Roof Toppers

This article looks at the features of the ‘roof topper’ and provides a guide to selecting, fitting out and carrying a roof top boat on your travels.

We purchased our car topper (on the camper) around 11 months ago now and am kicking ourselves for not doing it sooner. We love the extra freedom it gives us as well as the enhancement to activities we enjoy such as fishing and exploring. You don't need anything too flash or fast to get out there as most of the things we do are calm water trips anyway. Regards David.

Hi Graham,

We have a 3.7m Quintrex Traveller and 15hp Mercury which is a great size for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids 7 & 9). I can still handle the boat easily but also have a boat loader on the camper and Flip'N'Easy boat folding trailer to tow longer distances.

The boat loader is extremely easy to use, undo 2 latches and flip her over. Its gas strut assisted so quite effortless.

The only issue I have at the moment is an easy way to carry the boat trailer. That will be sorted so hopefully though.

Regards
David
