This'll make you laugh - this topic comes up time and again and the camp is divided as to which is best with most people agreeing that eventually you end up with both!!  See us campers like taking loads of gear and the more you buy the more you want, you get the picture!! 

We have bought the Thule Back box which sits on your towbar and it is massive plus you don't have the drag of a a box and it is much easier to load.  Do you have to have a Skoda fitted towbar?

HI

Try towsure Bar

I am just getting a roof box for my trailer....

(say no more!)

Both here too

Haven't yet had to use both together though, but I'm sure the time will come.

The ability to keep the equipment stored in the trailer ready for the off is a significant advantage, although it does of course mean that you can't use the trailer for other purposes unless you unload all the camping equipment.

If you're keeping it fully laden for long periods it's best to put it on axle stands, otherwise the tyres, wheel bearings, and suspension will suffer.

Have a trailer which is great, fulled to the top with everything.  Plus hubby takes it on very regular (perhaps too regular!) trips to B&Q and the dump.  However much space you have, you'll always want more.

How much to take an HGV licence? Surely that would be enough room!
