Has anybody any experience of a bak rak - see www.bak-rak.com.
its a rack that fits onto your tow bar and means you dont have to tow a trailer and ideal i hope for tent and bits n bobs....but is it any good and also did did yoiu fit it to a swan or ball type fitting
We got a thule bike rack - you can strap stuff to it - haven't tried it with a tent yet, but Fiamma do a waterproof soft bag (cargo back) which looks as though it would fit.
Also, Thule do a 420litre add-on plastic box for the bike carrier Thule
Overall, dearer than the bak-rack, but possibly more flexible ?
Thanks - i believe Thule are bringing out similar piece of kit as Bak Rak to fit onto tow bar
I like the idea of the bak rak - reduces drag over roof top box (which can be noisy - had one on my land rover and couldnt hear the radio!) and dont want to tow a trailer. Just seems an awful lot of a load just fitting onto the ball of the tow bar
Was a thread posted on here a while ago about a similar concept.
The products are obviously designed to fit on a tow bar so if you stick to the max. load that the products are designed for you should have no problems.
Went to Halfords to look at trailers yesterday. This could be ideal for what I want but would need a large 'box' to put on it for all my camping stuff...ideal for tent and toilet though...got me thinking ;)

Don't think this would be a problem providing you kept within the vehicle manufacturers towball limit - remember to include the weight of the carrier itself in your calculations.
