We have the Outback and have moved the spare tire to the front hitch. Now we have this empty approximately 3'x3' basket that is begging to be stuffed with something. When I asked Randi, she suggested I could stay there (see PXlated, now I have witnesses). I now realize that is not a good option for me - I'm fragile that way. I started to look for a hard roof top carrier that would fit in there (again, Randi promised to poke holes in it so I could, you know, breathe). I thought it would be a pretty good place to store spare clothing and whatnot, especially for those long trips. I used my Google-fu to search the net and only found soft covered bags. I am not ready to give in the towel yet and am still looking. I now have two avenues I can pursue. 1. See what others are doing with their recently vacated Yakima baskets (besides bikes). 2. See if anyone has any options for my dilemma. Thanks gang.

I've had a "soft cover" when I just had the platform on the Reverse TD. Supposedly water resistant. T'wasn't. Despite my best efforts to keep the carrier bag dry (contents in dry bags), it started to um, have an odor after a while. I like the idea of chairs there. They make humongous ziplock bags for comforters and my two REI folding chairs and a small folding table would fit there perfectly (if I moved the spare, that is).
My chairs are older versions of this (edited - wrong link - didn't pay that much either) https://www.gcioutdoor.com/directors-chairs/xpress-dc.htm
It really does fold up tiny! I wish they showed animation of it. They are comfy too. I don't feel like I'm being launched out of them like some of the others (I like to slouch).
