Roof Tent Mounting Options

Yep, I have thought about that too. I have seen a couple other set ups with custom "cages" inside the bed/topper. But since I am not a welder or fabricator, maybe a Contractors Ladder Rack would solve all issues?

I reinforced my shell. I have a short writeup on my web site. A link is in my signature. I felt better about having the weight tied to the bed.

Here is the link to my shell supports. I can't seam to be able to upload pictures from my iPhone.


I hope this helps.

We have many customers who fit RTTs on standard fiberglass camper shells. I fitted a medium Columbus to the standard ARE shell on my F350 using a Yakima rail system and two cross bars - no re-inforcement required.

Most camper shell manufacturers offer a heavy duty shell designed for carrying heavy loads. SO that is an option also.
