[Closed] Alternatives to BOB trailer bags

I bought a new trailer on Ebay. I expected it to come complete with new bag. It didnt, the shop went AWOL and left a trail of unhappy customers with nothing to show for their money.

So, I need a BOB bag. SJS do them at £60!

That seems expensive for what it is. Are there alternatives out there?

Ortlieb do one that fits, try them. Alternatively the big blue bags from Ikea fit but do not have the same waterproof qualities. I've used the ikea solution and a big holdall with the kit inside in individula dry stuff sacks and that work in some pretty poor weather and going through some rivers which invovled almost complete immersion.

Not "tailored" to your trailer but would one of these do? (and only £20!)

The BOB trailer bag is 94 litres. Ortlieb is 89 litres and is looking good. Anyone tried one of these?
