Any suggestions for luggage racks/cargo carriers for convertibles? I was looking for suggestions for luggage racks or cargo carriers for a 2005 PT Cruiser convertible. I found the kind that attach to the trailer hitch like this one: http://www.etrailer.com/pc-CC114~52017.htm The only problem with the type pictured above that the hitch from Chrysler is only rated for a tongue weight of 100 lbs. If the carrier already weighs 50 lbs it seems like a lot of trouble to go through to carry 50 lbs. I asked about changing the hitch to a proper class one hitch that would be rated for the full 200 lbs tongue weight but I've had a couple of places tell me that it's a bad idea to exceed the recommended 100 lb limit set by Chrysler. (because the extra weight may mess up the suspension/ the steering etc.) Does anyone have any alternate ideas, products, suggestions? Thank you both for the info & opinions.
I am looking for truly airline approved pet carriers, for in-cabin and/or Cargo Bay? I am planning a long distance relocation (14 hrs) with my wonderful pooch (19lbs./18" L 10" H) He is an absolute joy and is truly and honestly proned to quiet with days between barks and even rarer whines still all the while ever the social love bug. He is perfect for traveling in the cabin, but I want to make sure he is comfortable while abiding by airline regs. But every bag claims to be Airline Approved. Part of the journey he might be confined to the Cargo Hold, same issue, need to make sure he is safe and comfortable. I would greatly appreciate hearing from experienced and well-traveled Doggie Parents with sound advice! Thanks

Cargo Carrier with no roof rack? Does anyone have any experience using one of the soft cargo carriers without a roof rack? I have an Accord sedan - but no roof rack. I'm not having much luck finding one of these that doesn't require a roof rack - and doesn't cost a fortune. It won't be used much, so I would like to spend a little less, if possible. thanks!
Getting a CARGO CARRIER for the roof of my car..I have questions! :S? http://www.rei.com/category/4501515 With carriers such as those on that site, do I need to buy anything else to put this on my car? My car is getting racks put on soon first and once we have those, I know the carrier will go on that, but do I need to purchase something to hold the carrier to the racks or does it come with something? I hope someone gets what I'm asking and knows from experience. :) Thanks!!!

Where can I find SUV cargo area measurments? I am trying to find a website that lists the cargo area of SUVs. My friend is looking for one with enough room to store her bike. She wants to be able to leave the bike in there when she goes to work and then go for a ride afterward, so an external bike carrier will not do. I figure the cargo area needs to be at least 62" long with the seats folded down to fit her bike. Where can I find cargo area length statistics?
How much MPG can I expect to lose carrying a roof cargo carrier (Thule, X-Cargo, etc.)? I'm going to be buying a roof cargo carrier for my Chevy HHR. I currently get between 29 mph and 32 mpg on the highway, depending entirely how fast I go. I'm going to be travelling soon, and for the extra cargo carrying capacity I'm going to get a roof-top cargo carrier, like this one (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02872020000P?mv=rr) and I'm curious to know if anyone out there has one, and how much of a hit you take on your MPG? Assuming my normal MPG is 30 mpg, what do you think my MPG will be with a cargo carrier on the roof rack?

How do you attach a rooftop cargo carrier with 4 straps to a 02 Ford Escape luggage rack? The straps are on the sides and the metal clips are shaped to fit between the door and the frame of a sedan but it's apparent that the luggage rack is the only way it could possibly work on the escape. I hooked it to the inside lip of the track on the Escape's rack, but I'm worried that lip isn't big enough. It's an older Sears rooftop carrier. Thanks! The rack isn't in the way, I have to use it because the clips are "j" shaped and they won't fit the large lip of the rear door frames.
Are tie downs on top of a car safe? We are traveling back from Florida to Virginia, and we ended up with a lot more things to bring back home. Instead of getting a cargo carrier on top of our SUV, my husband suggested we just tie down the suit cases with tie downs and with those bungee cords. I am reluctant to do it, but I've seen it done before....my point is, I just don't want to lose anything down the road, and I don't REALLY want to get a cargo carrier, because we wouldn't use it THAT much.
Traveling internationally with a cat? Cabin or cargo? I'm traveling from Morocco to the U.S. with a cat next week and I'm incredibly nervous - I've taken care of all the requirements, so that isn't an issue, but I'm really concerned about the flight. First, we have a layover in Europe - so is it safe to put the cat in cargo? She's small enough (as is her carrier) for the cabin but we weren't able to reserve ahead (long story) for her place - also, she's calm but meows A LOT and I'm worried about taking her in the cabin because of that. Lastly, should I give her a tranq or not? It's expensive through our vet, so I don't want to buy it unless it's a necessity. Can anyone ease my fears about cat travel? Dragonfly: They have a special cargo area for pets that is ventilated and well-lit. She's not going with the suitcases! Wildatheart: Sorry, this is a permanent move and I have no other options.
Moving to UK from Canada with 2 Cats? I'm making a big life change and moving to the UK. Just in the beginning steps and have decided to take my 2 lovely cats with me as well. Do you know of anyone that has gone thru/going thru the same and can give me some tips? So much info on the web in getting british passport (mum was born in England) and then getting the cats ready to take with me (travel case, cargo carrier, shots, timing and stuff).

Stowing luggage in a truck bed? Hello, What's the best method when putting luggage in a truck bed to prevent it from getting wet. Driving 12 hours down to florida so I am pretty sure we will hit a storm or two. Could I just buy a car cargo carrier and just sit it in the bed of the truck, I would think the weight of the luggage would keep it in place. Would a 20 dollar tarp work. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks.
