Anybody have any ideas or links to some type of rack(s) that would attach to the side of my truck camper? It is a pop-up truck camper and I don't want to be walking on the roof to get the boards on/off. I have seen some around on a rare occasion, but haven't got a chance for close inspection. I'd gather I could make some, but was looking for ideas. Does anybody sell anything like this?
Thanks
I have a pop up as well. Luckily, most of my surf gear fits inside.
I had racks on the top but removed them because it was just too high of a reach.
However, I've recently been thinking about figuring out a way to use the jack attachments as means of toting kayak's etc.
Not sure which model pop up you have but the corner will likely be the strongest place.
I know the cab would sit right where these are but I thought I would throw this out there, Tom
It is a SunLite pop up on a 2001 F-350. Yes, I fit everything inside right now also, but it would be nice to be able to just jump in back without taking stuff out. The racks I have seen are 2 "J" shape pieces attached to the side wall. I'm just not sure about a strap system to keep boards from flopping around or flying off at freeway speeds. Attachments to the side walls would need to be made to some supporting frame members (obviously). Hmmm, jack attachments might work also.
FWIW
I stay away from PVC as a construction material. It doesn't handle UV well and gets brittle real fast.
2 years plus with my PVC racks and still running strong and my personal boards stay on 24/7
