Another vote for Atera. Just did 2200 miles with four bikes on the back. Does move slightly when going over bumps which took a bit of time to accept it wasn't going to fall off Smile Very easy to use as well

Cheers

It is worth pointing out that the Altera come with 13 pin electrics but roofbox.co.uk supply a 13 to single 7 pin adapter. The only issue with this that the the reverse lights don't work but legally this is not an issue as the regs don't require them. However, I bought a 13 pin to dual 7N/7S from these people:-

I then used plastic cable ties to secure it to the rack.


Gaza,

Are you saying that I should have bought a diff 13pin->7pin adapter instead of the one supplied form RoofBox? Confused

Yes. And No. Wink As I said the roofbox supplied adapter only covers the legally required lighting and not reverse lights. The piece of kit I purchased allows all lighting to work fully by plugging in to both 7N and 7S sockets.
