 I've just noticed the UKCS advert for Handirack & holdall. Works out at around £250

Much cheaper than fitting standard roofbars and price includes the holdall as well.

Has anyone bought one of these? Sound too good to be true!

120 quid here.

I got my feet, bars and roofbox new from Roofbox.co.uk for less than £180

We have the handirack and holdall system, it is a great system except for if it is raining when you are on the road, the rain seeps through the straps and drips inside the car, not very pleasant

Bought the rack and holdall last year.

Had seen comments that rain can get inside car - no such problems. Had also seen comments that rain gets into the bag itself - so only put items in that didn't matter if got wet. Huge amount of extra space. Once we arrived at site, took bag and bars off and kept stored away. less space than usual roof box.

Suited our needs perfectly.

Just noticed the typo error on my first post - costs £125 not £250 and that's without the £5.00 discount offered via UKCS.

Thanks for the info, might persude OH to try it out.

We have a company car that's due to be changed so don't want anything permanent and this sounds like a reasonable compromise. Perhaps we'll still be able to fit the tent, gear and kids in the car after all!

BTW mentioned it to my friend and she thought it was April Fool a month earlier!

Hi we had one of these and we used it a few times whilst we decided if we liked camping, we did and have just invested in roof bars and box now we have decided to carry on. Its a good comprimise if you are thinking of changing your car soon. Had no problems with leaks just make sure it is all really tight, fits loads in! One tip don't leave the 'bar' on in the sun! We did (maybe being a bit nieve and lazy!) and one of them popped.
