Firstly I'd like to say hello to everyone on the forum. I've been reading the posts for some time but only recently registered on the site.
My Doblo is a 1.9JTD Family model - bought second-hand last October with about 12,000 miles on the clock. So far the car has been a revelation - excellent to drive, plenty of space for 7 and good fuel economy. It's only been used for shortish motorway trips (100 miles) up to now, however next week we are driving up to scotland so it should be a good test of the comfort levels for 2 adults and 5 children!
One problem with the Doblo and I think all small MPVs is the lack of boot space so we've decided to get some sort of roof rack and box combination so that the kids don't have to put all their bags on the floor of the car. I've searched the forum for the best roof racks and/or rails to buy and cannot see any definite recommendations. I guess the best solution would be rails that fit into the roof fittings and run lengthwise down the car.. but these seem impossible to get hold of.
I've seen some aluminium bars in a fiat accessories catalogue but for some reason these come as a set of 3, which seems one to many to me. (Boxes only seem to need 2 bars)
There must be other Family owners out there who've faced a similar problem ?
