I am aware of the 10% rule thanks for the info!

A company called Pelonis  makes them...check them out on Amazon

Yes, I am aware that not enough tongue weight  can cause issues. I will do a test run before first trip.

I have a 1200 watt one and we actually turned it off after an hour or so because it got hot in our QS6.

I can fairly easily pick it up......not to heavy.....when loaded  I expect to be under 150 lbs which I was told was a safe weight.
Do not anticipate tongue weight issues.

Final pieces cut and installed. Getting close to complete. Mounting holes drilled in the kitchen box and the trailer deck. Time for final hardware and cosmetics. I expect to complete this in the coming week.

Coming along... almost ready to cut the final panels and assemble all of the components and attach it to the deck.

Applied a sponge painting technique. This will be on the rear panel which becomes a dining table with removable legs and the top panel will get the same treatment and extends the factory table on the side of the trailer. Then about five coats of clear to seal it up real good,

 I had  a very productive weekend working on my rear deck kitchen chuck box project. I will post pictures as it evolves.
The board on top serves two purposes- it will support the rear of a roof top carrier while the front rests on the trailer right above the wheels.
It also will attach to the factory outside table near the door and run full length of the trailer from the door to the rear of the trailer.
Instead of doors on the rear there will be a removable panel that will serve as a 56 x 31 inch table. The whole box will be covered with a large grill cover.

I moved this to the upgrades and modifications  section......future updates  and photos will be there.

I am curious if there is a defined weight capacity for the rear deck. Thought I read 150 lbs?

  I use two heavy duty mic stands as a back-up. I cut a board that sits on top and connects them. This works quite well as a supplement, My original bed support is still in factory condition.
