This past week while vacationing, I seen a 3 wheeler with a little basket that held a small cooler that went into the reciever for a hitch. Does anyone know where this small "basket" can be found?

Welcome to TrikeTalk. Take a look at this ebay link: hitch cargo carrier | eBay
There are many here, and most of them may be larger than what you are looking for, but I found one there this sumemr that works perfectly for a cooler or for one of the Totes plastic crates -- no more than 30" wide.
You can also do a Google search for a hitch rack designed for ATVs, as they are a little smaller than those made for cars. Good luck

Thanks! I will definately check that out! We have a small trailer that we pull behind for longer trips, but for smaller "weekend get-a-ways" it would be nice to have a small cooler to have with us!
You will find that most of the commercial ones are too large, but you can build one on your own. All you need is a section of square tubing that will slide into your receiver hitch and then mount a support plate, or small rack/basket on the tubing. Sorry I don't have pictures of the one I built.....but I sold it with the trike. I could simply slip mine out of the receiver and take it into the motel room. It's not that complicated and you can build your own for just a few $ with some imagination, a little hardware and simple hand tools.

There ya' go.....can't beat that!
I have actually made a few of these. We have quite a bit of "drops" in our metal fab shop to do them with. We paint them black --look pretty good !!

I made one completely from aluminum bar and plate and installed a tour-pack rack on it. The whole thing hardly weighed 7-8 pounds. BUT....I have a good neighbor with a TIG welder too.
We made ours with 1/8" angle iron with an expanded metal deck---never weighed one but wouldn't think they were much heavier than that
