Hi Skip

I have decided to go with 2 roof baskets;

1 x half size Rhino Rack basket 1400 x 580 $199 ARB
1 x half size Rhino Rack platform 1410 x 610 $219 ARB

The idea is that they can be used together or seperately and allow flexibility with items such as awnings, bikes, baskets of wood etc.
The mount for any awning can be fitted under the basket so it will be a good fit.

No but will have soo the idea is that you can be flexible and take both or just 1 depending on your trip. the flat rack can carry bikes timber etc and the basket can carry items like awnings roof bags etc.
the fit the 120cm racks perfectly half centimetre each side.
I generally just have the platform on the roof around town (had a Rhino basket like yours until my wife found the local shopping centre was fine at one point and was a LOT lower at the other (sigh!)
