My wife caught the camping bug last year and thought she needed one of these (or a larger vehicle) to haul a bunch of kids stuff for camping. She does not pack light. Anyway, after looking around some, I ended up getting her a Sportrack rooftop bag from Canadian Tire for under a hundred bucks. I won't go on and on about how awesome it is because it really isnt. However it is functional, it did/does just what she needs it to do and for the price i paid it doesn't matter if it lasts long. And the added benefit is it is easy to store, the box is not much larger than a shoe box. The reviews I read expressed concerns about it not being waterproof, etc. but we got around that by strategically packing things inside the vehicle if they could not be allowed to get wet. Anyway, it's a cheap alternative.
