Our Take on RoofPax XXL: The Ultimate Road Trip Companion
Our Take on RoofPax XXL: The Ultimate Road Trip Companion
We recently put the RoofPax XXL 28 cubic foot cargo carrier to the test during our cross-country adventure, and we're thoroughly impressed. This rooftop bag offers exceptional waterproofing that kept our gear bone-dry through unexpected thunderstorms. With its generous capacity, we easily packed everything our family of four needed for a week-long trip.
The 10 heavy-duty straps and 4 hooks provided rock-solid security - no shifting or sliding even on windy mountain roads. We appreciated the versatility of being able to mount it with or without a roof rack, making it suitable for virtually any vehicle.
Installation took us less than 15 minutes, and the material quality suggests this will be accompanying us on adventures for years to come. If you're looking for extra storage space without compromising on protection or stability, we believe the RoofPax XXL is well worth considering.
Our Hands-On Review of the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box
Our Hands-On Review of the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box
After three weeks of testing the SportRack Vista XL Rear Opening Cargo Box on various road trips, we're ready to share our findings. This black cargo carrier impressed us with its rear-opening design, which proved incredibly convenient when parked in tight spaces. We found the 18 cubic feet of storage capacity more than adequate for our camping gear and luggage for a family of four.
The ABS construction feels sturdy and weatherproof - our contents remained completely dry despite driving through some heavy rainfall. Installation was straightforward, taking us about 20 minutes to secure it to our crossbars.
While not the most aerodynamic box on the market, we didn't notice significant noise or fuel economy impacts during highway driving. The locking mechanism worked smoothly and provided peace of mind when leaving our vehicle in public areas.
We Review the MaxxHaul Rooftop Cargo Carrier: Worth It?
We Review the MaxxHaul Rooftop Cargo Carrier: Worth It?
We recently got our hands on the MaxxHaul 70115 roof rack to see if it lives up to the hype. This steel basket measures 46" x 36" x 4-1/2" and offers a solid 150 lb capacity, making it suitable for both SUVs and pickup trucks. During our testing, we appreciated the black powder-coated finish that held up well against the elements while giving it a sleek appearance.
Installation was straightforward, though we recommend having an extra pair of hands to help position it on the roof. The raised side rails provided excellent security for our cargo, preventing items from shifting during drives. We found the size particularly accommodating for camping gear, luggage, and even bulkier items that wouldn't fit in our vehicle.
For the price point, we believe this cargo carrier offers substantial value for anyone needing extra storage space.
