    Yes - I've got two.





    They're good. I haven't had any problems with mine. They've pretty much kept all dust and water out when travelling.

        We finally went the MSA Bag 1200x1800 size so we could put all our tent; bedrolls;bags;sleeping bags; chairs; pillows in for the 5 of us.... With the roads we covered in our trip, the bag went really well. My only complaint would be the straps or the more the buckle system coming loose during the days driving.... Spoke to the suppliers and the problem will be solved soon as the extra parts arrive in the mail.

        I was leaning towards a Rhino bag but saw one beside an MSA bag recently and there's no comparison. Extra straps, lining, better fabric and extra covers make the MSA a great bag but I think it'll be too big for most of my trips.

        Infront are Aussie made, made to order and can be customised and have 30% off until next week. I think I'm convincing myself...will let you know

            Nice. Guess it was too cold for the truck to make it all the way to Sydney yesterday.

            Got a weird look from the wife when I told her I'd ordered a bra from the guy making the roof top bag...

                After 7000+ km of some very very dusty roads I can say my Rhino bag is 100% dust proof.

                    I picked up a MSA 1200x900 Roof Bag yesterday, damn they're a good quality item. I can see why they are that little bit more expensive.

                        Hi folks , I'm in the market for a bag now. I was just seeing if anyone had anymore recommendations or pros & cons after using their bags for a while as this is an older thread.
                        Thanks Matt

                          What are you looking at putting in it Matt? I just picked up an Oztrail RV Swag Sac (double) which is a great size (for me any way). It's 1500 x 50 x50. and is made of PVC with fully welded and reinforced seams and excellent zipping up/velcro access and has solid stainless steel D rings for tieing down. It will fit nicely down on side of the Rack allowing for my Oztent to sit down the otherside.

                            Hi Craig , this may be a good option for us. Thinking of storing self inflating mattresses chairs, sleeping bags etc. This will be the first time loading up the rack as everything usually gets thrown in the camper but unfortunately couldn't get it on the boat on the right days for Tassie so will be camping. We are going to buy an Oztent RV5 but have been holding out incase a decent 2nd hand one popped up. This will have to sit on top as I have the pioneer tray. Any space saving suggestions would be great. I was thinking all gear I could on top & food/ kitchen utensils in draws. Do you have to tarp up your oztent bag cause they don't look waterproof?
                            Cheers Matt

                              Place it on the roof with the zip facing down and backwards. Will survive most rain.

                                Matt I have had a custom PVC bag made up for the Oztent just to keep the Red dust off it. It's a simple bag with a Velcro flap on the end.
                                And as Randall stated, put you bag with zipper facing down for extra protection. With regards to the large bag, drop by one arvo on the weekend to have a good look at my one.
