AWAY 3D Roofbag

Travelling on a road trip is always fun and presents one with a challenging aspect, especially when the car is small.


A car roofbag proves very useful whenever you find that you have run out of space in your car yet still have other items to pack, but to have an easy time on the road, you need to learn the correct way of packing the car roofbag.

 

Improper packing can result in off-balance loading, damage to property being moved or indeed become hazardous to the driver and other road users.


So here is a guide on how to load your car roof bag correctly to have a stress-free journey on the road.

 

Step 1: Choose Proper Roofbag According To Your Car

However, it is vital to realize what type of roofbag is suitable for your journey before going through all these packing solutions.


Roofbags are available in different sizes and styles depending on the car roof size and type, and the amount of luggage being carried. 

 

Size: Select the roofbag that is compatible with your car’s roof and the one which will meet your needs without crowding it.

 

Material: Put your money on something that cannot be damaged by water in case you have to travel during a rainy season or a place that is filled with dust or snow.

 

Compatibility: Before choosing the roofbag it should have the right carrier design for the vehicle or come with straps for the roof rack-less cars.

 

Finding the right roofbag starts with knowing what type of bag you need for your car and your particular lifestyle; once that is settled, it’s time to fill it up.

 

Step 2: Organize Your Possessions

 

Any packing plan should be clear to take maximum advantage of the space of the roofbag.


Start with a list of all those things that are to be put in boxes and start packing by grouping the items according to their size, weight and relevance to you.


It will assist you to know what should be placed at the base of the bag and what needs to be accessed easily.

 

Heavier items: Pack bulky and heavyweight items including; tents and sleeping bags or even extra clothes at the base of the bag.

 

Frequently needed items: Do not forget about stowing something that can be required during the trip – extra clothes and a raincoat.


They should be placed at the front of the bag or inside the car if placing it becomes hard after putting the bag in place. Since you'll need them urgently, it's better to keep them handy.

Step 3: Use Packing Cubes To Be Organized

 

It is also important to subdivide the packing process since it is cumbersome to find what you want in a packed box.


If you do not have packing cubes, you can consider getting some or even use smaller bags for easy storage.

 

These will serve as shelves to keep items separately and avoid the confusing situations when you are in mid of a trip and need a certain item.


Group small items which belong to one category together – put clothing in one cube, electronics in another, grooming and hygiene in another.

 

Car roof bags are incredibly useful when going for a long drive to ensure that you get maximum space usage in your car, as pointed out above, there are a few important things that you should consider putting into practice while packing and loading to minimize any unnecessary stress.

 

When the luggage is arranged, with proper weight distribution and with the bag properly closed, you get a hitch-free road trip.


Not only will that provide more room on the inside of the car for people or pets, but your items will also be secure up top of the car.
