Thread: Jayco Camper Van Roof Rack

However there is a round tube that acts like a roof rail that goes at one end of the roof rails - so can anyone tell me if this goes at the front of the roof rack or the back? As it is not adjustable I need to set the roof rails up for this to be mounted either front or rear.

Thanks

Is it a misprint...does the round tube act like a cross rail not a side rail ?
If so am wondering if it's meant to go at the back to be used as a "slide' for loading bulky stuff ...like a tinnie? just a thought

Yeah - typo

That was my thought as well but am not sure - I might go back to the Jayco shop and have a look at some tomorrow.

Thanks

My 2005 Jayco Hawk has the factory rack of the time and it is simple bar tex screwed to the side edges of roof front and rear.
it was designed to carry a light boat or a canoe.
