Back when I was young and could see our family used to go all over the

cars and trucks. I think one of the most impressive on a family car was a
roof box that seemed to just explode at speed and all the contents flew up
in the air and went all over the M1 near Watford I think it was. Luckily
most people managed to avoided the tent and assorted bits of debris. I can
only assume it was not made very well and air got inside and blew it to bits
from within.
The really scary ones are big trucks with loads tat are obviously shifting
due to poor securing. Whole palette loads of cardboard boxes for example
just ending up on the road. Luckily for us on the opposite side of the
road.

Oh and please do not mention caravans.

My (very sensible) BIL gave up motorcycling after hitting a suitcase
that came off a roor rack while riding his Triton in the outside lane of
the M1.
