Back yesterday from a four day 700 mile trip to France & Belgium, most of which I spent in the Nomad, more of that maybe on another topic as I prepare for a proper expedition.
The roof rack design is such that it incorporates a new spare wheel holder and under that creates a parcel shelf that I originally wrote off but proved to be very useful.
We couldn’t have done the trip without the roof rack, it held a couple of bags very ably once strapped down and on private roads was still capable of >100 mph.
I prefer the side gap for ingress/egress so it didn’t affect access to the car and when the weather was very sunny provided a good amount of shade.
I’ve never driven the car without it so can’t make that comparison, BUT, it enabled us to travel for multiple nights and that is exactly what we needed.
