My new to me 95 caribou needs some real roof rack cross bars to carry kayaks and a ski box.
How are people fastening rack towers to truck campers?
Should I just get some aluminum angle and bolt right to the rain gutters?
I'd like to do two bars both front and rear that go the full width of the camper.
I am thinking some aluminum rectangle tubing, or maybe an oval profile.
Anyone have ideas that they used that were good, or that should be avoided?
Planning to do something custom, but if there is something off the shelf that is well made, I'd look seriously at that too.
8' is a long way to span. on my Lance, I did it with 2x4s to the cargo rack and used foam blocks in the middle to limit deflection. That worked pretty well.
Thanks.
