As with anything . If it's engineered ? It'll be fine . Obviously don't store anything heavy back there . Keep in mind the total weight .. The equal and opposite reactions prevail big time here .. Things like awning, screen covers etc .. Can a similar box be fitted on the front ?

Has anybody added a rear carry-box to the chasis members of a lunagazer? If so, what engineering recommendations are available/suggested?? PR
Just be careful of overall length of van and that you don't go over the max allowd.
Keep Safe on the roafs
Adding weight to the rear of your van may cause it to become unstable.
There's been plenty of examples of ''carry boxes'' & bicycle racks left behind (dropping off) unknowingly along the highway.
The chassis of your caravan wasn't designed to have anything hanging off it. Congratulations on purchasing a lovely caravan.
The following link leads to a demo of caravan Stability that should interest everyone with a Van.

The chassis is pressed section and perforated giving it less weight. I would be very wary of adding any extras that may
compromise the structure under it.
