Anyone Carry Small Aluminum Boat on top of Camper??

I was think of having rollers on the rear most bar (lean boat against) and a winch at the front of the truck. Kind of a boat loading system. Then put those fold up boat tires on the transom to pull the boat with motor attached and all my gear inside to the water.

With 12' long boat and 12' tall camper your boat will need to be lifted before it will start rolling on camper.

I did it for years on a cab high canopy but the back won't take it anymore. Loading and unloading is a real bear when alone especially if the ramp is not close to level. A good boat loader would be your friend but they are not cheap. Have you considered a small inflatable?

I do 16' canoe.
First one I had was 80lb and loading was difficult.
Main problem was carrying the 80 lb to the lake, so I've got 45lb model made with Kevlar.
That one works as a charm.
With 120 lb you will be for a challenge. My camper had luggage railing around the back, so I bought those foam covers at Sport Rack and just slide canoe over them.
