The Yakima SkyBox 18 Cargo Box, # Y07336, is designed to be mounted on a roof rack system.

In order to mount the cargo box on the top of your Artic Fox camper, you will need to install a roof track system like the Yakima which would consist of the following: Yakima 42 Inch Tracks, # Y01126, Control Towers, # Y8890027, and Landing Pad, # Y00221, Qty 2 and Round 58" CrossBars, # Y00409. I have included a video of the track system being installed on a Ford F-250 just to give you an idea of the process.

Since the cargo box and roof rack system will add approximately 24 inches to the top of your camper, I recommend checking with the local DMV to make sure that this is acceptable.

Tracks can absolutely be installed on the roof of your A.R.E. Truck Cap to provide a mounting system for a roof rack. For this I recommend the Yakima Tracks, which come in 42 inch #Y01126, 54 inch #Y01127, and 60 inch #Y01135 lengths. These tracks…

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…
