If you do not currently have tracks on the top of your camper the Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount - 55" Long - Qty 2 # RTC14 with Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks # Y02-480B-NT will allow you to attach the roof rack to your truck bed cap.

If you do currently have tracks on the cap then using the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks part # Y02-480B-NT will connect directly to the existing tracks.
