So what's cheaper in north America?

Post by lloydy »

Family are doing a few visits to Canada over the next few months, so my brain is whirring whith what I can get them to bring back.
I'm planning on getting this http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details. ... parent_id=" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
And maybe this http://www.gowesty.com/ec_view_details. ... parent_id=" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Tempted by the lift springs too, for $299 they are pretty cheap
Any other/better ideas?

Storing stuff in the spare wheel is a good idea when we go away with 4 sometimes 5 on board every space is taken. I prefer a box on the front rack it can double as a little washing machine as you drive.

The spare wheel bag just looks like a normal bag to me. I'd be looking at dry bags to keep stuff dry if storing anything out side.

The spare tyre bag i was thinking of using for rubbish or maybe swimming costumes or similar. I would quite like a box for the front rack, can never find something that makes most use of the space though.
Jed, can't promise, but maybe... Does gunzle not work out cheaper?

Give us a ring and I'll give you the Canadian address, you can find out postage then. Make sure you choose an American made one so there is no import duties
