I needed to mount a rack on top of our 2001 roadtrek 190 versatile, because we love canoeing and we could not plan a trip to Alaska and Yukon without being able to carry our 16 foot canoe to these remote places.
I did not wanted to put bolts through the fiberglass, so I used the rain gutters that run on each side of our Dodge 3500 .
On the driver side, it was just a matter of welding a piece of steel long enough to reach the top of the roadtrek.
On the passenger side, the awning was a major problem. The rain gutter attachment had to be modified in a way that it can go behind the awning, and that it can be secured by a bolt that was not in the way of the awning.
After a few tries, I was able to figure it out.
I found a place in British Columbia (load-it.com)that makes a side loader for a canoe or a kayak, and the side loader must be fixed on a roof rack.
I will order it soon and come back to you when it is installed.
