Can't beat the value! |
|
This is great storage and the ease of installation is super! Bought & used for a camping trip and very impressed with how roomy it is. We have a Jeep and the dog takes up the back end - this carrier held all we needed with room to spare. We will be using this often. No noise problem that we noticed. We did not encounter rain on this trip but I did use a Rubbermaid container that I will keep exclusively for this carrier - and also have space for luggage. Great product and delivery was quick. This is also a great gift idea... |

Good product for the price |
|
Took the advice of other reviewers and wrapped garbage bags around items placed in pack, which was a good idea, because it did let some water in. Don't have a roof rack or a rain gutter on our van, but we managed to hook it to the tops of the door jambs, so that the closed doors secured it in place (this did allow some rain to leak in the doors during hard rains). Made it 5000 miles on a roundtrip vacation to Yellowstone and back. |

overall pleased with space |
|
Overall, we were happy with the product and the space it provided. One negative to the soft top bag is that its not waterproof. We did hit some rain during our travels and our pillows inside were damp. Our other stuff that was in suitcases though, were not wet. |

To Yellowstone with no roof rack |
After reading good reviews of this bag we bought it to put on our 2006 Grand Prix GT for a week long camping trip for a family of 4. This car has no luggage rack and a slightly sloping roof that has little purchase for the included roof anchors. After going about 10 miles (still in town) it was apparent that the included hardware was not going to be sufficient because the anchors kept popping lose from the door frame. A quick stop to a W**Mart and picking up a set of cam buckle tie downs made this no longer a problem.
Keeper 5105 10' Cam Buckle Tie-Down, 300 lbs. WLL (900 lbs. break strength), 4 Pk, i-Pack You attach the end outside the passenger compartment and then feed the rest of the strap through the passenger compartment and attach on the other bag strap outside the car and shutting the strap in the door frame. Using this essentially makes the bag one with the car with no roof rack needed.
As for the bag itself...
It is large. We packed 4 Coleman Cambridge 30-Degree Rectangular Size Sleeping Bag (Tall) (in vacuum bags), a 13'x13' folding gazebo, a Coleman Family Dome Tent, two Big Bubba Travel Chair - Black, a PORTABLE FOLDING SPORTS CAMPING ARM CHAIR w/cup holder, a Coleman H/T Two-Burner InstaStart Propane Stove, a gym bag stuffed with clothes and 4 coats in vacuum bags.
The bag worked great going to Yellowstone and it was easy to pack. On the way back we hit 17 hours of thunderstorms at interstate speeds (worst rainstorms I have ever driven through). MINIMAL water entered the bag but you would be advised to put everything that can't get wet in a plastic bag.
During the beginning of the trip the wind noise that the straps made was unbearable and we were considering canceling our vacation. Then I got an idea and stopped at another W**Mart and grabbed a package of POLY TEX STR10 "BLACK STALLION" TIE DOWN RUBBER STRAP - 10"(PACK OF 10). I put one between the front strap and the rear strap on each side and the noise pretty much DISAPPEARED. This is not a fault in the bag design, it's simply a matter of not enough lateral tension being applied to the strap to keep them from vibrating in the wind. All bags like this will do this if you do not take this step.
Conclusion: If you do not have a roof rack but want to haul a lot of stuff and are willing to spend a few more dollars on the tie downs and rubber straps this is a great bag and I would recommend it. It is also worth noting that a quick hosing off was all that was needed to clean it. |

not waterproof |
|
This bag worked well on top of the car however it leaked when it rained and our suitcases and clothes got wet. I was under the impression it was waterproof.I think next time make sure bags are in a plastic waterproof bag before leaving. It worked well for the money . |
