Bavarian???

To buy, to borrow or what...?

Try the dealers is all I can suggest.
Anyone (like me) who has one is likely to keep it...!

Methinks Chunky is looking for an unused one

mehopes he wants to replace that very petite top box on the macho Adventure in his avatar

No stock at any of the dealers. I want to buy it. Looking for an unused one if possible. Want is for the back seat and not to replace the nice and practical el-cheapo top box

If you happen to find two, let me know - I need one as well...

Bavarian just got stock 7 Luggage rolls only. I bought one and reserved 2 for Dave S. I suggest you hurry. Price increased now R1502-00 and as club member you get7.5% off coming to R1389-35

I just checked my tent (Wedge Dome II) fits nicely with all my camp gear (Chair, sleeping bag, matras and pillow) and still got space for my close.

Whoa, Chunky...!

Not wishing to deny you the pleasure of bunging everything into one big bag, may I suggest that you first read Helen 2 Wheels' tips on how to pack your stuff...? (see http://www.helen2wheels.com/ )

Translated from the original American language:

RULES FOR MOTORCYCLE PACKING:

FIRST RULE:
A tightly packed bag is a happy bag!
Pack tight and attach tightly to the bike.

SECOND RULE:
Keep the wet stuff away from the dry stuff!
DRY stuff: sleeping bag, mattress, clothes, etc.
WET stuff: tent, groundsheet, chairs, tables...

THIRD RULE:
Keep the long hard stuff away from the soft squishy stuff!
The DRY stuff is also SOFT stuff… and is compressible…
The WET stuff is often LONG HARD stuff… and will rub holes in the ends of your bag if compressed. .

May I suggest that your tent, chairs etc should be kept apart from you sleeping bag, pillow and mattress...


PS: What works REALLY well for tents is to have a drawstring bag made from ordinary shadecloth.
I also use a groundsheet made from a square of green 40% shadecloth
It lets a wet tent air dry as you ride...and if it was dry to begin with, it doesn't really matter if it gets a little wet in a rain shower you ride through.
I have a B-I-G sleeping bag (1m wide) that is very fluffy and soft. My Silver bag takes my air mattress, buckwheat-husk pillow, sleeping bag and a small fleecy blanket, with my inflator and fluorescent light tucked in the soft folds. The sleeping bag expands to occupy all available space. My chair, table and tent go on to the bike first and get tied down well. Then I put the big silver bag on top and tie it down as well. I put the rolled up groundsheet on the very top (because I roll it up last, that's why!) and tie it to the previous luggage.



(I didn't have the chair and table here, so the groundsheet went underneath instead...)

He advises how to do it in a sensible way and then posts a pic of it done differently.

ai, ai,ai...

ps - thanks for the reminder of Helen's site. Had 'lost' the link when my comuter went walkabout in January.

...that's just because I hadn't camped yet on that trip....

Helen2wheels' packing works really well - no wet sleeping bag from lying in a bag with the tent.

If you are organised, when you wake up, get out of the sleeping bag and pull the plug to deflate the mattress while you go for the morning ablution...
Back at the tent, your fully deflated mattress can be folded up and put into the Big Silver Bag.
Put sleeping bag half-in on top, with pillow, light and inflator cuddled inside.
Continue stuffing until fully bagged and z-i-p-p-i-t-u-p.
Half the tent is clear...even if it is raining outside!
