Does the Swagman LT Roamer Roof Rack Require Drilling on My 2016 Jayco 12UD Camper?
Question:
Do I drill through the roof and use the supporting plates or the black edging with the lag screws?

I have an answer for you. The Swagman LT Roamer Roof Rack # S80510 requires drilling in order to be used on all campers/camper shells that it is confirmed to fit. Fortunately, our installation team here at etrailer has already mounted the Swagman LT Roamer Roof Rack on a 2016 Jayco Jay Series Sport Camper 12UD. However, there is currently no drill-free solution for mounting crossbars on your camper.
If you need an extra height boost while installing the LT Roamer, I recommend the Telesteps Telescopic Ladder - Wide Step - 12-1/2' Extended Height - 16' Reach # TE44FR. In addition to helping with the installation, the Telesteps will be a great accessory for when you are cleaning the exterior of your RV.
