Needs helps deciding what accessory to put on my legacy wagon

M

My goal is to be able to carry things I must have as I moved from one
place to another for contract work (minimum 6 mos which might get
extended or not) by myself in a trailer and a rooftop rack. I need
help in accesorising my 2005 legacy wagon to carry the followings:

- office stuff (two my desktops, 2 printers (I will put my computer
stuff inside my car)
- a printer stand, my desk lamp, 2 shelves bookcase, a hallway table
like this at http://www.quandarydesign.com/cody_hallway_table.htm
- a compact computer desk that fits the monitor and keyborad w/ no
space for writing
- a filing cabinet like this at http://www.everythingofficefurniture.com/bst-lateral-file-1.html
- a foldable wood table like this: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/hsh/317096162.html
- all my kitchen stuff: microwave, toaster oven, juicers, 2 rice
cookers+ pots+ the usual rest
- a small round dining table (with foldable leaves) + 2 matching
chairs
- full size mattress and boxspring (for this I thought about a rooftop
rack but I am not sure what weight my full size bed weigh) + the frame
for my bed
- lamps for living rooms and bedrooms
- if I canfit in the space and weight is not overloaded for my car, a
nice futon couch + a coffee table and 2 end tables (all are light)
- misc items such as air purifiers (2 of them), canister vaccum
cleaner, dvd player, VCR player, 3 drawers plastic storage thing,
materls makign shevles in closet, plastic shoes holders, etc.

Basically I am going to put all my bedroom furniture (queen size bed,
dresser, chest draw, 2 nigth stands) and my big bookcase, bunch of
books in a climate controlled storage unless I stay at a place for
more than 6 mons. I would need a U-Haul for those otherwise. But I
would like to carry my other things with me

I read about the rooftop rack at http://tinyurl.com/2vakb2. I called
Subaru service and was told that the cross bar will hold up to
100lbs. My bed is this size: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/fur/317113725.html

Rent a pick-up for the weekend.....
Money well spent.

Yep, or possibly pack and UPS (hold for pickup) to next destination.
Depending on how often you do this, it could be cheaper and easier than
a trailer. Trailers cost for license, reduce visibilty/safety, increase
wear/tear on the car, etc. Can any of the tables/printer stands be
replaced with cardboard boxes or otherwise 'rigged' AFTER arrival at new
destination? Perhaps building a combination packing crate/printer stand
before hand might work? If it must be presentable for clients, drape
with a nice cloth.

I dunno
