    I sold my Max-Modular bed rack and now I have a Topo Topper popup camper.

    I really liked the setup I had on my bed rack; FuelPax on the driver's and Maxtrax on the passenger's side.

    I figured a single L-Track on either side of my camper would suffice, since they were previously mounted on a single horizontal crossbar on the bed rack.

    Has anyone mounted their Maxtrax or RotoPax on a single L-Track?

    If so, what was your solution to mounting them to said L-Track?

    TIA!

    Absolutely love it! Got it installed mid-July and have been hitting the trails almost every weekend since.

    If I'm not mistaken, the stock struts are able to lift two mountain bikes with ease, so I think 4gal of fuel would be a breeze. But obviously if you add more weight, you'll need stronger struts.

    [​IMG] I'm thinking of installing dual L-tracks on my tailgate to hang a couple of Rotopax cans. I think it will need a sturdy bracket to span the horizontal tracks vertically, and the Rotopax could be bolted to it. I have not found such a bracket, and would likely need to fabricate it from at least 3/16" aluminum stock. Harker sells them to go on the side of their campers, but I'd need one shorter than that.
