A cargo and storage apparatus forming a closed, sealed container having two independently hinged storage receptacles adapted to be hingedly mounted on the rear exterior of a van-type vehicle to provide two sealed compartments useful for carrying items such as suitcases, bags, sports equipment, camping gear, tools, etc., each storage receptacle being independently hinged so that, when unlocked, it can be swung horizontally outward out of the way of the rear doors or lift gate of the vehicle, to provide access to each compartment as well as the interior of the vehicle, the hinges being mounted in the rear light recesses and the light fixtures of the vehicle being mounted in the respective storage containers. When in a closed, locked position and while traveling, the storage receptacles are held in alignment with each other and are supported by an alignment plate mounted on the rear bumper of the vehicle.
