    Anyone know which roof rack maker has the lowest clearance roof rack for the camper shell? I wonder if the Yakima roof rack skyline towers is the lowest available in the market or not.

    Depends on price range. Baja rack, prinsu, frontrunner, many options out there.

    yakima-skyline-roof-rack-system-65.png.jpg I'm trying to use it on the AER V series, so far this is what the dealer suggested me with. Around $500 budget on this.

    Along these lines, is there a definitive list of what can be used in Thule tracks? Just got my canopy with the tracks on it, and trying to figure out exactly what is needed to actually get roof bars is confusing me.

    Prinsu seems to be the one that I'm looking for, but is that true it takes months to place the order? I also saw people complaining about their customer service... I'm looking to put a RTT like you do. I'm trying to see what's the best option for me to drive the taco in my garage with the RTT. The garage door opening has only 7ft .... And I'm running a stock OR.

    A month? I've placed at least 5 orders with Zach and the longest one has maybe taken a week and a half from order to delivery.

    The thing you have to remember is that Zach works a day job, has a family and runs Prinsu out of his house. He relies on his manufacturers that can be back logged but still does his best to provide updates and ship racks out as fast as he can. Zach still has one of the best products and best customer service I've ever had. I get looks and compliments all the time about the racks.

    I believe rhino rack can be used, $85 for the mounts and then add the cost of the bars.

    ... Found it on their site, requires a $12 fit kit

    All of them

    Your build is awesome, that's literally the set up I want to go for. Rack over the roof and the capper having a pop up tent to the side like a tepui

    Does the prinsu rack mount in the OEM roof rack holes?

    IMG_7149.jpg Prinsu all the way! Many compliments and looks really good with the camper shell. Also have the freedom to just haul long prieces of timber or furniture is really convenient.
