Hi There Campers,
Have a question for you! What is the best type of roof rack to install on my 2002 9' adventurer truck  camper, and what is the best way to fix it down on the roof, so that is very secure?Thanks in advance, for any help that you can throw my way! Scotty |

I installed Yakima control towers at the edges of the roof on my 8 ft. Lance. The camper has 1 inch aluminum tubing in the roof so the rack store (Rack Attack in Vancouver) drilled into the tubing to insert the anchor bolts. It is all well sealed, but leaks are always a risk when you drill into the roof. Rack Attack guarantees that it won't leak. The cross bars are 86 inches long. I carry a canoe or two kayaks on the roof. One of the advantages of this system is that you can remove the rack for the winter (the mounting pads stay in place).
