Hi everyone. I was reading old posts yesterday and came across handirack and handiholdall. My wife adds new gear to our already enormous collection regularly and I was planning to purchase a trailer or roof rail and box. The handirail seems like the perfect addition to ourcamping gear as Iit can be rolled up into a small boxand stored Iin the boot. It is also water proof and gets good reviews. I was wondering if anyone has one and what do you think. We're off on our first trip of the year may bank holiday so I'll take a few photos and post them.

I haven't personally used one myself so can't answer your question but you may find this helpful.

We have got one of them and used it to successfully transport a 4'×3' garden shed home. ( dismantled of course ) A distance of approximately 10 miles.

I've used these Rhino double soft racks for about 7 years . Taken two SOT's at motorway speeds to Scotland and Cornwall ,used to carry long lengths of timber.. http://shop.rhinosurf.com/rhino-double-rax-plus-63-p.asp

We have just used ours for the first time. Put table and then mostly bedding in it. Did a two hour journey on motorway no problem. Husband likes that you can take it off once you are on your holidays.

Don't leave the rack on in the rain.... It wicks through and your car gets soaked.

Other than that they're fab!
