I purchased a Halfords roof box including fittings and instructions from a local car boot at £35. I have seen the same design roof box but made by Thule.

If you are going to buy a used roof box, check for cracks in the mouldings, ensure the hingers are not damage and that they work. Keys are an obvious bonus but new locks can be purchased easily and very easy to fit.

If you wish to buy using eBay, I suggest you buy a roof box between October and March. It will work out cheaper, purchase either side of these months and the prices will soar.

does it need to be a roofbox or would you consider one of these.....

we have one and it is great, easy to store and bars don't have to stay on the car all the time.

Does anyone know about fixing roofboxes to trailers? Have seen a few pics on here and think its a really good idea, just wondered what roofbars were used and how they actually attached to the trailer? I just have a simple wooden lid on my trailer.
