Choosing the Perfect Caravan Toolboxes: Jeb’s Top Picks from the Supreme & Leader Range

At Adelaide RV, we know that one size definitely doesn’t fit all. That’s why the Supreme and Leader ranges come with a variety of caravan toolboxes – each designed with different travellers and towing setups in mind.

Smart storage can make all the difference. Whether you’re setting up camp for the weekend or tackling the Big Lap, having the right caravan toolbox keeps your gear safe, organised, and ready to go.

Recently Jeb shared his updated Top 3 Toolboxes on our YouTube channel, and we’ve paired his insights with the latest model specs so you can choose the right one for your next caravan.

Why the Right Toolbox Matters

A well-chosen caravan toolbox isn’t just about looks. It’s about:

• Weight balance: Too much weight at the front can affect your ball weight and towing stability.

• Practical storage: From generators and BBQs to hoses and wheel chocks, everything needs its place.

• Ease of access: The right layout ensures you can grab your gear without unloading the whole box.

• Compatibility: Some toolboxes require an A-frame extension or work only with certain van layouts.

With that in mind, here’s Jeb’s updated list of favourites.

1. TO8 Double Slider – Jeb’s Favourite

If you’re after a serious all-rounder, Jeb’s top pick is the TO8 Double Slider.

Key features:

• Dimensions: 1400L x 500W x 550H

• A-frame extension: 450mm required

• Storage: Generator slider on one side, BBQ storage on the other

• Bonus: Wood storage tray on top (optional flat top available)

• Gas bottles: Mounted out front on the A-frame

Why Jeb loves it:

“It’s big enough to store your generator and BBQ, but not so big that it overloads the A-frame. With gas bottles mounted separately, the weight stays balanced.”

The TO8 suits caravans with a squared-off front and a tunnel boot — it won’t work with a front boot. The design also improves turning clearance, making it easier to navigate tight campsites without the tow vehicle making contact.

2. TB7G – The Old Faithful

Coming in second is the TB7G, a proven performer in the Territory and Xpedition models.

Key features:

• Dimensions: 1300L x 600H x 440D

• A-frame extension: 300mm required

• Storage: Gas bottles enclosed on one side, generator storage on the other

Why it’s popular:

“This one’s been around forever. You can still have a front boot in many layouts, and it fits both Yamaha and Honda generators with ease.”

The TB7G is a great middle-ground option – secure, tidy, and with enough space for essentials without going overboard on size or weight.

3. TO3 – Compact & Practical

For those who want a smaller, lighter caravan toolbox, Jeb’s third pick is the TO3.

Key features:

• Dimensions: 1180L x 310D x 485H

• A-frame extension: 300mm required

• Storage: Open cavity (no gas bottles inside)

• Light: Minimal ball weight impact

Why Jeb recommends it:

“Perfect for hoses, wheel chocks, electrical leads – all the bits you need quick access to. Small enough to lift the front boot lid over it.”

The TO3 works well for travellers who don’t need dedicated BBQ or generator storage but still want the convenience of a lockable front storage space.

Other Caravan Toolboxes in the Range

While these are Jeb’s personal top three, the Supreme and Leader toolbox lineup has something for everyone:

• TO1 TB7G: Similar to the TB7G but standard on certain models, with generator slide-out and enclosed gas bottles.

• TO4 ALGEN & Webber BabyQ Slider: Dedicated generator and BBQ storage; requires 450mm A-frame extension.

• TO5 Webber BabyQ Slider (Gas Bottles Roadside): Works with rear HWS placement.

• TO6 Webber BabyQ Slider (Gas Bottles Door Side): Allows HWS at the front roadside.

• TO7 TB Gen/Gas/Web: Triple storage for generator, gas, and BBQ; must have no front boot.

Choosing the Right Caravan Toolbox

Here’s what to consider when deciding which of our caravan toolboxes is right for you:

1. Your travel style – Do you free camp often and need generator storage, or stick to powered sites?

2. BBQ setup – Will you be bringing a Weber Q, BabyQ, or a Ziggy?

3. A-frame length – Some boxes require 300mm or 450mm extensions.

4. Van layout – Front boot or tunnel boot access may rule certain boxes in or out.

5. Weight distribution – Always ensure your chosen setup keeps the ball weight within safe limits.

Final Thoughts

The right caravan toolboxes can make your travels smoother, safer, and more enjoyable. Whether you need a compact storage space for camping essentials or a full-featured double slider with BBQ and generator compartments, Adelaide RV has a solution to suit your setup.

Jeb’s verdict? The TO8 Double Slider leads the pack for versatility and smart weight distribution, but the TB7G and TO3 still have plenty to offer depending on your needs.

Your journey is unique – so choose a caravan toolbox that matches your adventures, and you’ll be ready for wherever the open road takes you.
