I have a 2009 gmc sierra with a camper shell/topper. I would like to attach my rod vault parentheses fishing rod vault parentheses but do not want to run crossbars. What options do I have?

Hello Robert. Well you might need to get your "want to" fixed because the Thule RodVault # TH27YV is designed only to mount to roof rack crossbars. So the only way to mount this on you camper shell would be to add a track system with crossbars. We do have option for that like the Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y02-480B which comes with 54" aero crossbars you can use to mount the RodVault.

Hey Robert, did you decide to go with the track system and crossbars for your camper shell to mount the RodVault? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it could help others looking to do something similar.
