Hi I have just bought an easybase from tesco direct and it is a fab bit of kit about 2 mins to fit to the car, you have to fold down the upright bar to open the boot but  you can't have every thing, for a box I got one of these   http://www.outstanding-keter.com/catalog-in.asp?cat=14&pr=3&num=29   it  was only £30.00 from homebase and I will be holding it on with some small ratchet straps. hope this helps

Hi COURTJESTER.

                            I got the Thule 900 BackUp Box last November £140, I already had the Thule Euroclassic Pro 902 Bike Carrier, which I got back in 2006 onto which the BackUp clips, almost obscuring the 902, to just to reveal the lights and number plate, fits like a glove around the 902 frame, although a huge 420Lt the BackUp is only rated at 50Kg which is fine as I only intend to fill it with the Canvas and ZiG some 48Kg, the BackUp is made from stronger stuff than thier roofbox's, and is shaped in such a way as to be aerodynamic, and aesthetically pleasing to the vehicle, the Thule takes 5 mins to fit, using 4 supplied clamps, no tools as it uses handwheels to fasten up from the inside, and the locking mechanism is very secure, access to the boot is possible, as the unit drops down on the towball, all in all a fine piece of kit and definatley made for the job intended.

Hi there,

I have a towbar bike carrier and I'm not sure the Bak-rak ones will let you open the boot easily once loaded.  The Thule ones should let youy tilt the bikes back and then you can open the boot.

Have a look here, they sometimes have somein the bargains section:
