Rear Cargo Tray bag

I use large, inexpensive but rugged duffle-type bags from Campmor (www.campmor.com) to hold stuff on my rear cargo rack. Think they may call them "soft trunks". It gets stuff like the outside rug, firewood, swim noodles, etc. Nothing $$$. Held to rack with 2 straps. Gets pretty beat up, between road grime and UV from the sun. Likely not a big attention-getter, anyway. ST

How about stackable Rubbermaid totes? Different sizes for different things then nest them together when you don't need them. You could throw a cargo net over them to hold them down.

i have one on the front of my ram.if its just wood and things that are weather resistant,i'd go with a cargo net.i paid 22 bucks for mine.(the net,not the carrier).

I knew just after I pressed "send" that this was an unanswerable question. My intention would be to use the rack and bag to store chairs and other furniture, laundry, maybe wood. Things which would not be all that valuable, and which I could replace at not-very-much cost if someone boosted them. Bulk, more than weight. So far, I've tended not to leave the rig unoccupied much, so if that pattern holds my presence would be a deterrent to folks that go bump in the night. I hope.

Thanks, folks!

Entirely depends where you are parked......there are thieves about everywhere. RVers often times have their generators stolen from those carriers so they lock them on.

Do not put anything there unsecured if you do not want it stolen. RVers at Quartzite, AZ often loose their generators, etc..

I can't tell you that you will have no problems ever with security. What are you planning on putting back there? I personally don't put anything back there that is expensive. I know some will put their generators back there. My guess is they put them somewhere when they leave.

Just as an option, if you carry bikes at all - I have this rack - http://www.kotulas.com/deals/garage-and-auto/scooters-and-bikes/2in1-cargo-carrier-with-4bike-rack-500lb.-capacity
