In my opinion, the speed restriction makes
little difference - having to go 60mph instead of 70mph?.....  who's in a mad rush anyway when you're going camping?  Chill out and enjoy the drive, lane 3 is overrated anyway!

Dont know about you but I'm always in a rush to get to site, pitch up, feet up and wine/beer open

As FamilyCamper5 said, differant speeds for different boxes.....personaly I'd rarther adhere to those 'in the know' than run around the motorway picking up my kit :O

Gotta agree with lane 3........I keep on the inside lane and usually sail past em all whilst they're on the brakes, bumper to bumper ;)

We had this decision when we first started out a few years ago. We decided to get a trailer and have a 4x3 trailer  with extension and love it.

We keep it loaded with most things ready to go for last minute weekends.

We have roof bars and lockable bike racks on the roof. We find it works for us but everyone has different needs.

Good luck in your choice

Is there any reason that rear box systems don't seem to get much love? I have been looking at the Thule Easybase and Easybag system (I have storage issues at home). Although not as good as a trailer for load capacity you don't have the disadvantages either. Am I missing a serious problem with this system?
