Apr 25, 2007 0 Replies

My goal is to be able to carry things I must have as I moved from one place to another for contract work (minimum 6 mos which might get extended or not) by myself in a trailer and a rooftop rack. I need help in accesorising my 2005 legacy wagon to carry the followings:


- office stuff (two my desktops, 2 printers (I will put my computer stuff inside my car)



- a printer stand, my desk lamp, 2 shelves bookcase, a hallway table like this at

all my kitchen stuff: microwave, toaster oven, juicers, 2 ricecookers+ pots+ the usual rest- a small round dining table (with foldable leaves) + 2 matchingchairs



- full size mattress and boxspring (for this I thought about a rooftop rack but I am not sure what weight my full size bed weigh) + the frame for my bed



- lamps for living rooms and bedrooms



- if I canfit in the space and weight is not overloaded for my car, a nice futon couch + a coffee table and 2 end tables (all are light)



- misc items such as air purifiers (2 of them), canister vaccum cleaner, dvd player, VCR player, 3 drawers plastic storage thing, materials to make compartment shevles in closet, plastic shoes holders, etc.



Basically I am going to put all my bedroom furniture (queen size bed, dresser, chest draw, 2 nigth stands) and my big bookcase, bunch of books in a climate controlled storage unless I stay at a place for more than 6 mons. I would need a U-Haul for those otherwise. But I would like to carry my other things with me



I read about the rooftop rack at
