Roof Rack Recommendation for Utility Trailer with 1-1/2 Inch Steel Tubing
Question:
Hi. I jave a 4x6 eagle falcon series utility trailer. It has 1.5 in steel tubing size and wonder if you have a rack to attach to it for a roof top tent? Total weight with occupants will be around 500lbs

Expert Reply:
For your application I recommend using the 54" Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 with the SX Series Legs # RRSX008. The legs are confirmed to fit the factory bars on a Nissan Xterra which has at least a 2" diameter so there shouldn't be any issues with the 1-1/2" bars on your utility trailer.
This system is rated for up to 165 lbs dynamic (when moving) so it will be just fine for your tent static (non-moving) weight rating needs, but I do recommend checking with your trailer manufacturer to make sure it's safe for you to add that much weight to the rails on your trailer.
