with the box on? it will be like a wind sail as you are driving

Thats not chipboard ! What you have bought is called sterling board. Dont worry, it is 90% waterproof. Word of warning tho, it does get very heavy when wet !!, and the size you have made your box, i would be very cautious in severe weather. Looks good tho.

Make sure you come back to Farnham for the ISA uk and I final tree climbing competition. We want as many climbers as pos, chuck a tarp over the toptent sorted!!

Cheaper than Hammerite, have you considered black Sadolin? It's not paint but coloured oil and paints on easy peasy, soaking into the wood.

Thats a journey of 126 miles. With diesel at £6/gallon, that's 38MPG.

 

You do know you can't measure fuel economy just by looking at the gauge?

my smiley transit will get 35 to the gallon easy empty with the chip box.

That sterling board will last ages mate i have it on mine but framed in steel that unbolt, make sure you paint the edges as thats where most of the water gets in.

B&Q! - amongst others; DIY stores, hardware shops etc. Get a small tin and give it a go on the inside; see what you think.
