Reese Explore 63604 Rainproof Cargo Tray Bag: Securely Transport Your Gear in Any Weather

Alicia: update: four years later and we are using this same carrier on vacation as we speak! it has been an excellent purchase, still juat like new, has taken us on cross country roadtrips every year! still the best purchase ever!

This is excellent! Great quality for such an inexpensive price! Was a little worried it wouldnt make our trip, but it is very durable and we plan to use it again next year, and I see many years we can get use of this!! We took a 4800 mile trip around the East coast and this kept everything dry even through some major downpours and rainstorms! Also has so much storage! We are a family of seven with 4 kids 7-15 and a 10month old, it held our playpen, lightweight stroller, large suitcase, 5 duffle bag size bags, so the only thing we kept in our SUV was a cooler! It was the best purchase we could have made for our family road trips! Holds so much more than the expensive rooftop carriers, and so easy to get in and out of! We made a 1/2 inch pvc pipe frame like another reviewer suggested, made it very easy to load and unload this carrier, when we stopped at hotels we took all our bags out and playpen inside the hotels, and laid the seats down...

LindsayLindsay: Appearance: Conservative color choices with black and grey which is nice for not making too obvious that you have a cargo bag (I'm always afraid of leaving unattended for prolonged times but the color selection blends into the vehicle). Initially it appears like it would be a perfect rectangle shape however regardless of what you put in it the tightened straps will change the shape (see picture). I like how there is a flap covering the zipper portion which keeps with the low profile look. The material to touch appears very durable same with zippers. The included pictures are after 8-10 times use with prolonged sun/rain exposure (little to no fading or cracking of material)

Functionality: initially it does not appear like much will fit however once you start packing it you'll notice it expands. In the picture, I have a large rug Doctor unit, row of diaper boxes on bottom, and the right side have 3 long cardboard boxes w binders standing up in it, and a bag of items. There is still room for smaller items that may fit in between. Perfect for our Yukon that is carrying multiple passengers. The material does not stretch so becareful overpacking as the zippers...

Andrea PolkAndrea Polk: I purchased a  CURT 18153 Basket Style Cargo Carrier  and will be using this product with it to take my daughter to college in late summer. I unboxed this product to check its build quality and to make sure it would fit the cargo carrier as expected. It does fit fine, and seeing it opened up I can now visualize the items I'll be storing in it for travel. I think it will be perfect for light weight items like bedding which will compress when the included straps are cinched down.

At first glance I think the product is on par with the price I paid (fifty-seven dollars), and perhaps a tad better. I lived aboard a sailboat for several years and used similar bags for deck storage and on a dingy. It's not as heavy-duty as those, but I do expect it will be waterproof and maintain that ability through Oregon's changing weather patterns which can include downpours and blazing hot sun in the same day!

Call me Captain Overkill, but I may put garbage bags around all the items I put inside, just in case. I think the way the bag is constructed it would be tough for water to get inside unless there was a hole in the bag. But I think...
