  I have a box for my porto pot in my vanagon.  I made the lid of the box so
that it fits into the top of the box without any hinges and it has a 'rim'
around the top to keep stuff on the box...with the rim and some of that
shelf liner rubber type mat that box is either a seat or a place to stash
stuff, on the box, while traveling.  I often have a cooler sitting on that.
I also sized the box to fit under my Z-bed and give that some support when
the bed is deployed...My SO is disposed to "plunk down" rather forcefully on
the edge of the bed...I put a couple of hand holes in the ends of the box so
you can easily lift it around.  The lid comes completely off and the pot
lifts right out...I have room for my TP, some deodorizer, the doggie leashes
and my bike locks inside...  I used 3/4" birch ply for the top and some 3/8
baltic birch for the box itself..hardwood on the top and bottom to take the
hits from other cargo and I rounded the edges to save human and canine
tissues from damage..

  Not a very detailed pic..but it's not a complicated box either.
