Has anyone a Thule Pacific 100 370 Ltr Multi-purpose Roof Box, if you do did you use Thule fitting bars? or another make... does anyone know if it comes with lock and keys.. We have a 98 Mondeo if that makes any dif.

Thank you

Hi RWW Thanks for replying, what comes with the box and what would I need to buy afterwards, it's the first time I've ever bought a box..

Thanks

Thanks RWW again, I just need roof bars that fit my car then so they can be universal.

Hiya,

good lluck.  Personally We always use a ratchet strap around the middle of ours for extra protection having been just behind a car when theirs popped and distrubuted their tent , sleeping bags and clothing all over the M6.

We have used one for years and have never had any problems, we have used it on sevral different cars, just get new bars to fit the car and the box fits on most bars. I do find loading it cn be difficult on top of our c4 grand picasso but if you climb up on the seats you can reach easily then!

happy camping.

Thanks Keithandjulie, I was just talking to my husband about the ratchet straps as he was saying he's seen so many cars tonight with them on, he's a HGV driver so always on the roads, and was saying he's got a couple.. We have a Mondeo and H is tall so hopefully he'll be doing all the loading lol!!!

Can I ask whats okay to put in them? whats reccommended.

Hi weeblewobble, we just bought a Kamei roof box off roofbox.co.uk (members of this site get 5% discount).  We put mainly bulky, soft stuff like clothes, coats, sleeping bags in ours, nothing too heavy.  Remember to check the roofboxes and your car roofs weight limits.  We are amazed how much stuff we managed to cram in to ours.  Only draw-back is consumption, we lost about 5-6 miles per gallon of consumption with our car.  Very handy though!

Thanks for your replies, I'll check the weight limits etc, didn't think off doing that before I ordered one! I told H my finger slipped lol and don't remember putting my card details in hehe...

So the 24hrs alone, I've ordered a Roof box, Cadac, cooking stand and bought a picnic table... mmmm think I should stop now lol!!!

We have something to sleep in and on, tent, cooking stuff and something to eat off.. Now cool boxes lol! thats something I have forgotten!! oops... think I may have to look at getting a cheap one, no ehu anyway!
