Off road Camper Trailer Roof Racks for Roof Top Tents
Getting the equipment you need to carry to fit in your camper trailer is always challenging with stop-start touring - unpacking and re-packing is always frustrating.
The Problem:
Large, open dirty space for firewood, fuels, spares, tools, ladders, tables etc is really lacking in most designs - another problem is awnings. Manufacturers produce trailers with awnings that will sell at shows - rather than building an awning that is fast to set up and pack down. Trailer heights are not usually concurrent with fixed awning pitch heights either - which results in 'Lifting arms' to get the awnings up to height before putting them out.
​
The Solutions:
Add a Tough Touring Trailer 350mm roof rack for storage space and a mounting point for the awning. It is an ideal place to store firewood.
Alternatively if you have a roof rack of your own - Our "Camper Trailer Toe Rail Conversion kit " kit allows you to put a 'Toe rail' or gutter on to your trailer top so that you can then fit Gutter type roof racks.
Touring Trailer Ramblings: The BIG issue is Storage.
​
Long-term remote touring requires a lot of hard work and equipment. Water, firewood, fuel storage, refrigeration, tools, recovery equipment, tables, food, batteries, solar, spares, warm/cold clothing and bedding.

"On Most camper trailers - Adding a roof rack to the top of the camper can be used to achieve suitalble mounting height required for pole less awnings" - as no "lifting" awning brackets to date have been stiff enough to support the larger wing awnings in stronger wind. Typically a mounting height of 1950mm on all awnings is required for the majority of people to be able to stand underneath the awning!
The Pictures on this page show Tough Touring racks being fitted to various off road trailers to provide additional dirty storage space underneath, as well as to give the trailer a bit more height so that you can run pole less wing awnings for a speedier set up and pack up Trailer Our Tough Touring Camper trailer rack (listed on our site as a 'Patriot Rack') converts a 'camping' trailer into a 'Touring traier - Making adding a rack to your trailer top possible
