Hi,
 I am planning a trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands, BC, this summer. I
need some advice on the following
1- I will be carrying big plastic box hopefully filled with useful
items. These boxes sit on one another (2) and FIT PERFECTLY AT THE BACK
ON THE VAN.  I AM AFRAID THOUGH THAT in case of an accident or sudden
stop, these would become fatal flying objects (as anything else that
sits at the back of the van as a matter of fact). Has anybody designed a
device or anything to deal with this threat to the security of our
family and friends ? Could some kind of metal bar be installed ( clip-on
style maybe) and serve as a security device? Anybody ever worried about
it?
2- For those who made it to the Islands, any tips , things not to be
missed, good campsites on the islands or on the way to the Islands
coming from Vancouver. Anything goes on...you name it.
3- Storage bag that fit on the top luggage compartment ? Do they exist?
4- Would consider exchanging my 4-roller sail board/boat roller. It is a
nice Paulchen accessory but I don't carry boat on my van and has never
used it myself. Looks like the first owner didn't use it too much
either. Perfect condition and looks cool on the van. I am looking for a
third and/or a fourth bike extension kit for my Paulchen rack or
anything useful for my camper van.
