We bought one that I think can hold 150 pounds. It has a metal mesh bottom, rail sides that are about 6 inches high, and carries folding chairs, small foldable table, a propane bottle, a portable fire pit.
I hold the entire load down with black rubber cords. It takes 10-12 cords to secure the load.
We bought it online.
Go online, and there are many options.
I keep it in the garage. It's best when two people insert into the receiver on the back of the RV. I tweaked by back doing it alone one time.......

I use this Reese hitch hauler with this deck storage box. I reinforced the deck box inside with mending brackets. Attached it to the hauler with large bolts and washers. I did have to cut the corner rails of the hitch hauler for the box to seat itself fully. Also used the hitch tightener to make it not rock while moving. The hitch hauler has a locking pin and the deck box locks.

Tons of storage. I have less than 150 lbs of stuff in there. Very happy with it. Click image for larger version

What does the extra 150 or 200 pounds do to your tongue weight? Can you balance it out by adding stuff to the front if you are not over weight? These are the questions that stop me from adding a rack to the back bumper. The spare tire can be moved to the side out of the way, or support hitch off center to keep the spare on the bumper.

I mounted our spare under the chassis in our Greyhawk 29MV

I have a Class C. A 2014 Sunseeker 2500TS. Ir came with the spare tire mounted under the coach (towards the rear axle)

My hitch allows 500 lbs of tongue weight. Like I said, I'm using it for about 150 lbs of stuff, and maybe 75 lbs for the weight of the basket and deck box.

My RV has three slides. The one that sticks out the rear has more than enough clearance to extend over the deck box. Click image for larger version
