I plan to drive a longer tour in spring.
Presently I'm searching for proper style of luggage to pack the luggage rack.

Any proposals from experienced TW travelers?

We use 70 l watertight canoe sacks. One his and one hers + one 50 l for "extras".
Orange color so that your fellow truckers see you.

Has worked perfectly on several 2 week trips.

I think those luggage racks are very well designed and can take a huge amount of stuff. We got everything we needed for the trip to Classic Le Mans this year onto the rack and into the car - barring one big fold-up chair. I used a proper dry-bag inside the green holdall to keep everything dry, which was handy as the weather was atrocious for much of the trip.

Those racks are just so versatile.

Stig,

Great idea I use a 90 litre canoeing dry-bag which is totally waterproof (and will even withstand brief immersion) so you don't need any liners.

I got it from Overboard , but there are others available.

http://www.over-board.co.uk/duffels/waterproof-duffel-bags.html

It takes more than enough on our +8's luggage rack , to supplement the Hills Alive cases inside the car.

Put it all on girlfriend's lap. Or buy her a train ticket. Apparently she prefers being able read anyway.

@The Seeker:
while the other suggestions were helpful and practical your proposal is closer to my original ideas...
Any practical experience with the old stuff?
Pics with a loeded M3W are welcome

An old leather box type suitcase might look a bit twee on the luggage rack of a three wheeler and the leather is quite heavy

How about a Large Duluth Pack - something the size of the Monarch

It is made out of heavy duty canvas and has the nice leather and brass fastenings and copper rivets plus it has shoulder and carrying straps when taking the luggage inside or with you

I use Duluth packs for my canoeing and I put everything in a large dry bag inside

You can order them from Duluth Pack in a large range of colours to match up with your colour scheme although I have the ubiquitous dark forest green packs

You could get some nice leather straps or belts to strap the bag on or you could make some eyelets in the canvas on the underside and use bungies

I have used the Duluth packs on the back of my Morgan 4 wheeler and they look a treat but no photos
