Designed for individuals with a ton of gear or families who want to pack together, the ORV Trunk 30 wheeled travel bag is versatile and spacious. The ORV Trunk 25 boasts 6,000 cubic inches of storage space, and offers support for Eagle Creek’s Pack-It system–a comprehensive organizing system for arranging your clothes, toiletries, shoes, and other items. In addition, the bag is extremely tough, with strategic material blocking and front bumper protection. As a result, the ORV Trunk 30 can take all the punishment an airline or the back of an SUV can dish out. And once you arrive at your destination, the bag is a breeze to transport, with a retractable Touch Point handle system and a pair of oversized super-tread wheels. Other details include a stowable Bi-Tech Boot Box that separates your dirty shoes from your clean gear, an oversized front-panel opening for easy packing and unpacking, multiple cargo pockets with exterior access, interior customization with collapsible padded dividers, and several handles, including end-to-end, side, and center haul handles.

Customer Reviews

Versatile and tough luggage*****

By Morton G. Swimmer

Our family now owns one of these per person, including one previous generation model that must be five years old by now. They have proven themselves to be versatile, easy to operate, stable even on bad surfaces and very tough. We use them with Eagle Creek’s packing system most of the time to organize the contents better.

There are a few downsides to this sort of luggage to be aware of. Many modes of transportation are set up for ordinary luggage, so it might be hard to get the trunk into the allotted spaces. This has never been a major problem, but I’ve noticed it while on various trains in Switzerland and Germany. Flights have no problem with the size, but here you have to be conscious that the trunk can pack more that you may have weight allowance. This is one of the reasons we now have one per family member: so that we can distribute the weight. Lastly, carrying the trunk is not as convenient as ordinary luggage, however with all the handles and grips it is is easy to lift it for short distances. Luckily, modern airports and stations are built with few stairs.
On the upside, even the oldest trunk we have has not broken once. The wheels still work just as well as new. All the corners show abrasion through airport mistreatment, but nothing has broken or ripped. The latest generation trunk has been built with stronger feeling material even though the previous generation also did the trick.
We also discovered that we can fit two of these trunks side-by-side in our Mini Clubman so we can use the rather limited space in the Clubman optimally.
