Hi There,

Here's a pic of the roof-rack my friend made; he had other plans, so I have it now on permanent loan. It's quite heavy, about 60lbs, but you can stand on it as it is made with a thicker-walled tubing. The Thule racks work well and I have had it loaded with bulky, light, camping gear in the summer. Those are my assistants, helping with the POR15. Powder coating would be a better way to go, but I'll keep it touched up. Future plan was for a expanded metal floor. However, with all the info about gutter failures, I will definitely keep it lightly loaded. The rack tapers in front to follow the roof lines.

Cheers,
Rob
