Hi everyone. I'm the proud new owner of a 2014 JSW MKVI. It's post fixed that I picked up last week. Black on black, 6MT, with pano and a Curt trailer hitch. I'm coming from my 2004 Subaru hatch I've owned since 2007 so this quite the upgrade for me.
Im going to be taking the car on a trip for Thanksgiving from MA to SC for Thanksgiving and could use some extra cargo room. I've done a lot of reading and research including reading about 100 pages of the thread dedicated to towing.
I don't think the s53 whisper bars will work because I want to operate the pano. If I go the rocket box route of likely take the cross rails and box of e when not in use. What my best/most affordable route here? I searched Craigslist and found some used boxes but no rails. It looks like the classified here don't have any available either.
I'd rather go the trailer route, I figured I could get a basic 5x7 ish open trailer and put stuff in some type of storage bags to keep stuff dry. I have the hitch but don't have a ball and not sure if brake/light wires are already run. How can I check?
Thoughts/advice?
TIA
