I do agree, with ya on the heavy things up top. Not fun to load and unload.It would seem that unless you put individual large items up there, it would all need to be in a big box anyways...
Of course, roof boxes dont look as cool.
In any case, I am absolutely not a fan of roof racks. Hauling coolers and water and stuff up there is about the worst thing in the whole world.
Security is a concern. So all the valuable things are stored in the bed, which locks, and with the basket atop, really can't remove items as it's all screwed down.
But if somewone wants my dirty clothes and pooper, well, I uh don't know what to say. LOL

Nice fozzy!I started the thread as I am considering between the two for my forester, I made a small diy one shown below.
But still need something larger. Thanks for all the feedback guys. I do t think there is a wrong answer, just a matter of preference.

I have seen these small trailers. DoNice fozzy!
They make extended length cargo baskets (64" or so) and wider along with bags that fit the full size, or use the bins you have on a larger rack for more space.
Additionally a hitch basket could work, but I would say to look for have duty rear springs, or a bigger rear spacer to help with sag. I had some Mann engineering springs on my Crosstrek, helped with the sag.
And one more additionally... take a look at 4'x4' harbor freight trailers. They are cheap, and if you search the internet's, lots of folks have built them up for overlanding with bigger tires and some neat storage options. Might be a neat option for you to store all your camp gear at the ready, and fill the foz with more of your everyday items or fragile items in safety.
Pic as an example...
