I am considering a full roof rack purchase for an awning and probably a roof top tent that would be removed in the colder months. Also maybe some scene/camp lights just for camping purposes.

With those uses in mind is there any one rack that is better than the others for mounting the roof top tent AND an awning? its really hard to tell from owners photos etc. I was looking at the Victory4x4 model cause it is relatively cheap for what it is, but also considering Sherpa or Prinsu. Most of these racks with the solid sides and low mounting make it look like getting clamps for the RTT on and off would be a massive pain.

Please give me your recommendations!

I highly recommend the Westcott rack. They make two different versions, a low profile and a modular version. Their products are top quality, and they stand behind their work.!

I have the westcott lo pro rack. Mounted my awning and a bushveld II tent to it without issue. I used xtrusion overland mounting brackets to keep the tent super low across the rack. Mounted my awning and RTT to the same crossbars so removal is as easy as unbolting 3 crossbars and lifting it straight up. Love the setup, rack has been super solid for the last year, no rattles and less wind noise than OEM when bare

No pics with the RTT and awning mounted though :rolleyes: completely forgot when it was all mounted for my trip

I am running Prinsu Pro. Love it. I’ve run all sorts of stuff off it so far and it’s rock solid. No extra noises or anything like that.

Ive got the Backwoods DRIFTR rack, its nice and I installed it in my driveway.
But what I didnt take into account was their crossbars are 1x3 extrusions, not the standard 1x2, so a lot of mounts may not work with them or other items in the future.
It never crossed my mind when searching for a roof rack, but I think I might have gone with a different brand if I had thought about it earlier.

I just ordered the Prinsu Pro last night on sale. I think its the nicest full rack and its actually cheaper than most on sale to boot.
