Luggage on the roof?!

Post by simonruth »

Anyone any idea about how much weight the front "luggage area" of a Westy pop top can hold? Was thinking of strapping my awning there - about 18kgs - is this feasible/sensible? Thanks.

Sounds OK, I have had about that on mine before with no dramas.

Our massive awning strapped up there as we speak, should be fine.
