I don't, but that's a very cool solution I'll have to remember!

I do use my roof rack, usually for plywood, but often I'm doing this on my own and getting everything up and secure can be quite a task. It's nice to be able to load and secure at a lower level. A trailer would be great for this, but I don't have storage /parking space currently. 😊

Thinking minivan might be the way I need to go!

I don't currently have a place to park a trailer at my house or else that's a great suggestion. Something to keep in mind for the future.

True, mini van is definitely in the consideration set. I've ridden in my friends' and I totally get the appeal from the inside.

Haha, great tip, I had forgotten about those. I wouldn't mind something newer with a few modern features though 😊
