in the house. That's just alot of plate swappin...

They offer a white one too. I just thought it looked better black.

Yea if you don't mind getting pulled over do it. But I'm definitely moving the plate to the trailer hitch extension everytime I use it now...

That is neat, but how much crap do you need for kids? I've got 4 kids and my Excursion has beaucou room like your XL should
Make sure the seals are good and it's securely latched. Nothing worse than the stuff inside getting wet and finding it when you get there. Did a trip with similar setup from Seattle to Austin once in winter. Get to Texas and found almost 8" of water in bottom of box. Seal had twisted

My wife doesn't understand packing lite. We take the whole house for a week vaca. It seals pretty good, tried it with the hose to rinse off all the packing dust. It has a rubber seal and also a drip rail type that has weep holes in the front.
