Our house loves to camp, but we always have one question - fitting our gear into the car. When we had a smaller family, we somehow managed to jam it all in. But as our house increased in size, so did our storehouse needs. We purchased a bigger car, a roof rack, and a roof top carrier for our luggage. Here is what we learned in the process:
The Problems with Roof Top Cargo Carriers: We discovered from touch that roof mount carriers have serious disadvantages: they are awkward to load, reduce gas mileage, can be very expensive, and are bulky to store. Here are the details:
Rack Rails
1. Difficult to Load: A roof mounted carrier fits on the top of a vehicle, which requires lifting your gear up above your head or climbing on the roof to load the gear. This is cumbersome, time consuming, and physically tiring.
2. Difficult to Mount: Roof mounted carriers may wish extra hardware which is time attractive to install.
3. Wastes fuel: Roof mounted carriers cause needful aerodynamic drag which makes your machine work harder. This can reduce gas mileage by 5-6 miles per gallon or more. Studies by buyer Reports and Edmunds indicate that roof top carriers reduce fuel efficiency by an median of 20 percent.
4. Reduced Safety: Roof mounted carriers make a vehicle more unstable in cross winds, raise the center of gravity, and growth rollover risk.
5. Expensive: Roof mounted carriers can be very expensive. When you add up wide cost, including cross rails and mounting hardware, prices for top of the line boxes range from 0-0.
6. Difficult to Store: Hard shell roof boxes are bulky, and they take up needful storehouse space.
The lowest line: Carrying your gear on the roof of your car has needful disadvantages: it requires climbing and lifting, ruins aerodynamics, cuts gas mileage, causes a sail effect, is expensive, and the boxes are bulky to store.
The Solution: Fortunately, there is a better way - rear mount cargo carriers. The new class of rear mount cargo carriers attach securely behind a vehicle and are easy to load. Rugged and weatherproof, they are a great alternative to roof mount carriers.
Advantages of Rear Mount Cargo Carriers:
1. Easy to Load: Gear can be no ifs ands or buts loaded at ground level (no ladder required)
2. Easy to Mount: Mounts speedily and no ifs ands or buts to your lift gate or trunk (no extra hardware required)
3. Saves Fuel: Virtually no aerodynamic drag - increased miles per gallon
4. Safer: Lower center of gravity, does not growth rollover risk
5. Cost Effective: Won't break your budget
6. Easy to Store: Folds compactly to the size of a brief case for easy storage
