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.
