Roof bars and box advice

Hi all

So just taken the RRS on its first camping trip while I could get everything in with a squeeze I think a roof box would be beneficial. Who has roof bars and box or can anyone recommend which ones to get

Thanks in advance

Thule bars and Halfords box. A bit of noise but not too bad. Box limited to 70mph and bars to 80mph.

It is high up so I use a caravan step when away, I have purchased a step which clips to the door lock with the door open but it needs altered to fit.

Brilliant thank you for that I'll pop to halfords see what they have..

What sort of things can you store in the roof box as they are limited weight aren't they?

About 70kg iirc.

I carry two sun loungers, two wind breaks, extra poles for my canopy, a groundsheet and a couple of bags of water fittings and electrical bits for connecting up the caravan.

All weighed and comes to about 55kg.

Anyone got roofbars with the roofrails fitted? Which make/ type etc?
I have been looking for some for ages, but no one seems to supply them.
