Do I Need Wider Crossbars for Accessories and a Roof Top Tent on a Yakima Ladder Rack?

Question

Question:

I am ordering the Yakima Overhaul 60" and the Yakima Road Shower. I eventually will put an iKamper Skycamp 3.0 mini atop the rack. Will the 60" top bar be long (wide) enough to support the RTT and the Road Shower and possibly an awning or would you recommend going with the 68" bar?

I highly recommend using the 68" crossbar version of the Yakima Overhaul Ladder rack item # Y01151-58 with a iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini Roof Top Tent. The dimensions of that tent are 55.1 x 57.5 x 13.0" which will not give you enough room on either side for the 10 Gallon Yakima RoadShower item # Y29VR.

We also have 7 Gallon item # Y89VR and a 4 Gallon item # Y79VR option.

I recommend using the FlexHead Shower Head item # Y04104 so you don't have to shower with a garden hose attachment.

For a compatible awning you will want the Yakima SlimShady Awning item # Y36VR.

Algae needs sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow so since the Yakima RoadShower Portable Solar Shower #Y29VR doesn't let light in it can't grow in the main tank and since there won't be air in the semi transparent tube it can't grow.…

You really could use either one of the 68" #Y01158 or 78" #Y01159 bars, but I have a feeling that the 78" bars are going to stick out a little bit too far, so I do recommend going with the 68" Yakima HD Bars #Y01158. Obviously…

Because the Retrax PRO MX Tonneau Cover #RT80467 for the 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 covers the bed rails, you would not be able to use a ladder rack like the Thule TracRac #TH27000XT since that rack requires the use of the bed rails. The only tonneau…

The Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack #Y01151-57 mounts in a way that it would only be possible to use a tonneau cover with it if the cover has t-slot rails and you use the rail adapters #Y01155. Currently the only confirmed fits we…

Hey Chad, so I'd actually recommend a mid size ladder rack like the Yakima OutPost HD Overland Truck Bed Rack #Y01152-58. This is by far going to be your best bet if you don't want to trailer your kayaks. These bars have a 500 lb weight…
