I would like to find out how to acquire one of the top carriers I see GMC Motorhomes have on top.
Perfect place for all the window sun shades and tire covers and what-not and such

Are these available? I don't them EVER advertised or on the bay

Should I have got one when Florida closed?

Is this another job for a time-machine?

Inquiring minds want to know.
 
From what I've seen these are fragile unless a coach was mostly parked indoors.
I was at the Co-Op closing event, didn't see any. Florida weather isn't good to 1970s plastic.

I'll probably replace or eliminate mine and I don't think it's worth shipping.
I've considered a Yakima roof box.
 
It appears the original setup bolted the bottom half of the shell to the roof. The bolts are still present on my roof.
There are modern options available.
 
I'm in conversation on a couple of rigs that both have original boxes. If you can wait till I make my purchase, I would be willing to part with either of those. I prefer a more streamlined roofline.

The Coop had a few roof pods along the back fence behind the building that had some cracks and had been outside for...ever? I picked up the best of the lot and repaired the cracks.

There was a lot of stuff that was buried/stashed around the property...it was like an Easter egg hunt poking around looking for stuff.

I'll be removing mine soon as I have solar panels that can use that space. I have no place to store unneeded parts and I hate to just throw-away usable parts, so I'd like it to go to someone who can use it. I'm in Oregon, if you get in the neighborhood.
