Roof Racks most have

Good luck with that. We have kayaks and wife had a paddle board. The last thing I would want to do is to try and get those things up there and down. Also as other mentioned, the potential to cause damage and the chance of water intrusion. Depending on the weight of your boards, look at strapping them to the ladder. Not sure if you will be able to or not. I know my wife's paddled board weighed over 40 lbs. We got rid of it because she decided she wanted an inflatable one and they are lighter. If you are gonna find a welded, get them make something out of steel that can go into your receiver. Have it like an open box and go up 4 or 5 ft. Put them in that strap them down.

Look here for some ideas...

You didn't say what type of roof you have.
Our mh has a fiberglass roof. I added a carrier for my Kevlar canoe.
If you have a fiberglass roof, West Marine has a page on fastening to fiberglass. If you don't find it, I'll try to explain.

If I didn't already have that useless thing up there I would never add one.
I noticed many new RV's dont have them anymore.

Andy:

I can still hear the wise words from my Grandmother, who would offer to whomever (me included)
that happened to be "BENT" on having their own way. Her final advice was usually:

"Do As You Please."

I’d only ask, WHY do you feel you need a roof rack?
They are being omitted as a feature from lots of
recently built coaches primarily in order to reduce costs &... ...
AND because most racks are seldom used. Or so it seems.
I welcome you or others to enlighten me.

Thanks for the advise i am going to find a aluminum welder and have him build up from the rack to support stand up paddle boards.

Hello,
I want to add roof racks to the roof of my class C, has anyone done this and how? Can you send pics? The boss (my wife) doesn't want me to damage our new RV. Thanks Andy

Listen to your wife. All the mounting screws become potential points for water leaks. Add cargo to it and the wind load will stress those mounting screws even more.

You are better off putting a cargo tray in the hitch.

I think your wife is correct, roof rack ruins the look, may get tangled in tree limbs, lots of trouble to climb up the ladder and retrieve stuff. We had one (actually a fiberglass box) on our Class A and it was a hassle to get up there and crawl on the roof, hand stuff down (or toss down), and after awhile just held stuff that was hardly ever used. Became a place to store junk actually. Really think about what you'd put up there and is that stuff you want to put up there really that necessary?
