It can easily accommodate a PACKED full size travel bag with some other smaller items, no problem! - Access and capacity: as mentioned earlier, I used this for two years straight and had all my camping gear such tents, folding chairs, water toys, shade tent, snow shoes, bike rack, rope, sleeping bags (yes this extra "trunk" fits a lot!), so it was important for me to access this from either side of the car and I could do that without an issue! - Waterproof: No water ever came in, and I wasn't worried even if it did since I had a couple holes in the bottom (had to put two holes in for the cargo holder to fit to my existing Outback racks - more on that below) - Flexibility and locking: because I had sleeping bags and sometimes pillows for camping, I would need to press down to be able to lock the top. The material used was very durable but had enough 'give' to work with the internal upward pressure of the sleeping bags and pillows and would lock fine! Talking of the lock, the design was simple and strong. Weaknesses: - Propping mechanism: I had a love-hate relationship with the propping mechanism. On one side, I loved the simple space efficient design (simplicity = durability here) BUT I often needed to play a balancing act - while standing on a step stool or the inside of the car - to get both side in. The problem was that the design allowed you to disengage by lifting up... But after you propped one side, you also needed to lift up to prop the other side, which would disengage the propping mechanism of the first side! It becomes much better after some practice 😅 - Fit: I drive a Subaru Outback and I made the carrier fit, but I needed to drill new holes. This wasn't an issue for me but consider that this may not be a "plug-n-play" solution - Base firmness: this comes with the caveat that I had to go a little wider as far as where the box sat on the racks, and as far as the weight and materials I stored in there (heavy metal bike rack), but the base did show some signs of sagging after two years of constant weight and weather. It wasn't enough to touch the roof of the car, and I could've supported it with a couple metallic beams, but the bases structure could be sturdier. The designers here relied on geometric stiffening but could had added a couple mms of material for extra durability. - Aesthetics: although generally appealing, the box is not the prettiest or slickest, but aesthetics were not my top priority. Also, the sticker that comes on it does not come of easily and leaves a dirty sticky patch, that, even if cleaned, will still show due to sun fading. So if you think you will want it removed, go ahead and do as soon as you get it (use some googone) and you should be good! In summary, this is a well priced high-capacity, high-functionality, high-durability cargo box that looks OK. I love it! Review: Great Purchase - I waited almost a year to write this review because I wanted to test this carrier on a number of road trips. After traveling about 2,000 miles with this carrier attached to my 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, it passed every test with flying colors. First, it was easy to install. I had to drill two pre-marked holes to enable it to fit on the van’s cross rails, as the rail positions on this particular van are not fully adjustable but this was easy to do. The carrier also easily held everything I needed it to hold: Large suitcase, duffle bag, dog food container, small suitcase and a beach canopy, etc. The 18 cubic feet capacity should be large enough for most people’s needs. I followed the instructions and ensured that the heavy, large suitcase was positioned in the middle of the carrier and between the cross bars to support its weight. The locks work OK but are only made to keep the top of the carrier secured to the bottom. They are not high-quality security locks and wouldn’t serve that function. I discovered that if I manipulated the latches with one hand while inserting the key into the locks, the key slid in pretty easily. I can only assume that if the top comes off during travel, like I read in some reviews, the carrier was not locked properly. It was my experience that when locked according to the instructions, this carrier is very sturdy on the road. I traveled many miles in the rain with this carrier and water never got inside. It also sat in the rain in hotel parking lots overnight on several occasions and did not leak. Some water did pond on top of the carrier while sitting in the rain overnight but splashed off pretty easily when opening without getting inside. I covered the unused holes on the bottom with black duct tape to keep water out while driving. The carrier also withstood gusts of wind up to 60 MPH without any issues. I did not notice any additional wind noise from the carrier when driving at highway speeds and did not notice any loss in fuel efficiency, either. Overall, this was a five-star purchase for me. I don’t know that there is a better carrier for the price. I am glad I purchased it and highly recommend it to those considering a roof top cargo carrier. ## Features - Secure & protect your gear in this 18 cubic ft.

This week I embark on at 2000 mile road trip, the real reason I bought the carrier, so I’ll report back after that trip with any updates. My experience so far: my car didn’t come equipped with crossbars on which to mount the carrier, so I had to order those first and figure out how to mount them. Once I got those installed, installing the carrier was simple. I had to drill new mounting holes as my crossbars were not the default distance apart. That was a simple process, and the carrier has regularly spaced markings for drilling other holes. I was able to lift the carrier onto the roof of the car by myself (with a ladder). It’s unwieldy, but not heavy. The mounting hardware works well. I was immediately impressed by how capacious the carrier is. I loaded it with some test cargo in order to see how stable and quiet the carrier was on my roof. I was impressed. Again, I haven’t taken it for many hours at highway speeds yet, but in neighborhood traffic, and for short bursts of highway traffic, the carrier is stable and quiet. so far, I am pleased with this purchase. UPDATE: We just completed the cross-country trip, and this carrier performed admirably. There was some noise from wind, but nothing that really caused a problem. Clamped down tight before departure, none of the components that hold the carrier to the crossbars vibrated loose. The front clamp held fast. No adjustments were necessary at any point on the trip. Great performance and value! ## Frequently Bought Together - JEGS Rooftop Cargo Carrier for Car Storage - Large Roof Rack Cargo Carrier - Heavy Duty Weatherproof Storage - Made in USA - 18 Cubic Ft - 110 Lb Capacity - Aero Hard Shell Cargo Carrier - TOOENJOY Universal Fit Car Door Step, Foldable Roof Rack Door Step Up on Door Latch, Both Feet Stand Pedal Ladder, Easy Access to Rooftop for Most Car, SUV, Truck, Max Load 400 lbs(Orange --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/55417586-18-cu-ft-rooftop-cargo-carrier-weatherproof-lockable-110-lb](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/55417586-18-cu-ft-rooftop-cargo-carrier-weatherproof-lockable-110-lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
