Morning! Just picked up one of these:

http://www.thule.com/en/gb/products/carriers-and-racks/bike-carriers/towbar-mounted-bike-carriers/thule-rideon-9503-_-950300

off a mate, would really like to have a largeish box to fit onto it to stow extra kit when camping & not carrying bikes.
I know Thule do a box & bags that go on one of their other basket type racks just wondering if anyone knew of another manufacturer that produced one to fit with this rack?
Cheers ๐Ÿ˜€

I looked into the Thule towbar box thing but it was obscenely expensive so I got a 2nd hand roof box instead. It gives more space, leaves the towbar free for bikes and far cheaper.

Cheers, Yes, you need a different rack, basket & then box, which is stupid, lovely bit of kit though, not going to buy that system though.

Just wondering if anyone had seen anything that another manufacturer does that will work.
If not may have to build something.

I think the Thule box only works with "Thule EasyBase 949" not bike racks.

Yep that's right, which is mega expensive, any other manufacturers do something that might fit or could be adapted to fit with a bit of machining/welding? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Roof box is out as on a T4 & not fitting roof bars plus lifting the awning up into it would be near impossible ๐Ÿ˜‰
