Good afternoon campers

I've jut received some universal roof bars which I was worried about maybe not fitting on my car.. they do, hurrah, so now I need to get a roof bag.

Do all / some roof bags come with a rigid base? I'm wondering how the bag isn't going to just sag and sit on the roof otherwise. Or do I have to specifically look for this type? I know I can try and pack the bag specifically to support it off the roof and on the bars but was just wondering if there was any purchasing advice

Ta in advance :)

My bag from Argos came with a piece of board for the inside.

Ahh. Great actually, as I can always get a bit of plywood from b&q if it needs one. Excellent!

handiholdall comes with 4 poles (like tent poles) that provide support between the roof bars. You remove then and they split in half allowing you to fold the bag down small for storage.
