[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 1043427, member: 176256"] Although I have ratchet straps available to use I would still use ropes to tie the dish to the roof rails - as I did all those years ago. I feel that I can get more control over the tension on the ropes. I was surprised by how little the dish affected the driving dynamics to be honest. Providing it doesn't flap it's quite neutral to the handling. Having said that I would take it easier with a 2.3m compared to the 1.8m! I had to look up what the Vito is like and it looks like quite a tall vehicle so it could be a struggle to get it up on top and tied down securely. A few stepladders would be advisable. It also looks quite wide which would be an advantage though. [/QUOTE]
