1. Roof Storage

It is no secret one of the most annoying things about a road trip is all the luggage scattered everywhere. Whether your Lexus' trunk is full, or you don't want to mix food with camping accessories, having a roof may fix all your problems. The storage mounts to the roof using your roof rails and can probably take all of your luggage, so you finally won't have to keep pushing the bags onto the person you are sitting next to.

2. Car Cooler

A car cooler is a fridge for your car. It is designed to connect to you lighter's outlet, and can keep a generous amount of products cool. If you've ever been in a car in the summer for more than 30 minutes, you know that you will be drinking warm soda or water. This product will be your best friend on the road.

3. Privacy Shades

If you are anywhere but the driver's seat, you deserve some deep, peaceful sleep on the long road trip. The privacy shades can vary in looks, shapes, and mountings, from ones with suction cups, to shades you can permanent mount on the side of your window. Regardless of which one you choose, your passengers will thank you for a good sleep.

4. Rear Hitch

You can install a hitch on almost any car, not just trucks and SUVs. Having a rear hitch doesn't mean you need to be towing a boat or a trailer, but a hitch allows you to mount various things on it that will save you a great deal of space. You can mount a bike rack on your hitch, which would take four bikes or more, or you can mount a cargo carrier, which almost doubles your trunk's storage. There is no need to hurt for space when you can easily install a versatile hitch.

5. Mounted Solar Shower

Installing a shower on your Lexus' roof will make your trip close to being at home. The mounted shower mounts to your roof rail, which you can mount next to your roof storage, and it uses the sun to warm up the water. You can then shower, wash your hands, feet, or clean your dog anywhere on the road, without needing to pay for a hotel room to do that.
