Roof Rack Options for a Pop Up Tent Trailer
Question:
We have a tent trailer that has rounded sides from the roof line to the side. It appears that this roof rack needs to mount on a top with horizontal/vertical top and bottom not rounded. Is this true or will it fit ours. It talks about a rail kit included and Im not sure if the rack will fit on this rail kit or if the rail kit is the rack itself.

Expert Reply:
You are correct, the Sportrack Tent Trailer Roof Rack, # SR1020, will not work if the trailer roof has rounded edges. What you need is a system that comes with tracks that mount to the top, flat part of the roof. Take a look at the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System, # Y01-120. The tracks with this system are 63 inches long. You also get 4 feet and 2 load bars.
Make sure to check the trailer owners manual or with the trailer manufacturer to make sure that the trailer can be fitted with a roof rack and for the weight capacity of the roof.
