Solution for Needing Additional Cargo Space Beyond Enclosed Cargo Carrier

Question

Question:

We are looking to get a swing-away cargo trailer hitch for our SUV to take on a long road trip. We have long items like beach chairs, and a long beach umbrella, and a 65inch long tent. Do any cargo boxes come with a rack on top for additional strapping of extra long items? note we will have a roof top tent, so we will not have any roof rack space

We have carriers that can slide out for access to the rear cargo door of the vehicle like the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # H00604 but we don't have any that can have cargo added to the top of the carrier. I think that is a really great idea though. Another option you might consider is a small enclosed trailer which will allow you more space for your larger items.
