Has anyone carried a Mattress on these? Thinking about driving across country with a Queen size mattress.

Don't know but I wouldn't do it. Too much surface area to catch wind and suck the racks right off your roof. Great for a kayak though.

I have my rack on a honda fit, That being said, it had carried significant weight on the highway. without a problem, and is still rock solid. As far a queen size mattress is concerned, you might want to investigate a basket to attach to the rack , to provide add'l support. Good luck

The drop in gas mileage would be significant carrying a queen sized mattress, and it would make driving in any kind of wind a pita. Sell the mattress where you are and pick up another where you're going.

So I had an old Serta mattress. I had a 3" Lucid already on that. This new one I just piled on top. I have no back pain and sleep through the night. I have to believe it will definitely isolate as it's very solid and supportive. Funny thing is that it feels too firm, but, it's not. I'm 6'4" and 205 lbs and really sleep better now.

They are great travel tires, but have a slight resistance to rolling. The best use would be for someone that rides pavement in rain frequently, since they have freakish grip in the rain. Try out Vittoria's Randonneur Pro or the newer replacement tire, they are much faster rolling and I found them to have better grip on gravel and dirt. Very plush ride, and they cost about half as much :o

Yes, I believe so. Although I don't tour myself, I rode to Walmart(approx. 5 miles) and purchased about 90 lbs. in cat supplies and came back easily. I recomend also getting cargo net which I also found and bought on Amazon. One more thing to mention is,That these are quick disconect wheels so if you are gonna be away from your trailer & bike for a period of time it would be wise to purchase a thik guage coated cable to run through your wheels & traler frame to lock up. Also ,I obtaned these through Amazon (Trimax 8-12 ft. long). Enjoy the tour. Hope this was helpful.

We have been very happy with these for travel. I have been to Alaska and I believe these would work well. There are probably better ones out there for $1500, but we thought these were really good.

If you are going to use the pack n play as a travel "crib" then I wouldn't buy another mattress. The quilted sheet does pad it quite a bit. I use the "mattress" that came with it with the sheet and it's fine for naps and travel.

We've only carried things like ladders 15-20 miles but I assume the crossbars would easily support a 200 pound load for a longer trip. As the previous poster mentioned, your mpg would definitely suffer.

If you're getting the mattress specifically for your new place just keep it in the box it comes in. It comes vacuum packed nicely in a box I fit into the back seat of a Ford Mustang. Not big at all, slightly heavy, will probably take two people to carry

Yes. I had company last week (two doctors), and they said they were very comfortable. I think if there is a huge weight difference it may not be as comfortable, but I haven't tried it with more then a 50 pound weight difference yet. Love the mattress. Hope this helps.

The bed is quite comfortable, and if you're used to sleeping in sleeping bags for long periods of time, I can imagine this wouldn't be a problem at all. The only problem we have had with ours is keeping it inflated. We found a leak in one of the seams after taking it in and out of the car a few times.

No, but its definitely worth taking with you! My wife has slept so well and has no complaints with it

I haven't had much luck sleeping with them - except while on my back. For me, they stick out a little too far for comfort while trying to sleep on my side. Good luck!

I haven't and I carry 4, 5 gallon tanks of gas on mine all the time. Also however I modified mine cause it stuck way out more then I wanted it to by about 4". I also like the fact I can switch it up from my ATV to SUV with the rubber adapter. However I'm not going across country something to think about if you want a solid shaft into you hitch or trust the adapter.

We have been but I just decided to get some of the "t shirt knit" queen size sheets. The top part of the mattress is very deep and I just thought the stretchiness of this style would "stay put" a little better & the little roomier size would just beneficial. The previous answerer is correct in the deep pockets work too, and the idea of tucking in the top sheet is great. By the way - Love this air mattress! We use it every time we travel to see our grandchildren!!!

These are designed for a max load of 7,500 pounds per pair of jacks. So if your RV or trailer is under 15,000 pounds total weight and/or under 7,500 pounds on the axle you plan to install them they should be fine. I put them on my 26' travel trailer which ways 8,000 pounds with full water tanks. I don't know about yours but my experience a motor home weighs much more than a travel because they have an engine and transmission and a much heavier frame. I wouldn't be surprised if it weighs closer to 15,000 pounds dry.

Hi! I am sorry. I have never taken this carseat with us while traveling. Although, i can tell you that this seat is on the heavier side.

I have a Queen size on mine only because I already had the Mattress. The Queen size is one foot to wide but it still works. Just hangs over the back edge. If you don't have a mattress don't buy a queen size ,get the full size.
