Be careful about adding cargo storage to the rear of the trailer. Anything added to the back affects your tongue weight negatively. Remember the tongue weight should be 12 to 15% of the total loaded weight. Put too much at the back and you may find out what sway is.

I used a Curt bolt on receiver to my bumper. I mounted a contico box I already owned to it by using a bracket sold at Tractor Supply (dee-zee?). I only keep lightweight stuff in there...sewer stuff, outdoor mat, spare chocks, leveler blocks, and sand toys for my DD. I also put water hoses in them if really dirty. I was going to store my breaker bar and lug wrench but decided against it since they weigh alot.
