Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Rockwood HW277

Question:

I have a 2012 Rockwood HW277 pop up tent trailer with a fiberglass roof. The roof is not perfectly flat either. I would like to mount 2 kayaks to the roof for transport. What mount and rack would be best to use? Are there mounts that do not require drilling holes into the roof? Thanks

Since you have a fiberglass roof I would first recommend you check with Rockwood to determine if they recommend you install a roof rack and see what the weight capacity would be.

There is a special roof rack from SportRack designed to fit pop-up campers. You would use # SR1020. Drilling is required for installation. The only issue is that it will not fits pups with roofs with rounded or curved edges.

We also have Swagman rack # S80510. It is also considered a universal fit except it will not fit pups with plastic 1-piece trailer tops.

With either rack the JayLow part # Y04073 would be a great option for a kayak carrier.
