Rear Wheel Canvas Rubbish Bag

G'day Lyndon

Those rear wheel carrier rubbish bags are a clever idea in principal, not sure if they are value for money.

There are plenty of travelers who cart their garbage around in those canvas bags and my guess is they feel good about it, an admirable thing to do, but they can get very stinky especially on a warm/hot day.

If you are possibly only carrying 'empty cans' ~ why not make your own out of 70 to 90% shade cloth, you can make it as small or large as you like, plus the 'dregs' won't pool in the bottom of the rubbish bag because the shade cloth is technically an open weave product, no dregs = no smell and no flies, plus you not advertising an expensive product, that's for garbage.

I use a Kings (4WD supacentre) wheel mounted rubbish bag. Only $30 delivered, it has been great over the last couple years. I just put a black rubbish bag in it to keep it clean as we use it for all rubbish, not just cans. So far the straps, clips and zip have been good, no rips in the bag either.

Another vote for Kings ,
I use the black plastic bin liners for all rubbish

Check the sizes of each bag, used to have a MSA bag that lasted for years but it was on the small side of bags you can get, come time to replace it I went a bag bigger in size then what I had previously. Can’t remember the name of the bag I now have, but being bigger in size is a much better option IMO....easier to put bags full of rubbish inside it.

Hi Lyndon,

I have used a couple of brands. Not entirely happy with either. Both had problems with straps onto the spare wheel..... difficult to apply and not entirely secure against rotating on the wheel. I'm sure that I could devise a better arrangement, in fact I did modify my second one with improvement.
First one detached at the top and inverted, dragging itself down the Birdsville track, which at least dispensed with the need to empty it. lol

Also found that the zippers suffered from dust. Velcro may be better but no experience on that.

I have an exploroz rubbish bag on the spare wheel. It is well thought out and has a top cover/partitioned to carry plastic bag supply, mesh bottom to let any liquid out....they are a great invention, but can get very dusty on there, and the said dust transfers on to the user easily.

G'day, I have one of these, easy to get on and off if required.

From some of the responses above it would seem that there are several models of bags that attach by means of a 'hood' slipped over the tyre. This is just what I considered would be a good scheme, but I saw none several years ago when I purchased. Consequently I have a bag with more complicated straps than an opera-singers girdle! One of these days.........!!

I also felt that bag closure with velcro would be preferable than zips.
But looking at some links above it would appear that some of them close merely with a loose hood held closed with straps and buckles. Seems to me that would not seal well enough to keep flies out and you could get maggots thriving within the bag. I think velcro or zipper would be preferable.
In fact, I covered the eyelet drain hole in the bottom of mine with plastic fly mesh to exclude flies whilst permitting drainage.

Has anyone here copped maggots in their bag?

I've the Ridge Ryder brand from Super Cheap. I think it was ~$40 on sale. It uses straps etc., and is a bit tedious to fit, but interestingly it specifies that it should be taken off when travelling, which sort of negates the purpose of keeping the stinky stuff out of the cab. I have just used mine to keep the possums and rats out of the rubbish bag and mostly have veg food scraps and packaging rather than meat, so it's not too stinky. I use a double bag liner and put it in the rear of the vehicle. I have to attach mine to the camper trailer spare, as the Gen 4 Pajeros have a hard cover over the spare. We will be travelling remotely in a few weeks at lower speeds so might give it a go leaving it attached?

Looked at these a couple of years ago, but couldn't justify the cost but they do look good.

Hi Folks

Thanks for all your replies. I'm normally a big supporter of Aussie products but have this time gone for Chinese junk.

Ordered a Kings Bag delivered for $30

Main reasons is we don't travel that often and have never had a rear wheel rubbish bag. I'll give this one a go, it will at least give us an idea if this is for us. We can then spend some coin and get a better one in the future.

Thanks again

Lyndon
