Review on AmazonBasics Rooftop Cargo Carrier Black by Ray Richards

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Survived a 1100 mile trip from Michigan to NC in a severe winter storm - Very Happy Customer

Took this on a 1100 mile trip (round trip) from Michigan to NC in a severe winter storm With. Since I've never used it before, I put our clothes in kitchen trash bags before putting them in this RevainBasics cargo bag. There was no moisture in the bag to/from the destination, everything inside was 100% dry. I did not use the extended part of the bag. It fits 4 garment bags per person (approx. 3-4 days per person), 3 pillows and 1 large dog bed. I used attached straps to attach to our hitch post, no additional straps where used or needed. This bag fits perfectly with our hitch post (20" x 48"). When I got home I just put the bag in the shower to wash off the road salt. I let it dry and then wiped it dry inside and out with a towel. I put it back in the storage bag for future use. I also used a hard shell shipping container for the roof rack. This container has water/ice seeping into the front (top and around the rim). There was no water in that bag. Photo taken along Interstate I-80 in Ohio on December 23, 2017 (winter storm).

Pros
