Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black
I've taken one 1500 mile trip so far with the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 mounted on my RAV4. I found the box to be quiet and not to have much impact on gas mileage. I lost maybe 1 mpg with it mounted to my flush mounted Whisperbars. I drove through some very heavy rain and had a minimal amount of water inside under a thin rubber mat I had placed on the bottom of the box; none on my luggage got wet. This box works great to give me more carrying capacity when traveling with my two crated Dobermans.
Pretty good. The locking mech is a little funky but it swallows the beach chairs and other sandy stuff no problem. Make sure you watch the videos Yakima has on YouTube. They are very helpful for first timers. I found that if you use the Yakima website to get the part list right you can order wherever you want. Yup can even pull into the garage. My only gripe is that etrailer showed all parts in stock but several pieces were actually back ordered. Luckily everything arrived in time for my trip.

Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box - 21 cu ft - Black Carbonite
The clamp screw is a bit too short. It's pretty light weight
I got this a month before our trip to be sure I was able to get it (assumed supply chain issues) before the vacation season. I didn’t actually travel with this besides a trip around the neighborhood. I’ll update after my 1k mile road trip in July. 1. Delivery - free! Wow. No where else had free. The box was damaged but the Yakima was fine. Also it came with 2 massive crates which told about a day to burn. 2. Install - so the hooks are tight for the VW OEM roof Rack but I got it to work. I do wish the adjustment screws were a bit longer but it goes on tight and won’t be moving. 3. Fit - I was a bit worried about the tailgate hitting when opening but the mounts are fully adjustable so no issues on my end. It isn’t heavy, but awkward. I did put it on myself but two people would be much easier. 4. Storage - I rigged up some anchors and a ratchet system to hang it on the ceiling of the garage. It’s big but it’s light. Just kinda awkward.
