Roof Rack, Kayak Carrier, and Bike Rack for a 1997 Jayco Pop Up Camper
Question:
Trying to find a roof rack system for my 97 Jayco tent trailer modle #1207 KB. I am looking for one that can hold at least 200 lbs and attaches to the side of the trailer trailers sides are flat. The roof can support up to 350 lbs of weight. Looking to haul some kayaks that nest together 150 lbs and having bikes either on the outside or some other spot. Thanks for your help.

For a roof rack for your 1997 Jayco 1207 pop up the Sportrack # SR1020 would be a great option. This rack is designed to fit pop ups like yours and has a 200 lb capacity like you said you need.
Then for kayak carriers the JayLow part # Y04073 would be a great option. This is a j-style rack that makes for easy loading and unloading.
Then for a roof bike rack you could use the Thule ProRide XT part # TH598004 for your bikes. This is a frame mounted bike rack that will work with the roof rack. I attached a review video for it.
