Trasharoo will loose me when Campcover is in the US.

[MOAK]

Hi All,
We have had our trasharoo for a few years now and it has served us well, except for the uncontrollable sagging. There is no way to cinch it up tight enough to prevent sagging. I've watched tutorial vids and I've worked with it way too much to no avail. It became an exercise in frustration. Finally I got it to stay up using a ratchet strap. You can see the blue strap in the photo. The add photo makes it all look so perfect and easy. Personally, I can't wait for "CampCover" products to be available here in the US. The trasharoo will go on fleabay or CL and I'll be first in line to order one of their trash packs.

Thats cool. But pretty much limits it's use to just a tire. For us without tires hanging off the back, the trasharoo wins out since I can attach it to my tailgate. :)

I'm not sure what you mean by sagging. Can you elaborate?

 

[MOAK]

Sure, It is nearly impossible to get the straps tight enough. Beacuse of that, when the trasharoo gets loaded up gravity begins to work and it slides down, way down. So far down that it oftentimes is dragging on the trailer hitch. The only way to hold it up high on the spare tire is to strap it up with the blue ratchet strap, as in the first photo. Here is a photo from a few years ago after three nights at camp. It will continue to "roll down" the tire until it bottoms out.

Why not just have an upholsterer add a semi circle "boot" up top to fit over your spare tire? To me, that looks to be what would hold the camp cover unit in place when loaded.

Mine slides down too, when there is any decent amount of weight in it (usually not when it's trash). And yes, when properly mounted with the anti-sag strap. I used a couple spare cinch style belts, you know the canvas kind that come with inexpensive cargo shorts? I never use the belts (nor does my son) but save them as rthey have come in handy before. I found that if I wrap them around the straps (on back of the tire), one above the tire mounting pint, one below, that will usually hold it.

As mentioned, I've only had the sagging problem a couple of times, and it was when I was carrying a lot of weight in it (like a 10lb propane tank or firewood).

BTW, I've seen that Campcover on Andrew St. Pierre White's videos, and it's certainly interesting. Though it doesn't look like it has even half the capacity of the Trasharoo. Maybe it's just an optical illusion though.

I really like some of the other organizers they make that he has in his rig.

St.Pierre White is the bomb!

Every bag comes with a 'anti-sag strap' for the last 2 years. Your bag looks older than that before we started adding it. This prevents the bag from sagging.

I LOVE my Trasharoo and the company! I had a buckle break on the Roo and they sent me a replacement free of charge in a matter of days. I have used my Trasharoo for many trips and now, it's just a staple on my vehicle. I keep it attached all the time so I can throw trash/gear in the back whenever. I want. Also, in the webbing pouches on the Trasharoo, I keep hand sanitizer and bugspray all the time for use. I figure if someone really needs hand sanitizer or bugs spray they can use mine anyhoo....

The anti-sag velcro strap that came with mine works great to keep it from sagging downward. I've had firewood, trash, gear, and recovery gear in it well over 50lbs and no sag.

 

[Trasharoo]

Thanks for the kind words Mike! We appreciate it sir.

@MOAK, are you using the @Trasharoo straps over the tire like a traditional backpack (parallel to each other)? If so, you should try to cross them like an X behind the tire. That way they are pulling towards the middle of the bag, not getting forced out to the sides of the bag as the weight increases. The anti-sag strap is a great addition and is pretty easy to adjust. You're lucky to have a swing away tire carrier so access to the latches is very easy. I have limited space to work with since the tire is still mounted to the door of the D2.

 

[Trasharoo]

Disco2guy is correct. You X-strap the webbing. Here's the directions........

The Campcover looks small to me too. I trailer and have had a Trasharoo for several years now without the sag strap and don't have any issues. You have to mount it correctly and good and tight to begin with though, and also have to cinch up the exterior straps when it starts getting full to help keep the load under control.

I have the sag strap but it doesn't always help. To be clear, the whole thing slides down vertically, it's not the straps sliding off the sides. The sag strap stays in place, the straps from the bag slip through that.

I thnk there are two things contributing to it on mine.. First is that my spare (35x12.50) is on the tailgate rather than a bumper, so it makes it challenging to really get everything very tight. Secondly, I keep a cover on my spare tire, so the straps aren't getting the full benefit of contact with the rubber tire.

I will add that I had a buckle break last year and you guys shipped me out a replacement at no cost, even though I was willing to pay. That did make me satisfied.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. Mine is installed exactly as instructed. How much weight have you had in yours? Mine only has the issue when it's relatively heavy (like not just garbage in it). Probably 10-20lbs plus, with hours of bouncing around offroad.

I don't hate the product by any means, just wish there was a better solution than just that strap, as clearly it doesn't always work..

 

[MOAK]

Yes, the straps are crossed .. and trasharoo, I’ll be hitting you up for the cinch strap. Thanks for the reply and the link.. yikes , you guys really loadem down with all kinds of stuff, for us it is a dedicated trash carrier.. garbage inside and recyclables in the netting.. 4xOverland with AStPW kicks it..

I don't have the sag strap, so can't comment there. Not sure about the weight, but I've had 3 days of trash for 6-8 people in it which by day 3 it was stuffed! I've occasionally used it to carry firewood or extra chairs without issue, but I try not to overload my spare tire carrier in general. That said 95% of my use of the Trasharoo is for its intended purpose, to haul out the garbage. I watched Andrew's video and the Camp Cover trash thing is a nice design but for sure smaller, don't think it would work for my purposes.

ah yes.. see previouos post, and thanks
