Default Help with luggage

Hello! I'm brand new and hoping for some guidance. My husband is the proud new owner of a 2020 C8, but unfortunately the trunk space is quite limited. Since this is his only car, we need to find a roller suitcase that will fit in the trunk. The official luggage is a handled bag that won't do for check-in luggage. I've spent hours searching so far and I just can't figure out what will definitely fit in the small trunk but still work for a long trip.

Can anyone share if they've found roller wheel luggage that fits in the C8? I found one potential option but they say they no longer have a partnership with Corvette and they can't confirm it'll fit: https://www.clubglove.com/luggage/ch...G24TRSBCH.html

I would be so grateful for options that people have found to work. Thank you.

Any roller that will fit in an overhead bin, two will fit end to end in the trunk. You probably own these bags today. Duffels are a great option as they have push and shove flexibility. Just can't put your Stella McCartney dress in one.



Is your car a coupe? Not a convertible. I'd rather have a custom engine cover from Race Ready Panels. Their visual is stunning through the rear glass.

I'd only get a rolling Duffel. The C8 truck space is a bit odd. Soft sides can bend to fit. There are several.

Samsonite's alum shell carryon fits in the frunk. Another roll-on fits in the trunk with soft sided bag alongside.

The C7 roller bags fit very nicely. You can get the 5 piece set fairly reasonable.

Club glove luggage is top quality and expensive. Watch this video. Then you can see which pieces fit and how they fit. You can buy Club Glove or your can go on website and find the dimensions for the pieces they packed, and find equivalent size in other brand. I did not know that discontinued the logo luggage for C8, but I think they make all the same pieces without the logo. Doesn't matter.

Soft side carry on expandable roller like this one: Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Expandable Carry on bag. Can pick them up on Amazon for around $130. Designed and built well and will take a beating. Two will fit in the trunk.

All you need to look for is an regulation airline carry on roller, as long as it states it meets airline regulations, it will fit in the front trunk.

For the rear trunk, as mentioned, its best to get soft sided rollers so they can somewhat conform to the space.

You can fit two roller airline, carry-on approved, bags in the rear compartment and one in the frunk.

Sounds like you have a number of options when it comes to luggage. Good luck making your choice.

Thank you! I emailed them and they say their rolling duffle will fit. I'm feeling a little bit like Goldilocks because I just want a regular suitcase that I can check in for a long trip. Plus the dimensions of their bag appear bigger than what will fit, but I guess it'll squish since it's soft.

It's a coupe. Right now we have the clear top on, but my husband will be driving and I'll be in the passenger seat.

Thanks for the suggestion! I just wish I could have a real check in bag and have my husband take me to the airport. Apparently I can only have one of those things.

We use soft side duffle bags with wheels for 2+ week ship cruises. They slip under the bed when collapsed.
Fit in 2020 C8 Truck like these golf bags.

Our bags are similar to this one.

The Club Glove luggage is okay but way too overpriced. Also do not buy the Clubglove cooler. Besides being 4 times more expensive than other coolers the zipper is impossible to open. They give you a tube of grease to grease up the zipper to aid in opening it but it still is next to impossible to open. Sam
