Install of roof rack
I would like to install a roof rack on my Adventurer 89RB. How are you guys intalling it? are you just installing screws into the sidewall? I guess this means it has to be installed on the edges, isn't it hard to find cross bars long enough then?
I am considering two different methods.
- Topline Maggie: I like this one as I could just use unistrut as the crossbars. I'm a bit concerned with only 3 screws per pod.
-Yakima Track system: I like this as it would be low profile if completely removed but it would be more expensive as i'd have to buy the towers and crossbars.
I am trying to get a framing spec to see if they have any blocking or anything in the roof for this purpose.
thanks for any help.
edit: what about through bolting it? I think I could hide the plates behind the carpet in the ceiling and they'd be in the cabinets. How big of plates do you think I'd want to use?
