Availability of Roof Rack Crossbars for Use on 2015 Jayco Pop-Up Camper With Factory Side Rails

Question:

I have a 2015 Jayco Pop Up Camper with a factory universal roof rail on each side of the roof. What Thule or other brand roof rack system will fit into the universal rails?

To date Thule has not developed any custom-fit roof rack crossbars for use on specific campers. My contact at Thule did confirm that he knows of no plans to develop a custom-fit rack system to fit your Jayco's roof rails. It is likely that at least for the short-term only Jayco will offer crossbars intended for the side rails installed on their campers.

We do, however, offer free-standing camper roof rack systems. An example is the SportRack # SR1020 (SportRack is part of the Thule Group.) This rack system can mount on campers up to 85-1/2-inches wide. Its telescoping bars adjust to 80-, 83- or 86-inch lengths. In order for this to mount on your camper the camper's factory side rails must be flush-mounted (not raised above roof level) and there needs to be a straight 90-degree roof edge (no curved or rounded edges).

We also offer systems from Rhino-Rack, such as the RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RTC16 that can be used on conjunction with Track Mount RLCP Legs # RLT500 (sold in a set of two). With these you can use Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty 50-Inch Roof Rack Crossbars # RB1250S.
