The UWS 48" Standard Chest for UWS Hitch Cargo Carrier part # UWS01022 is Aluminum so it is going to be lightweight compared to other toolboxes. It weighs about 45 lbs so you would want to make sure not to exceed the weight capacity of the cargo carrier on the back of your motor home. Since cargo carriers carried on the back of a motor home have a tendency to bounce around more than on a vehicle hitch I recommend mounting the tool box to the cargo carrier with self tapping screws like part # 3403. The box itself measures 48" long x 20" wide x 20" deep so you want to be sure your cargo carrier is the correct dimensions.
