Default Luggage

We are heading out this morning for a trip and I purchased some luggage from Club Glove.
Mini Rolling Duffle III - Next Generation Corvette
Rolling Duffle III - Next Generation Corvette

The Rolling Duffle III is a bit tight but it fits if not filled to the limit. After one trip under our belt I think the ideal would be 2 Mini Rolling Duffle III bags along with smaller bags to stuff here and there.

We have a Polar Bear 12 pack original soft cooler for the frunk and there is room for other things after putting it in.

I have the C7 Corvette luggage set and all pieces fit in the C8. I got the whole set for $400.

This question was just asked of me, so it's funny this new thread should be here right now!

I sold my Stingray and don't have the ERay yet, so I can't measure it myself. Does anyone know the front-to-back measurement of a Convertible's trunk on each side of the latch mechanism? Planning a trip, and I need to know if a carry-on I have will fit inside.

I bought the 40 and 70 litre C7 soft luggage years ago. It is Thule and well designed and I used GM points. While I have Rimowa and Zero Halliburton rollers, these are perfect for the C8 trunk.

Hmm, perhaps a C8 Z06 Vert can answer. From what has been said:
"The difference between a Very and Coupe Truck is small. There is a notable shape difference and the reason is the convertible top. With the Corvette Coupe, you have a removable roof panel that can be stored in the trunk. This necessitates the trunk to be a little larger."

I'm expecting my E-Ray Coupe will just be ~4 inches wider as is the rear body.
Here is a pic of Coupe with dimensions:

20" Dockers spinners from Ross $49.99 each. Was also able to also put two folding chairs and two jackets in the trunk. The third spinner went in the frunk.

Don’t waste your money on the expensive Club Glove cooler. The zipper is extremely hard to open or close and quite frankly the cooler doesn’t work well either. Ice melts quickly in this cooler so whatever they used as insulation doesn’t work very well. The 2 mini rolling duffels are great though. They fit very well in the trunk. Sam

This is what I am going to try, We have the rolling soft duffle its a pin in the behind to pack and you have to squish it in to fit, and I hate shairing a suit case with my wife.
