Question:
I would love to put crossbars on my tent trailer. Which model would you recommend for a 1996 Jayco Eagle series 8 tent trailer. I would love to carry at least 4 bikes. Thanks

Expert Reply:
If the roof of your tent trailer is a hard shell roof that is flat then roof rack # S80510 is a great option. But if the roof is curved there are no options. I do have another possible solution for you though.
If you do go with the roof rack crossbars you will also need to add 4 roof bike carriers for the 4 bikes. You will also likely have to alternate the directions the bikes are facing to fit them all on the bars. A bike rack such as # TH598004 will fit the bars and you won't have to remove the front bike wheels. I have linked a video of a version of this rack that holds 2 bikes just to show the features.
