Road trip storage

[JamesGN]

Hi when we are able to travel again I want to get out on a road trip for a few days and was wondering what everyone's storage/luggage solutions were. Would love to do the North Coast 500, but getting up there to start it is putting me off.

I used a parcel courier!  Packed and wrapped in the morning by us, courier collects and delivers to next destination. It was always there before we arrived!  Takes a bit of organisation but you can take more for longer and it remains dry. 
 

When I did the Cannon Run, they organised transfer of luggage.

Lomo bag and rok straps will get you a long way. Rear luggage rack also helps. Other than that, be strategic with your space.

 

 

I've got a frame over the diff to store my tools (hidden under the boot lid that just looks like fixed bodywork so they don't attract any eyes) 

 

 

 

Also store my jack under the bonnet.

 

2 months hiking and camping around Europe with this setup was great, so NC500 should be manageable!

Wow, one another advantage to a full cage, even room for the beers

Looks good will look into doing something similar

Got a bag made

There are lots of odd little spaces around the car for things like tools, spares and other less often needed things. Then you’d be surprised how much can be stored above the boot box strapped to the rear of a roll bar. (Or maybe not after seeing the sideboard @Robin (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO carries round - though we may laugh, I noticed we all used it at some point at the Silverstone Classic, when a load of us were camping in a group).

 

The (Caterham) rear luggage rack that straps and hooks on to the spare wheel is really handy too.

It made a great coffee/beer table.

Summat like this gets you to Italy and back via France, Austria and Germany, over two weeks.

And you can still use the hood if you have to. 😎

Coming from a biking background, I reckon we will have more space than we know how to fill. As said, lots of books and crannies to fill. Tools under bonnet for me. Couple of bags on top of the boot and away we go.

Bucket and spade a nice touch 😁

Good thread.  Like some of the ideas. 👍

Surprising how much you can carry.
