I have the go westy bag in the front luggage area need additional box for chairs, barbecue stuff probably a screened room for my wife who allergic to bee stings  so she can sit out and paint etc leveling blocks etc some thing like the Thule type needs to be wider for the chairs etc

Thanks will check for a motorhome supply place in the Santa Barbara area on our trip there is nothing like that in the Venice each area

Do not want to give up any storage area in the van all is in use  really need to have room for our wine locker etc
