VW trikes have the most limited luggage space of most vehicles. A top box and some just strap their overnight bags onto their side ladder bars. I found a cheap solution and I cant see why Beetle owners or sedan/Fastie owners cant use these either.
Firstly you attend a Autobahn store or simialr and purchase these items:
Top left is a step used by 4WD owners that slips over the wheel to allow you to get stuff off the car roof. You buy some 10mm tube for the rack floor.
Buy a bicycle tow ball rack. The type you need is the one that clamps onto the tox ball then as a secondary clamp there is a knob that you turn.
This clamping system is foolproof. I weigh a hefty 125 kgms and it wont budge.
You might have to cut down the height of the clamp rods. I had to so as to get the unit not to hit my top box. Here is the unit clamped onot the tow ball
I made it so it folds up.
Perhaps Beetle owners could make it so luggage can be stowed on each side of the unit forward and aft?
We can take a really large sports bag, enough for a few days, onto the rack.
Total cost $120. You might need a rego plate.
