If the best case scenario comes true for my chase trip this year, there may be a time when I will have 5 people with me for up to 6 days (6 total, including me). My car is a wagon/suv crossover that will seat the 6 of us comfortably, except for one thing. I'll lose the majority of the space for our luggage and gear by raising the third row seats. There will be some room for a few duffel bags and maybe 2 tripods behind the third row, but everything else will have to go outside. Cameras will have to be held on laps.
So, I may have to look to some type of external storage system this year. A roof mounted hardshell container would seem problematic (wind resistance and accessability), so I'm leaning more toward a rear mounted rack. No fragile gear outside, I'm thinking some suitcases, bags and non-valuables. Something that is enclosed (weatherproof) is a must.
Wanted to know if anyone has done this and what your recommendations are.
