Which is more practical, suitcases or Universal Roof Racks, for self-driving tours, camping, and long-distance travel? Let's talk about this topic today to help everyone find the most suitable choice for themselves!
Universal Roof Racks has a large loading capacity and is suitable for users who need to carry large items, such as bicycles, skis, etc. The height increase is small and has little impact on the vehicle's payload.
The roof luggage box has a moderate loading capacity and is suitable for small items and long-distance self-driving that requires more safety, such as camping equipment, but the height increase is obvious, which may affect the vehicle's height limit.
Universal Roof Racks are low-cost, but cleaning and maintenance are more troublesome. It is difficult to keep fragile items stable on it, and it takes time to tie them firmly.The roof luggage box is waterproof, dust proof and sun-proof, suitable for camping and other outdoor activities, but the price is high, it will increase fuel consumption, and it is troublesome to disassemble.
Universal Roof Racks do not increase fuel consumption when not loaded, and are suitable for short-term use, but they are not anti-theft and are easily blown by the wind.The roof luggage box is locked, anti-theft and safe, and suitable for long-term use, but it is not recommended to buy high-end luggage boxes when the frequency of use is low, which is a waste of money.
In the choice of roof luggage boxes and luggage racks, Universal Roof Racks are obviously more practical. This is because the roof luggage box needs to be placed horizontally during installation, which not only increases the wind resistance of the vehicle, but also leads to increased fuel consumption. In addition, installing a roof luggage box may affect the roof structure of the vehicle, and may even cause the roof to deform, increase the risk of water leakage, and thus may affect the normal operation of the internal electrical appliances of the vehicle. The luggage rack is light and has less risk.
In contrast, Universal Roof Racks is a device specially designed to expand the cargo space of the vehicle. Its main function is to load items that cannot be placed in the trunk, thereby providing additional storage space. Universal Roof Racks can not only store a large number of items, but also ensure driving safety and keep the interior space tidy. In daily life, Universal Roof Racks has a wide range of application scenarios. Whether it is a self-driving trip or a visit home, it can play an important role.
Be careful when selecting and using it. Try to choose lightweight materials (such as ABS plastic or carbon fiber). For short-distance/low-frequency use, install only when needed to avoid long-term unloaded driving. Control the speed of the vehicle. Reduce the speed when driving at high speed (such as keeping it below 100 km/h) to reduce the impact of wind resistance. During installation, the torque of the fixing bolts meets the requirements of the instructions. Regularly check the stability of the connection between the frame and the crossbar.
