Planning to make the coach a Vacation cruiser with no toad.

So i'm looking for a 72" hitch basket for the bikes and the Blackstone. 60" are cheap and plentiful but that extra foot is harder to find, might have to get it fabricated.

I'm also looking at the massive phillips head screws that hold in the rear panel - how thick is the aluminum on the other side?

I'm thinking i could replace the screws with tiedown eyes, they would still hold the panel in but also give me something to attach to.

The outer ones would have a cable/turnbuckle to stabilize the hitch basket and the middle ones would take tie downs to hold the load.

Any fatal flaw in this plan?
