Roof boxes.

Our reasoning and expectations behind this

 

The Roof boxes.


The boxes are currently fitted to open to allow access from the side of the van,  ( >__< )  but we may reverse that if a central walkway is fitted, ( <__> )

More info and Photos and a full write-up to follow soon.

In-use reviews.

Pros.

Removable so roof rack can be used, or overall height lowered.
Useful storage for light bulky items.
A large amount of storage space.
Frees up internal storage space.

Cons.

Not waterproof, (need dry bags for clothing, etc).
Poor security.
Easy to overload.
Quick access is difficult, (needs a ladder).
Increases fuel consumption  🙂
Difficult to mount solar panels on current boxes, (boxes may be changed, for flat top ones).

Our conclusions.

The additional storage space and ability to be removed outweigh the disadvantages.
