Question:
Looking for a rack I can mount a rooftop tent to on a trailer. Trailer is 48 x 96. Would like 40 inches or more clearance

Expert Reply:
There are a couple options to add a rack system to your trailer, depending on what type of trailer you have. For an enclosed trailer with rain gutters you can install the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28.
Another option is to use a track-mounted system from Rhino-Rack. You will need the Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Rivet Mount - 50" Long # RRRTV128, Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks # RRRLT600 and crossbars, either the 54" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 or 59" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2.
The easiest option is to just forego your own install and get a ready-made trailer and tent combination, the Yakima EasyRider Trailer with SkyRise HD 2 Person Tent # Y08129-3627 or the Yakima EasyRider Trailer with SkyRise HD 3 Person Tent # Y08129-3727.
I've added links to video reviews and written install instructions for you to check out.
