I just took ownership of a 2017 Gulfstream Class C. Does anyone have any recommendations for a tow hitch storage box? My spare tire is not mounted and takes up valuable storage space. I was thinking of adding a storage box that could mount to the toe hitch. Thanks for any thoughts!
 
The first thing I thought of is "do you have a back door on your storage area that will be blocked by a storage box in the hitch?" If so, you may want to consider a drop down spare tire carrier.

Maybe something similar to this:

This is just the first one I saw, I'm sure there's many different ones out there.
 
I ended up putting my spare tire in the basement so I had more room outback for my storage box and bike rack. When I did have a flat, it was the beefy repairman that had to man handle the spare out of the far corner of the basement. When I bought a replacement, I had the guys stuff it back in there for me.

Below are two pics. At first I installed a folding cargo carrier. Then I put in a dual hitch so I could put the carrier on the upper hitch.  This made it easier not to scrape going in and out of sharply angled parking lots.

Next I decided to tie the sides of the cargo box down so that it would not bounce off by accident. Eventually I added crates, also tied down to either end. Typically I put my water hoses in one and in the other leftover fire wood or the mini poop tank.

I can't find my pic where I finally moved the tire and installed my bicycle between the toy box and rig.

Below is a link to a pic of what my door situation is, hence my reply, the pic is not my RV, but similar.
