Coming up the M5 last week the wife (can’t take credit for spotting this one) notice a trailer that has a roof box fitted on top of the trailer, the trailer still had a cover underneath the box. Has anyone seen this done and know how to do it??

I've seen it done, also on the M5!

No idea how though.

Why not make life so much easier and simply get a trailer tent

With the amount of stuff we take I’d still end up putting a roof box on top of that as well!!!!

 Saw a car the other day with a narrow roof box and 2 canoes on the roof, 3 bikes on the back of the car, a trailer with 2 more bikes on a set of roof bars mounted on that.

Might go for something on the trailer to put bikes on myself!

Even with our trailer with high sides we still have loads inside the car. Problem is I was a brownie and hubby was a scout and the brownie motto was be prepared. There is also a rigid top that you can get for our trailer, and roof bars can be fited to this. We hav'nt got one yet but watch this space!!!

 I saw a trailer with a roofbox on it lastweek on the M5 too.

After the main mob left Bruce's a co-worker of mine arrived with Hubby and kids in their VW Camper towing a trailer. The trailer had a roofrack fitting which held 4 bikes, this was removed (large split pins held it to the trailer corner posts) turning it into a bike stand when laid on the ground - very impresive, hubby then set about removing a frame tent and all the equipment from the trailer. Along with then they had some friends who had a Renault Scenic towing another camping trailer, this one had the roofbox fitted to it in similair fashion, bothe were constructed by my friends husband and worked well.
I have seen variations of these before but must admit that these looked very profesional.

It wasn't them on the M5 as they decided to stay at Bruces till last Tuesday and then came home!

You can see the trailer with the roofbox and the Bike rack (detached) in the background of this picture!

we have just brought a little trailer for our camping and we purchased the hard top for it and the roof bars so we can add our roof box to it and bike racks.

We carry our kids bikes on bars on the top of our trailer. Fantastic use of space if you ask me.

I've also seen trailers with roof boxes and folding campers and trailer tents carrying stuff on frames to use the space.

W e noticed the same thing on the M 5 last week and thought great it can be done, a little more space is so useful .
