Install rails on camper shell

August 25, 2017 3:25 PM

I have a Yakima system installed on the roof rails of my car. I would like to be able to simply lift the entire assembly (towers, bars, and box) and put it on the camper shell of my truck. Is it possible to install similar rails on the camper shell? Photos here

Depending on the width, it may be easier to use slightly wider cross bars, and have a second set of towers mounted to the camper shell. Then you just leave the car towers on the bars, unused, when you're hooked up to the shell.

Not rails but Artificial rain gutters. Weird, I know, but that is the term you are looking for.

I don't know if the is a bracket (artificial gutter) that will fit those towers though. <
