Yep apuds, that was my theory as I first got the bike rack back in 2004, it was another 5 years untill I got the Thule BackUp Box.
I can't just blame the Thule BackUp and the problems that I had, as the car was packed to the gunnels with all the camping kit, so much so I had first removed the rear passenger bench seat!
There ain't much room in a VW Golf Hatch Mk7 for a bunch of camping gear, but these days we seem have got it sorted.
I am much happier towing the Trailer, which puts around 50kg onto the towbar, even though I am towing 550kg or so.
I still remove the rear bench seat out of the car, for when we go to France, not only does this free up a little space, but allows the rear seat uprights, to fold down completely flat.
Getting a Trailer was probably the best thing we ever did, I have made small additions by adding a 520lt RoofBox to the Trailer, and a Tongue Box which is great for holding two 907 CampinGaz cylinders and a bunch of tools.
The icing on the cake was the car RoofBox, a modest 380lt job, that's perfect for holding all the soft stuff like bedding and mattress's etc.
