Expert Reply:
I assume you have rails on your camper like the Swagman Roamer LT Roof Rack for Pop-Up Campers and Camper Shells # S80510 along with a roof mounted bike rack like # TH599000. The ability to use your trailer with that system installed would completely depend on your trailer's abilities. Some trailers may have a max capacity for roof mounted accessories when raised. For instance some units have an air conditioning system mounted and others do not, but obviously the capacity to do so is available on some models. You'd need to check with the manufacturer if your owners manual doesn't give enough information.
If you can't get a direct answer, I don't recommend doing so as wind and other factors could possibly cause damage to your camper.
