One thing to think about.

Anything stolen from a locked roofbox on a locked roof rack is generally covered by your car insurance. Bags held on by bungee cords will not be.

Peace of mind during comfort stops on motorways etc.?



But doesn't that apply to the contents of trailers too? So why would a load of gear under a tarp on the roof be any different? I'd be more nervous about a trailer as it is easier to access closer to the ground.

Now which way round should you put a top box on. Blunt end or sharp end first. after All fish are blunt at the front and sharp at the back and they are very aero-dynamic.

Sharp end to front and blunt to back they're shaped like a wedge - like so many cars have also this basic shape - its the drag at the back that slow you down other wise.
