    Finally installed my rack today. Its pretty simple. I really mucked up the holes in the rubber strip but it will be alright. Now that I know how I should have done it they would have been easier and neater. Im impressed by the quality of the product.

    I wanted to add another crossbar to the rack. Sent an email and got a quick reply. Ordered and shipped to me in just a couple days. Very quick. Thank you

    depending on your set up; with my camper, i get a boost in mpg into head winds (able to keep normal in headwinds) and the noise in our case is less or the same, - putting the (listed below in the 'products discussed in' ) door rubber seal helped a lot in general

    Which brackets can I use to mount a light bar? Would the cali raised work?

    Absolutely love my rack. Everything about it is great. The only problem I’m having is the vibration issue at high speeds (70-80mph). It appears it is where the middle of the wind deflector meets the roof. It is sitting barely on the roof and I do have the weather strip already. Wind deflector is on the two lowest holes. Anyone else experience this and have a easy fix?

    Glad you're liking your new rack! If you're having any vibrations, check to ensure that the rack is sitting as square as possible on the truck and that all bolts are fastened securely. If the vibration is coming from the deflector due to making contact with the truck, removing the rubber trim should alleviate this and confirm the cause of the vibration. Hope this helps!

    Vibrations on mine went away when I installed the trim piece. I have it on the lowest setting.

    It appears that there is a tiny gap between the rubber trim I put on the wind deflector and the cab of the truck. I’ll try removing the trim and see if that helps it. Thank you!

    Anyone who has the camper rack and a GFC,

    do you think it'd be possible to install the camper rack designed for a GFC, while the GFC is still mounted? Or would the GFC need to be removed for the install?

    Got my GFC installed this past weekend, and didn't consider getting the camper rack until it was gonna be arriving after the GFC install.
