  1. I was just looking at Totem's new box and I realized that I need a nice secure storage space on my roof. I'm looking for something like one of those hard-sided roof carriers that are aerodynamically shaped. Only thing is, I don't want one of those flimsy REI ones. I need one that's tough and can be locked up tight as a drum, and is weatherproof. Obviously weight is a concern, so a steel fab job is probably out, but if its thick ABS plastic, has something stronger than an access panel lockset on it, and can be bolted to the roof, I'm interested. Obviously the end facing forward would be smaller, to account for the aerodynamics. I'm going to be carrying some toys with me that I really can't replace very easily, and I need to be able to secure them on the roof, and make it look as unobtrusive as possible. I figure a good tough carrier, painted white like the AC cowl, will do the trick, but it has to be secure. Like I said, those flimsy access panel locks like we have on our little storage areas will not cut it. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind replacing those cheap things with stronger locks, so maybe I can store my tools in the bin, instead of under my dinette. I am looking at dimensions in the 60"L x 18"-24"W x 18'-24"D. Fairly long, and a little tall, but I don't think there will be a weight problem. I will probably be carrying no more than 50-60lbs. total, including the enclosure, up there. I'm kinda running out of space, and I don't want to have to use my dormer for storage and my sofa as a bed. If I have to do that I might as well go to a bigger RV.
