I just added a boat rack to the top of my TC to haul my canoe. The canoe is presently sitting on it. Sure nice to have it out of the garage. It is one of those green Old Towns. Will it hurt anyt...
The nylon straps on my boat cover rotted due to UV exposure. Black is a great color for maximizing UV damage. Using yellow or blue (as Thule does) straps will provide longer life. The last thing I would want is to have a canoe flip off the camper while driving and possible cause a fatal accident for someone behind me.
