We used it for a rainy drive from Philadelphia to the Outer Banks, NC. It held a 17”x24” cooler, a large tote, a small tote, one 24” suitcase, two boogie boards and numerous yard games, along with some loose things, like sneakers, hydro flasks, and a bunch of packages of glow sticks. It was nice to not have to worry about anything falling out, and also being able to throw the couple of loose things we forgot to put in a tote without worrying. And also, not having to worry about the weather, and our things getting wet! I highly recommend it!
