    Looking to hit the road again for work, and will be traveling all over the country, hitting a new city every 4-13 weeks with company-provided housing. Will be picking up a rooftop cargo box, either Yakima or Thule. Had a Thule in the past for another vehicle with no complaints. I'll have my mountain bike on a hitch mount rack, all my other stuff (clothes, housewares, linens, etc.) in the back of the truck/shell and will use the rooftop box for my camping gear since I plan on camping between assignments and going on road trips. Wondering what you guys are using on top of your camper shells with your Tacoma and what your experience has been? Thanks!

    I have been using a Thule 21 cubic feet box. We have used it on top of a few vehicles. Bought it on sale at Sport chalet for $499. I believe retail is $700 +. My favorite part is it opens from both sides of the vehicle. Some MPG penalty. Looks great. Good quality. Little cumbersome to load by one person. Other than that no issues.
