The container has a bottom portion and a top portion releasably hinged thereon. The container rear wall has a tapered box-like portion extending inward and adapted to receive and substantially surround a wheel mount member of the frame. Wheel attaching lugs extend from the wheel mount member through the front wall of the box-like member into the container and the spare tire is received and secured to capture the container between the spare tire and the wheel mount member. The container top portion is removable and adapted to receive leg members for conversion to a table. A modified top portion has openings in the side walls covered with wire mesh for use in transporting animals.
