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.

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.

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.

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
