This is the latest on my attempt to =
find secure
rooftop storage. This is looking very good. As for the =
dimensions, I
believe the bottom of the case is smaller than the middle so it will =
probably
fit into the luggage rack very snugly across the back with approximately =
5 inchs
of luggage rack remaining across the front (a good place to stash my =
folding
chairs). The base will be 3.5" deep which is precisely the depth =
of the
luggage rack and the top will protrude only 4" over the luggage =
rack. I
think this would be aerodynamically insignificant.
I intend to have 2 padlock hasps on it =
with D-rings
on both ends and a handle on the front. Do you guys think it =
should have 2
handles? My plan was to bolt it into the roofrack but another =
alternative would be to padlock the ends to the luggage rack tiedowns =
using the
D-rings. That way you wouldn't have to drill holes in anything and =
the
case would be watertight.
If anyone is interested in this as a =
group
purchase, as he says, we can get an additional discount. Please =
pmail
me. When I figure out how many want them, I'll get the final price =
and
post it. I think that we can have them shipped to different =
locations but
I would probably need to get the money and pay for them all at one
time.

Hi Jeanne the out side dimension is =
less than
47" if we do not put any handles on the ends of the case.We can give you =
a group
discount if you order all at one time. Let me know what you would like =
as
options , D-ring to hold down the case ?, Hasp to put a paddle lock ? =
Extra
handle to carry ?

One
more question about dimensions: The outside length is really =
important
here. If the inside is 46", the outside is 47", =
correct? I
think this is going to be a close fit.
I'm
a subscriber to the vanagon.com mail list, which has thousands of =
subscribers, and I believe that there will be quite a few people =
interested in
buying this box to use as lockable storage on top of the VW Westfalia
camper. How would we go about dealing with a group =
purchase? Or is
there any advantage in doing so? The possible purchasers are =
scattered
all over the country - all over the world actually. Would we =
qualify for
a "group" discount if we had these shipped to different =
locations? Would
your company want one of us to deal with the financial aspect or could =
we just
order individually? Would it be a good thing to have a list =
member who
is a retailer (of anything) handle this for us so as to purchase
wholesale?

Yes the price would be the same =
as long the
overall size is no bigger than 7".

One other question, Kirk, from the =
specs on the
website I see that these cases can be up to 7" total in height and =
that I
could specify x for the base and y for the lid. Would the =
price be
the same?
