Need an auto topper for luggage to go on rails on a minivan for upcoming trip. Amazon reviews are all over the place. Looking for real world recommendations please.

Thule or Yakima. Both good products.

Topper (easy enough to get on top of SUV):

Camper Shell (not a topper, for pickemup trucks, not SUVs)

No, that's a "Topper". Argument could be made for "Shell", but "Camper" shouldn't be included in reference to that white piece of fiberglass in the pic above.

Buddy has a Suburban and 4 kids so they use all 3 rows of seating. When the trip is longer and there's not enough cargo space, Thule gear goes on the roof.
