We have a couple of racks that may work for the top of your Jayco popup camper. I recommend the SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack, part # SR1020. This features telescoping crossbars that can be adjusted to lengths of 80, 83, or 86 inches. This rack has a weight capacity of 200 lbs. This will not fit trailer roofs with rounded or curved edges.

Another roof rack you may want to check out is the Swagman Roamer LT Roof Rack, part # S80510. This system is not designed to be used with plastic one-piece trailer tops. this system has a weight capacity of 150 lbs.

I have also attached a link to the bike racks that attach to roof racks. You can use the menu at the left of the page to select the features you are interested in. If you need help selecting a bike rack for your camper roof rack just let me know how many bikes and what style and I would be happy to make some recommendations for you.

I have also attached a link to our product page for roof cargo carriers you can attach to the rack on the camper roof top. Depending on the features you are wanting you can use the menu to find the cargo carrier that suits your needs.

I have a 2012 Jayco. Jayco series. Am I going to create a leak using a roof rack? Jayco pop up 1207 0166. What do you recommend?

@ElaineW Installation for both of these racks requires using silicone to seal the holes you are going to have to drill into the roof for the installation.
