THE TRASHAROO
Review by Mike Fissel - As Seen in JPFreek Adventure Magazine -
Winter 2009 www.jpfreek.com
Here Is What THEY Say About It
The TRASHAROO
FEATURES:
Available Colors: Black & Desert Tan
Material: 900 denier nylon canvas
Stap width: 3 double stitched
Tire size fitment: 30-35 (Strap extensions coming soon for larger tires)
Drain hole size: Ό
8 Zipper for extra storage
There isn't a single one of us
who is against the Tread Lightly
philosophy, and many of us pack out our own trash, but how many of
us pick up trash when we see it? Or, how often do we end up with
some nasty burrito or sandwich wrapper in the vehicle and end up
smelling it for the rest of the trip? Trash should be kept outside
where we can't smell it, it can't drip on interior parts, and there
should be more than enough room in a trash bag for what you bring
and what ever you might find and want to pick up. The problem is,
hanging a X-gallon Hefty
bag off the back of your vehicle doesn't
work too well, one
bump and its gone; and the old-style canvas bags
that many of us are fond of flop around back there- damaging paint,
and sometimes dropping more trash than they hold. Enter the Trasharoo
With high-quality wide buckles,
denier nylon, a heavy-duty attachment to your existing external
spare tire, and positive-closing cover, you can haul away all the
trash you accumulate in a weekend and maybe even make the trails a
little cleaner as you go, without having to turn the inside of your
rig into a disposal site. TheTrasharoo, made by CTP Inc, has been in
testing for the last year, and with over 20 years of off-roading and
overlanding experience to the owners name, CTP knows what it takes
to survive the rigors of off-road travel and what the off-roader
needs. The owner was sick and tired of having his trash floating
around in his rigs, and hated that the trash he picked up- which had
been who knows where- would also occasionally be messing up his rig.
So CTP decided to fill that void.
Here Is What WE Say About It
What kind of items make it to the Equipment Review Seciton of Jeep Expeditions website? Obviously items that we find necessary for our trips, items that
make life in the boondocks a little more comfortable and upgrades for our Jeeps to make them better and to give them more utility.
They also have to be a quality product from a manufacturer, distributor or dealer that has a good reputation and good customer service. Reputations are made
good and bad over time and newer products from little known companies deserve a chance. Customer service is obvious from your 1st encounter with the person
at the other end of the phone or email you are talking with.
We have been approached to to reviews on a number of items and some never make it to these pages......and some do.
California Tape Products might be from a little known company but they
have a great made of quality materials by a fellow Jeep enthusiast.
Sometimes the best ideas come from one of our own and this product
is one that every off-roader should consider having.
So where do you store your trash on an off-road
trip? Perhaps the question is how and where do you transport it.
It is nearly time for JeepExpeditions.orgs 4th
anniversary trip and in the dozens of overland trips I have been on
with the group, I have seen it all. Bungeed to the roof, to the
spare tire, behind the spare tire, tied to the antenna mount,
strapped to the top of the trailer mounted roof top tent, stored
inside an off-road trailer and my favorite
in the back seat of your
Jeep!
All good places, or NOT! How many times have
you seen a bag break, tear, leak and deposit all kinds of nasties on
or in your rig? YUCK! Perhaps the bag broke and left a trail of
garbage that everyone had to stop to help pick up?
Friends, meet off-road sanitation salvation,
The Trasharoo! This ingenious product is made of a heavy duty
denier vinyl canvas and can hold up to 50 lbs. A 10 zipper pouch
holds your supply of trash bags to use as liners. With double
stitching, a water resistant inner coating, drain holes in the
bottom just in case and an X strap design that fits over your
30-35 spare tire this new product screams quality and utility.
Not only can you use it for trash but it can double as storage for
dirty clothing, your recovery gear, a pack of firewood and many
others.
The Trasharoo is one of my top SEMA picks for
JPFreek Adventure Magazine and a perfect partner for one of my
others, the Econogreen Trash bags. Together they make a great team
and every overland vehicle should be wearing one of these.
