HI

IM sure this has been covered before, but i couldnt find on the search facility!

We have a Duuo trailer and will soon need the roof box we have too. When the roof box is on the car it is hard to reach etc, is it possible to fix the roof box to the trailer. AT the moment the trailer has a tarpuline type top, we obv want to keep the contents of the trailer dry, so how do you fix the roof box to the trailer and still get to the trailer is it possible. Hope that makes sense

You *could* load your trailer, and then cover it as normal.

Then use two thick wooden batons (40mm x 40mm) placed accross the trailer, and sit the roof box on top of the batons.

Using rachet straps through the roof box mountings, loop them underneath the trailer, so that the roofbox is wrapped all of the way around the trailer.

Hope that makes sense....

Mr Jewelly

thanks for your help , looking at the design of my trailer Jewelly's idea looks like might be easiest.

Thanks everyone

Hi

We just bought a homemade trailer whch has a large box type lid which has roof bars attached this will take either top box or bikes. Will get some photos on here later this week. There was a really long thread about this last year with loads of piccies of homemade/customised trailers I couldn't find the thread but its worth doing another search cos they were very good. If I find it I'll let you know 

Heres my one, it's an erde 122 with load bars and roofbox all from Halfords
