Summary:A storage compartment for a vehicle capable of being coupled to a trailer via a coupling. When in a coupled state, a space is defined between the trailer and the vehicle. The space includes a swing clearance area for the trailer. The swing clearance area is bounded by a front portion of the trailer, and an arc traversed by the front portion of the trailer, about the coupling, within the space when the vehicle and the trailer are combined and in transition between a straight configuration and a turning configuration. The storage compartment is adapted to attach to the vehicle within the space such that at least a portion of the storage compartment extends rearward beyond a forwardmost point on the arc, but without extending into the swing clearance area.
