Question: I want to install a roof rack to carry a kayak on our 1979 Dodge Sportsman Class C Motorhome. I am having trouble finding one that fits and am concerned about how I would attach it to the roof without damaging it. Any suggestions?
Answer: Attention kayaking RVers – please comment if you can provide any help on this question. We don’t have any experience with this, so we are posting the question for other input.
All we can suggest is that you might want to get some expertise from an RV service center or aftermarket shop to see if they have expertise. Talk to a Camping World service department for suggestions – maybe they have already done this type of installation. The roof material, structure, and how well you can seal holes would all be considerations.
Other comments welcome.
