Hi, I am planning a trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands, BC, this summer. I need some advice on the following 1- I will be carrying big plastic box hopefully filled with useful items. These boxes sit on one another (2) and FIT PERFECTLY AT THE BACK ON THE VAN. I AM AFRAID THOUGH THAT in case of an accident or sudden stop, these would become fatal flying objects (as anything else that sits at the back of the van as a matter of fact). Has anybody designed a device or anything to deal with this threat to the security of our family and friends ? Could some kind of metal bar be installed ( clip-on style maybe) and serve as a security device? Anybody ever worried about it? 2- For those who made it to the Islands, any tips , things not to be missed, good campsites on the islands or on the way to the Islands coming from Vancouver. Anything goes on...you name it. 3- Storage bag that fit on the top luggage compartment ? Do they exist? 4- Would consider exchanging my 4-roller sail board/boat roller. It is a nice Paulchen accessory but I don't carry boat on my van and has never used it myself. Looks like the first owner didn't use it too much either. Perfect condition and looks cool on the van. I am looking for a third and/or a fourth bike extension kit for my Paulchen rack or anything useful for my camper van.
