We have bars that go across at the front and the back. We also have an assortment of bike racks and the like that we use when we need more.... why?

The factory cross bars are generally kinda flimsy - and the picture of the carrier you attached looks like it is shown with sport bars. Depending on how much wind gets up under that thing and how it attaches, the sport bars may be required... so you may wanna figure that into your costs.

You just don't know how close to the truth that is :lol:

Not many people over here use roof top storage on their cars.

How much stuff do you need to take on a road trip? Doesn't it all fit in the boot?

Lots, we like to camp and we don't like to do laundry or shop, so we take as much as we can damn well fit in. :lol:

I wish you'd stop spying on me, though, Bruce (and who cleaned my car?)

DucksNuts 08-01-2007 07:56 PM

BS Ali ;) there are hundreds of those things traveling up and down the highways.

Aliantha 08-01-2007 08:13 PM

Maybe in Victoria where it rains. Peeps around my parts seem to prefer trailers.

So you don't do 'roughing it' type camping? ;) What do you need clean clothes for anyway?

Not on long road trips. We like a 5-person tent for us, a separate one for the children and airbeds :D


Don't necessarily need clean clothes, but prefer not to have to chip them off the children which is what happens after more than 2 days max. (We're going for 3 weeks)

Aliantha 08-01-2007 08:20 PM

HOLY SHIT! No wonder you need extra storage space.

FWIW, The one I have doesn't attach to sport bars. It attaches with four clips to the groove above each of the side windows.
