I'm a cabinetmaker by trade and have been kicking around the idea of
producing a small batch of portable camper cabinets.
I haven't had time to figure out a good attachment method yet. Using
the jumpseat hardware would involve making an expensive latch for the
box.
They could bolt to the back of the wheelwell if you don't mind drilling.
If there's enough interest I would consider making some next winter. I
plan on doing a prototype for my wife's GL as she camps in it on her
art excursions.
I'll post pics somewhere when I get that one done.
