Another delivery today and have to say I am pretty chuffed.
Been struggling with what to do on the roof rack and then I found someone who could make me a custom roof box. Made precisely to my dimensions. I could have gone for a square box, but I like the notion of having some sort of drag reduction. Ja, right. I know.
It's all alloy, thick lid that will take a normal person's weight. I might put solar panels on there or maybe shovel, tools etc.
It has weather and dust proof locks, fully welded seams.
Certainly not a brick shaped as the tent.
There is room to undo the zip on the tent but it's tight. Waffle boards might go in there but I have other ideas for those.
Pop top!
Two gas struts to help opening and a full weather seal
Now this isn't what I am going to put in there, but the table does fit in there and so do the waffles.
I really want it for things like chairs, gas bottle tools maybe. It just means that stuff is harder to nick and it's not in the truck falling out every time I open the door.
Now, what I do want to do, is put the waffles under the box on the rack. I could raise it so that they slide under. Or. OR. OR .....
I might put the box on sliders so that it can move forward with the waffles underneath. This means that I can also slide it forward so that it doesn't obscure the front window on the tent.
May not be everyone's cuppa, but it's a practical storage solution that gives me peace of mind. I may put grab handles on the side to so that I can use them when standing on the sliders.
