    Don't suppose anyone has a roof box they're not using next week? (and would be willing to loan me)

    My wife, kids and 3 adults are going away for a week to a caravan and with the "occasional" seats up in the qashqai there is no boot to speak off.

    Steveo,
    I have a largish one that fits Square section Thule roofbars. Only problem is that I’m not in edinburgh at the mo - back late Saturday night. If a Sunday rv worked, then maybe ok?

    I don’t actually now own a car, so you’d have to come to me, sorry!
    Niall

    Stevo, if NiallA's offer doesn't work out, let me know. We have a roof box you could borrow.

    @steveo, can’t your mum have a seat in the car like everyone else, why’d ya have to put her in the roof box?

    Random but relevant triva: The Finish call these boxes mother in law carrying boxes.

    We have a bag (Thule Ranger 90), rather than a box, which makes it significantly easier to store when empty. From now on I will remember to prop something up in the middle of it when it's empty and parked at a campsite so that water flows off it, rather than puddling.
