Question:
I have a 2012 Rockwood HW277 pop up tent trailer with a fiberglass roof. The roof is not perfectly flat either. I would like to mount 2 kayaks to the roof for transport. What mount and rack would be best to use? Are there mounts that do not require drilling holes into the roof? Thanks

Expert Reply:
Since you have a fiberglass roof I would first recommend you check with Rockwood to determine if they recommend you install a roof rack and see what the weight capacity would be.
There is a special roof rack from SportRack designed to fit pop-up campers. You would use # SR1020. Drilling is required for installation. The only issue is that it will not fits pups with roofs with rounded or curved edges.
We also have Swagman rack # S80510. It is also considered a universal fit except it will not fit pups with plastic 1-piece trailer tops.
With either rack the JayLow part # Y04073 would be a great option for a kayak carrier.
