Roof carrying

Just get yourself some 2x4's and big "C" clamps. The put some plywood on it and your done.

A number of manufacturers make soft bags that are designed to travel on factory roof rails, much less expensive than hard cases. We have a crew cab; that's where our stuff goes, but nobody (but us) calls it a "stuff cab". Easy to access, and almost as importantly, drives our centre of gravity low and forward. We carry a canoe on top, but it's awkward to access at the best of times.

If it's got the big fat round rail on each side with a front middle and rear support its rated for 165 pounds. look on craigs list for cargo boxes.

There is nothing I would want haul up to and down from the roof. This will be 11+ feet in the air plus potentially add additional height to your camper.

Yeah, it's a pain. Although I do carry little stuff up there like BBQ and lawn chairs. Stuff I can bungee to a rail. Ours has a u shaped rail at the back.

And raise your center of gravity if what you want to put up there has any significant weight.

I carry two kayaks up there all the time. I don't notice any change in the sway of the rig at all.

Get some superstruts at lowes/HD and build your own rack. Hope you are not afraid of heights! I carry all kinds of stuff on my roof but it is not for the faint of heart being up there.

My buddy used Thule LB96 load bars to secure two kayaks.

Wow........I have 2 Wilderness systems rigs, a 10 and a 12 set up for bass fishing. I have a bear of a time getting them on top of the cab high cap on my 15 GMC 2500 by myself, and they're about the lightest around in a sit on top boat.

How do you get them up there?
