Looking for some extra storage. Hoping some of you have some experience on the advantages/disadvantages of either option I am considering. It's mostly for low weight/wet stuff. Walking boots, snorkling masks, toys for the kids, etc.
Considering:
1) a roofbox:
- Fits in front of the single solar panel.
- 50/75 KG storage
- I believe it can stay on the roof while opening the roof, but that doesn't feel right.
- Makes the Cali higher then 2.0 meters
- Harder to reach then bike rack strorage
2) a waterproof bag on the bike rack (Like the look of the Thule EasyBag)
- We hardly ever bring bikes
- 50 KG storage
- May not be able to open the tailgate (while the bag is in place)
- Makes the van longer
Have considered other options, like the Thule easy rack on the tow bar but don't like the looks of it.
