I'm planning a trip to do The Gibb with a camper and a family of 5. I've been thinking of getting a roof tray / platform but I cant figure out what would be practical to store on it. We are going to be short of space... but there are issues with using the roof.
1. It cant hold much... 100kgs and don't want to load it up too much to keep the car stable
2. Anything that goes up there gets covered in dust. In fact the car will be filthy so getting something from the roof will get me dirty.
3. Don't need a spare. I have one on the back of the car and two on the camper.
4. Don't need fuel/water. 60l of fuel in the camper and 120l of water. I also plan some spare water in the car with one of those flexy tanks in the footwell.
I could put a dust sealed storage bag for dirty washing, spare clothes and general kids stuff. Basically anything i only need to access occasionally rather than daily. Other items i can think of are:
Kids bikes
Generator
Fishing rods
Maxtraxs
Awning
Has anyone got any other suggestions / ideas?
