THE OZ-TENT TRANSPORT BOX FROM ALUBOX

Great idea. I always thought a drawback of the Oztent was its size and having to carry it on the roof exposed to the elements.

I wonder if @EquiptExpOutfitters is going to get these?

The Oz-Tent Transport Box from Alubox

Alubox continues to innovate when it comes to designing and building some of the best adventure and touring boxes on the market and a recent addition to

Interesting. Couldn't seem to find the price but I guess, based on their other items, that it is astronomical. The OZ tent bag that comes with it originally is too small so I ordered a bag from Drifta out of Australia that allows for the tent and a few of the aux pieces in one place for about 180.00 Australian. Good bag, made better, less cost than alum. box.

Meh. There are many cargo roof boxes on the market that will serve the same purpose, for likely 1/3rd of the price.

They didn't think this one through. Lifting a bulky, 55lb Oz Tent on the roof rack is hard enough, but having to also lift it over the wall of the AluBox container? No thanks. They should have made that wall part of the lid, such that the wall lifts up along with the lid, and the tent could be simply rolled in.

100% agree. A proper cargo box is so much more functional. Not to mention that it’s much more aerodynamic than a box. We stuff a tent, 4 bags and sleeping pads and chairs in ours.

A Thule box will swallow a RV5, front and side panels, poles, lines, bags, several large canvas ground tarps and two folding chairs With room to spare. Easy to load from the side and never had a problem with its ruggedness.

But it doesn't look as cool as an expedition style aluminum box will.....just sayin'?

I'm sure the Alubox version will be great but I agree if the sides opened it would be much better. And I get the buy once cry once approach. But this seems like overkill for a box to hold a tent. At least IMO.

It even looks cooler with a plastic folding table with it!

Paul,

Your Land Cruiser would make any rocket box look cool.
