Published 08/22/2018

Question:

Does the small band of metal from roof that rolls down around my trailer qualify as rain gutters? I would like to know if the roof rack system fits on this trailer attached. Im confused as to if this will work. Rackem Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack Item # RA-28

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 referenced in your question will work on your enclosed trailer. Rain gutters are essentially a channel along the roof sides of a trailer, but a steel header like what you have pictured on your trailer will also work just fine as an effective mounting point for the ladder rack.

If you check out the installation video I have attached, you can see that the trailer we installed the system on features a steel header very similar to what you have.
