Eagle Cap 960 roof rack

No Eagle Cap owners on this forum?

Our ladder does not wrap onto roof. Simple rail

I wouldn't use as a 'luggage' rack but works to get me up, more importantly down with something to grab.

So your Eagle Cap 960 did not come with a roof rack or ladder? Our Bigfoot came with a Maggie Roof rack and ladder. The rack and ladder don't connect at the top either but as you get to the top of the ladder you grab the roof rack and help yourself onto the roof. Pretty easy transition.

Hi David,

The camper did come with a ladder. The factory recommend a Maggie roof rack. Not real crazy about putting it on if I get one though.

If you don't need a full roof rack they make a top grab rail roof rung that is separate from a full maggie rack system.

you can see it above my ladder in the photo

I've thought about that too. Buzzcut1 is your's metal or plastic? If plastic how long have you had it mounted?

The racks on campers are fairly useless and are really there to just provide a hand hold when getting onto the roof. I would just get a Maggie Ladder and grab rail like Buzzcut1.

it is metal and has been up there since 2008

I have an EC and I took off the cross members of my Maggie Rack for several reasons:

If I actually loaded anything on them, they would have blocked my solar panels and the raising of my fantastic fan vent lids.

With a rear electric awning, the climb from the ladder over the folded in awning and hauling my ass to the roof by grabbing the Maggie rack was just NOT going to happen.

I access the roof through the large Heiki skylight.

Interesting I thought the Maggie rack would help me get on the roof.
