Question:
I recently bought a camper shell that came with Thule rails. Can this rail system be used to hoist and suspend the camper shell when its not needed? Thanks

The Thule Roof Mounted rail system # THTB60 is for a downward load. The mounting points aren't made to be strong enough to hold that amount of weight.
