I dont have any interior shots but three boxes fit on the right side(horizontal). I have a 42L Arctic cooler that I use running vertically on the right side. I then put my 4th box on top of it. My gear bags are soft-sided and they fill in the spaces.

that picture above of the stacked collapsible boxes really bothers me because I can’t see the 3D element to it.

Boreas squaredrop off road trailer and a GFC superlite RTT on trailer roof rack, Voyager roof rack on car to carry Oru folding kayaks, traction boards (rotor racks) and frontrunner boxes, and up to five bikes on front of Boreas using 1up trays. Trailer has Truma fridge, outdoor shower and enclosure, zero23 awning, stove, furnace, solar, etc. Superlite goes on the Voyager rack if just a short trip. Can roll into camp late at night and be in bed in five minutes. Have backpacked, climbed, canoe’d etc, and still love all that, but trailer and/or RTT just make everything so fast and easy, especially if packing up camp in the rain. Nothing worse than rolling up a wet tent knowing you’ll have to sleep in it again the next night.

What are you using to secure gear to your roof rack? Ratchet or cam straps?

I bolted a rotopax base plate using the included fasteners to carry a pair of rototrax and a spare rotopax, also attached a pair of mole plates to serve as floor for the oru kayaks or frontrunner boxes which are then held on by Frontrunner stratchets. I love the bar construction of the rack because you can basically strap or attach anything to it very easily. If I need to move the rtt to the car, I have side mount attachments for various things.

Anyone have Voyager roof rack/ladder?

If so - how is wind noise/any other effects?

Yes, I have the voyager. Very noisy at highway speeds with just the center fairing. I added the the full three piece fairing and it’s acceptable at 75mph plus. There will always be noise and a mpg hit with any roof rack, but the full fairing makes it tolerable.

Why didn’t you warn us that exactly nothing was going to happen for half-an-hour or however long that video was?
