Re: Roof Box or Pod
I think I might choose a slightly shoter one.
I have plans for mounting electronics inside, as opposed to luggage so, the longer one may not be so advantageous.
Though from recent events I get the impression I may need to make provisions to be able to use it for such things as well. Might need to fit some clips and connectors.
but yes, good suggestion, but I feel a shorter one would suit my needs more that a long one with spacers.

Re: Roof Box or Pod
We have the Rola Rack 360 litre roof box, so far only used it once to the Grampians. Sat on or just below the speed limit and didn't notice a vast increase in fuel consumption. Have found they are great to store light camping items such as sleeping bags, camping chairs etc. Will get some more use over the holidays.
If you require extra storage and can't find a place for a trailer they are a good option for those weekend getaways.

Re: Roof Box or Pod
For those contemplating a roof box the Pro Rack Exploro 2, 360ltr is on sale till the 5th April .Its normally $430 now $300 quiet a good saving and if you want them to fit it they charge $15.Im grabbing one for the camping gear etc for next years adventure to Tassie and like Jalal has said great for putting wet gear in rather than the vehicle

Re: Roof Box or Pod
I got an all-weather luggage bag from Alan (rescue1) for my roof basket.
Easier to have stuff all in the one bag which clips onto the roof basket cage and then use an ctopus net to hold it all down when the bag is not completely full.
