phantom Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi does anyone have any advice about buying a roof box - size, make, good idea v. bad idea? How much should I spend etc - we have a Elddis Autoquest 320 if that helps? Thanks Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champstar Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Never been a fan of roof boxes as they add to height and drag. We use a back box fitted to the bike rack. That is ok if you dont want to carry bikes of course. Im sure someone will be able to answer better about roof boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b6x Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 For what it's worth - I had a roof box on my Swift and 6 months later discovered a major problem with water ingress in the roof. Vowed never to touch them since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Dwight Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Had one on our old M/home, water in through roof caused by roof box. Took it off increased top speed by 10mph and made a big difference to mpg. Everything that was in the box we rarely used, so it was a complete waste of time. David ps the box do's make a useful storage box in the Garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
