Hi everyone,
In an effort to use the backseats of the car for people instead of camping equipment, I've been thinking of getting a roofbox.
Does anyone have any experience with a roofbox narrow enough to fit between 2 roof-mounted bicycles?
We have a bell tent, which is far too heavy to lift to roof height, so was planning on using the roofbox for storing the peripherals.

Thanks Andy,
That's quite helpful! I guess I'll have to get out my measuring tape

We have the Thule Ocean 700 and that is designed to stand bikes on either side of it. It is on our X Trail so not sure how much difference that makes.

Got the Halfords 360L one. No complaints whatsoever with 2 bikes on not a problem. Should be less than £200 as well.------------- 2019: Hurn Lane CAMC, Cirencester Park CAMC & Lytton Lawn
