Before the Trasharoo was made, everyone just carried their garbage in a burlap sack on the spare. Sometimes they ripped or fell off.
That's how the whole thing evolved.
Dave probably saw an opportunity there to make a better product. That's something only someone out there on the trail would think about.
Before the trasharoo, I would stuff a big garbage bag in the spare with a strap or net. A lot of people did.
Dave had a great idea that took off immediately.
I haven't been keeping up but it's surprising to see so many competitors pop up. I don't know how, since his is patented.
Maybe his is the only "trash hauling" bag and the others are "storage"? Dunno.
All I know is Dave is Socal local 4x4 overlanding guy. He supports BRC, and other trail advocacy groups.
Makes me proud to have it hanging off the rig, and glad a guy from our community turned his passion into a business.
I know he will back up anything he sells.
I have a few products on my rig like that, that i'm super proud to own... it's not a mountain i'm dying on, but sure is nice when you can do it.
That's my soapbox for trasharoo. Who knew I would filibuster for a dusty old trashbag holder?
