Question:
I want to put bike and/or canoe racks on a popup camper. The m/f told me that there is 1 1/2 inches of wood alll around the perimeter of the top. Will that be sufficient to attach the roof bars SportRack/SR1020 What bike racks to you have that are compatible with that system? thanks

The SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack, part # SR1020 will work well with your camper roof. This roof rack has crossbars that can be adjusted to 80-inches, 83-inches, or 86-inches long. This roof rack will work with a maximum trailer width of 85-1/2 inches. The roof rack has a 200-lb capacity. The square crossbars measure 3/4 x 3/4 inches.
We do offer several bike carriers that will work with the SportRack roof rack. We have frame mount, fork mount, and wheel mount carriers. I have attached a link to our product page for the carriers we offer.
For a fork mount carrier I recommend a carrier like the Inno Multi-Fork Lock Roof Bike Carrier, part # INA392. This will work with 9mm fork, 15mm thru-axle, and 20mm thru-axle bikes, and also has carrier and bike locks.
For a frame mounted carrier I recommend the Swagman Upright, part # S64720.
If you are interested in a wheel mount bike carrier I recommend the Yakima FrontLoader, part # Y02103.
The canoe carrier I recommend is the Rhino-Rack Nautic, part # RR570. This system comes with straps for the canoe to secure it to the carrier and bow and stern ropes.
I have attached links to some review videos for these bike carriers you can check out.
