Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this thing about 3.5 years ago and used it once or twice for a short camping jaunt. Finally got around to using it for distance and recently did a 1300 mile road trip up 395 in California. Very windy areas and it worked great. No noticible noise above what our roof racks create and still got 26 mpg in our Mazda 5. ** edit for an update ** We took another road trip a few weeks later and drove around 2800 miles. Once again this carrier did great, including trudging through 5 monsoons in Arizona & New Mexico, one of which was the heaviest rain I had ever driven in. Only a tiny amount of water came through the open bottom holes, which is easily remedied with some tape but this was an extraordinary amount of rain. So nice not having to load up more inside the car. **edit new update 1/2019** Drove 4200+ miles Summer 2018 and this thing did great. It just keeps on truckin'.
