Usually have a spot inside the vehicle for mm transport.  i am not afraid of mounting it on rear cargo carrier that goes into trailer hitch receiver but id like to put it inside of some sort of box to A) shield it from flying rocks on road, B) shield it from non minimax owners who would like to have a minimax or sell it at a discount to someone else who would love to have a minimax and C) come up with an easy and quick solution where its not a giant process to get it secured


I should probably get that F350 King ranch ive been eying but for now im going to keep my wagon mommas suv

    On big family trips, I like being able to see out the back of the Explorer.  I got one of the hitch mounted racks that I am able to secure just about anything to.  I've got some large Rubbermaid latching boxes that can sit side-by-side that I've been able to lock the box and then secure with straps.  I am 100& sure the MM will fit in one of those; I just need one......  Lump will fit as well as other accessories.  Then the surfboards were attached to the tops of the boxes and we were off.

    The MM seems to ride pretty well. I have made several trips with it, using common sense, and it has never had an issue. We do a ton of camping, and occasionally travel off road to get there. It is a bit more durable than most give it credit for.

    Im going to look for a nice rubbermaid box thatll fit inside trailer receiver cargo rack and one which i can secure to the rack with the comealong orange ratchet action tie down straps.   Should be good 

    Ive always transported mm inside the vehicle-either in the rear cargo area of the station wagon or back are in the ml320 suv, always strapped down with the cargo hooks

    I do have cardboard cutouts to layer in between the cramic components to help absorb vibration.  Never had any problems

    These are similar to what I've used!
