It would eliminate using your back doors, but could provide alot more storage and as long as you wrap your luggage in a tarp or big bag, it will be out of the wind and rain.

I mounted one of those to my $ runner and drove up a long steep grade at about 25-35 mph. I had those home depot buckets full with camping stuff and some wood. By the time I got to the camp, the bottom of the bucket near the mufflers has been melted right onto the rack. Since then, I have not been a big fan. Now, I still like to build my own to make it better.
