Hi ghez check your Vehical manufacturers maximum roof weight limit ! ,this limit applies to the weight of box and contents +the roof bars !  so first time its a good idea to weigh everything in ,then keep a note of what to put in there !

We use straps that are recommended for roofboxes but they arnt ratchet type one because we felt they would scratch the roofbox ,we got ours from Wilkinsons for a couple of quid ,we use them just to be on the safe side !

I've just got a roofbox and bars from

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/directory2/details.asp?revid=572&typeid=

Ordered them on monday night and they were delivered on Wednesday.

Not actually fitted it yet but the website and staff I spoke to seemed knowledgeable. The deciding factor for me was that it came straight to the house and I didn't have to try and fit it in halfords carpark.

Is where we got ours from, it came within a couple of days and is huge! We've used just the once, but it was great not having the kids squashed in the back with all the sleeping bags and 'extras'. We used 3 straps on it, just to be ultra secure, we didn't fancy all our stuff spread all over the A19!!
