We have a huge Cabanon frame tent & Skoda Fabia estate and 2 kids!!
We started off with just the car. Was very tight even before we had all the kit we have now. Then we bought a roof box. This year we inherited a trailer from someone very kind on here.
The roof box we had was the Halford 280?Litre one (the smallest). We did manage our trips like this with the sleeping bags, deckschairs, etc uptop but the car was still a squeeze. Packing to go and come home was a bit of a krypton Factor Challenge.
We have just returrned from our first trip with the trailer and we didnt bother with the roof box. It was slightly easier but still a squeeze. So next time we will also take the roof box and hope to travel in comfort (no washing up bowl on my lap) for the first time ever on a camping holiday.
If you go for a roof box I would recommend splashing out on the biggest one available. Halford do a 500+Litre on which can carry upto 75kg. If we get another roof box, as long as that would fit the car OK thats the one I would spalsh out on. Always buy bigger than what you actually think you need.
The same if you end buying a trailer. Buy bigger than what you anticipate will do the job!!
Sorry to tell you but you will probably end up with both eventually.
