You are absolutely right, the B+ does not have much (?adequate?) ouside storage. But you knew that going in, as did I. My problem is that I just found out from the R-Vision horse's mouth that my plan to put a storage pod (in this case a Yakima SpaceCadet) on the roof to the rear of the A/C will void many (maybe all?!) warranties. What I DIDN'T know and was NOT told prior to purchase is that the Trail-Lite B+ line is not built or certified to carry any additional weight or objects on the roof. (It does have a factory installed roof ladder, so the roof can at least carry my own 200 pounds transmitted to the roof through my ~ 1 sq ft footprint). I think the emphasis here is on "certified", as the factory rep I spoke with hung more lawsuit crepe than I could ever have done while I was practicing medicine. I am not even allowed to see or receive a fax of the roof framing/structure for fear I will use that info to install something that will result in an accident that will in some obtuse way result in significant liability to R-Vision. This is absurd but nevertheless their stance and policy. I should back off, but ....
ps - if anyone out there has mounted a roof pod or carrier, please email me:
