those water proof bags that go on the load bars look like an interesting alternative - easier to deal with when not in-use?

Used one of those several times. Great alternative, easy to store.

I bought one and they have 2 down sides that I found. 1st they aren't totally water proof as our luggage got wet after a typical Florida afternoon dump. 2nd is no way to secure your items for an overnight hotel stay, so you have to unload it. A bag is more convenient, a box is much more versatile.

Thought about a hitch box but I can’t find any that will accept hitch bike rack. Plus that will put a lot of strain on my hitch. I just don’t like the bag look. Storing isn’t an issue for me, I’ll hang it in the basement floor joists or in the crawl space. This trip out to Ohio I’ll be using my friends box but would like to have my own for future use. Like for putting camping gear in when I go out to raystown (October ish)

Ha! No! That would create a storage issue. I’m building my pieces up for the future. Future will bring an adventure sprinter van. Wifey has buy in already so I figure I’ll start getting some wise storage options now.

Thule evolution 1800. I bought this second hand a few months ago for a road trip. We just got a new car and this box is too big for it. I ordered spare keys so now there are three in total. It works perfectly. I live in Atlantic Highlands. $275
