The bag is completely waterproof and safe for travel. I would bungee is or use straps and they stayed in place.
You can see better quality trays, even aluminum but I picked these because I was new to RV'ing and didn't know what to expect.

There are also options to purchase hard-sided enclosed hitch carriers in many sizes from many manufacturers. I've seen quite a few in campgrounds on smaller motorhomes with limited outside storage. They are particularly common on Class Bs, often with a swing-away hitch so rear doors can be opened (that option adds cost but not needed on most Class As).
Some go up to 50+ cubic feet, although that much volume seems too large to me for the limited weight-carrying capacity unless mostly hauling light items like chairs or bikes.
This thread highlights for me the benefits of one larger mega storage compartment at the rear. I had one on a large rented Class C and quickly learned to appreciate how useful it was. I wish smaller motorhomes like Axis/Vegas would include one in their design.
