Rear storage box

[jessie]

We are currently travelling in France in our Beach T5, before setting off we contemplated a roof box for extra storage but decided against this ,we have seen on the motorway a VW
campervan with a white rectangular storage box on the back presumably sitting on a bike rack , it was not the Fiamma one, does anyone know what make this might be? Many thanks.

Thanks for the swift reply, no it looked like a white plastic or similar material, no straps and lower down on the back of the camper.

Do you mean: MFT Box? I think it is a Germany based company.

This is more about the mft which we have and highly recommend. Fits nicely under the bike rack and still allows you to open the box lid with bikes on and lowers to access the tailgate.

+1 for the MFT BackBox, if a mite expensive. Does allow you to swap the box for a bike rack should you wish.

Our Solution, Fiamma 500 Box on a shortened VW Logo Bicycle Rack.
Why shortened ? We Need only 2 Bikes if we take them but the Main Reason is the improved Access to the Back. This makes a great difference for opening the Back to get the Dogs out or to connect the Caravan to the Trailer Hitch.

If I would not have owned the Original Rack already I would now buy the New Fiamma T5 Bike Rack which is even available in Black Color now.

One Note on Boxes on the Trailer Hitch. If you have a lowered Suspension like our Bilstein B14 then most of the Boxes cannot fold down enough to open the Tailgate. So, try before buying ;-)

I've got the MTF one and it's quite good. The only cons I'm suffering is that my Beach is a 2 seats bench one, so the multiflex doesn't allow to access the truck from the interior. Whe the box is plenty open the tailgate is a pain in the ass.

Our van is dropped with H+R springs by 40mm. Can still lower the BackBox enough to clear the tailgate at this level, although it does rest on the ground.

I've got a Thule Bag that can use my towbar mounted cycle rack. I don't think they make the one I have (which I think was called a Cargo Bag) anymore but this is the new one.

It is pricey but is very strong and weather proof.

Hi,

I have been trying to purchase the MFT back box from the UK with no success, the only outlet I found was amazon which is out stock. I also contacted MFT in Germany who informed me they won’t ship to the UK.
Does anyone have advise or know how I can get my hands on one these? Heading to France in 5 weeks need it for additional storage

Thanks

 

[AlanC]

I got ours direct from MFT, but that was back in 2015.

There are various companies that stock the BackBox who may well ship to the UK. That may be worth looking for.

Have a look here:

I am interested in a storage box like yours. How did you fix it to the bike rack and what do you carry in it?

Thanks
