Car top carrier this one has served me well

5000 miles no noise

The straps are a little difficult to get right the first time, but once you have figured it out it's a breeze. The straps are long so make sure you secure the unused ports or you will hear them hitting the vehicle if they are flailing around. Once I have it loaded I then secure it to the roof, cinch it down and wrap the extra around the the tied down portion.


I did spend a lot of nights in it, I would recomend this for sleeping, you can use it as a full size or deflate either side as needed. I haven't used it in a year and it still has air in it.

The first review was very lengthy and had some great suggestions…including bungees and/or cable wrap with combination lock for ‘fail safe’ on the road, and extra security while away from the vehicle.

I am fine squeezing into pretty small sliver of space, usually sleep next to the tire…but the last trip with ice chest/food box/tent//chair/ AND tire was ridiculous! If fact, this fall I was near a marina and it was raining and I didn’t feel like setting up camp…..so I got a room at a lodge by the water. The next morning was Atchafalaya level fog! Luckily, there was also a restaurant at the marina, so I had breakfast, watched the fog and waited for it to lift…this was in Utah, I seldom see fog there

Since my husband died, I just leave sleeping bag and food/water/gear in the SUV.. There are lots of times I just decide to spend the night wherever I am instead of going home.

Didn't use any of those except the lock and didn't have any problems, but go with what makes you comfortable. It will make getting into a lot more work. Make sure to buy a small foldable step ladder unless you are 6 ft tall.
