I put thus on chat but think you guys might be able to help.

So I desperately need a bit of extra storage space in my car for a camping trip. I can't afford a roof box and bars but I remember ages ago someone on here linked to a big box / tiny trailer that attached to the back of your car the same way that a bike carrier would.

I have googled and googled but can't seem to find anything like this. Can anyone help please?

Was it from this thread?

millimat · 28/06/2014 21:37

If so I'd love to know what's happened to them!

EdYouKateShaun · 28/06/2014 21:42

YES! That's it! Doesn't seem like you can get them anymore :-(

You want to google hitch mount cargo carrier. I saw one the other day in Florida the brand was Rola, but it's $800+ on amazon. Thule do them also

Is this it? Here?

EdYouKateShaun · 28/06/2014 22:01

I think you need a tow bolt for that Maureen.

You can hire roof bars and box if that would help.

Yay! I knew someone would remember!

I was on that thread too Blush

tailcrate are no more then? Sad

bak rak too have a crate bit...

HerRoyalNotness · 28/06/2014 22:36

I think you need the tow bar for most of them OP. There is a bag type one that attaches to a hatch with straps, can't remember what it's called, it didn't have great reviews though.

www.rightlinegear.com/cargo-saddlebag-cargo-bag-setup.html try this, I only get us sites when I google, if you try you might find a uk stockist

They do an edge carrier too for the top can be used without roof rack and is only $70

EdYouKateShaun · 28/06/2014 23:08

Thanks HerRoyal I looked at that and they will ship from America but it wouldn't arrive in time. I'm currently looking at an inflatable roof rack.

I always thought it was strange that nothing more was said of that product as it sounded amazing. Didn't aitch from mnhq test it? Maybe she knows more?

millimat · 29/06/2014 08:16

Also just read through that old thread and weblette was a neighbour of the manufacturer so if you find her the mystery may be solved?

Found the UK supplier, and hope you don't mind me setting up a new thread but thought it would be easier for people to find in the future if the name was in the title:
