I asked a question before and just want to clarify. Is this ok to put on the roof of my Acadia? Unfortunately I don't have a trailer hitch .

You would be better off getting one made for the roof of your car, their straps would be in the right place to secure it.

I cannot say definitely, but I cannot imagine why not. I is just a larger water proof bag; so if you can strap it down securely, I would think that it would work.

I had a sunroof on my Acadia when I used it. It was no problem for us. Great product still looks like new

I would suggest you ask a trusted mechanic or dealer that sells trailer hitches. You would need to buy a trailer hitch & get it installed to hold the platform. I'm not sure all cars can have a hitch installed due to unibody construction, that's why I suggest talking to a mechanic or dealer. Gary

Hi, you would need a awning rail to mount to the van. It is for rvs but may work on van. Not sure if there is a flat area at the top of the van or if you would have enough room underneath it.

NO. You can't get the trailer up high enough with this. you would have to add about 2 more inches by having a board or something else to drive up on first. then onto this. I had to jack the trailer up as I was near heat exhaustion and didn't think of the other idea until after I about killed myself trying to jack it up in 110 degrees. I even wrote a complaint about it.

This is the roof cross bars. Yes you could tie a kayak to it but it might be best to get a kayak rack to add to these bars.

Put it on a chevy equinox suv. Lower than a pick up truck and bottom will scrap the ground going up an incline. My carrier is sits level on the hitch.I would like to get a hitch riser to raiser it up a few inches.

There is no problem mounting to your trailer. My friend has his mounted on a mast which is mounted on the roof of his trailer and has guy wires attached to the framework. He has NO problem receiving or transmitting. He drove a ground rod into the earth alongside his radio room so that the antenna would have a good ground. If you don't want to mount to your 'tin can' you could always install a 4" X 4" treated post alongside your trailer and mount the antenna to it. You will still have to drive a ground rod into the earth to provide a proper ground for the installation. Either way should work for you. There is no problem mounting to your trailer.

it is mounted on the roof, I don't see why it wouldn't work ? Another thing, it's not like it is a great expensive item, I think it's worth a try.

I installed this on a 2011 Buick Enclave, which is the same frame as your Acadia. This hitch bolts directly to the frame in the holes already made from the factory. The kit comes with all the blots. The factory designed your vehicle to have a hit, so the I must assume, the spare tire was already designed to work with the hitch on your model. There was no issues with the spare on my 2011 Buick. Google how to install the hitch, there are lots of forums with good info that I used when I did mine. My install was very straight forward with no real issues . Good luck.

Not with the tubing that comes stock on this carrier. Not near strong enough. A good welding shop should be able to make the needed modifications to allow you to add a trailer hitch. This carrier is good and I have really enjoyed using it.

No. It was the wrong size for my husband's trailer hitch and he had to cut it off somehow. The previous customer is correct in saying that it is very heavy and could damage the top of your car.

I have mine mounted to the T-top of my bay boat. They are awesome and seem to be quit durable. I used an ATV ball jointed mounting bracket so I can make the directional.

This hitch is part of a vehicles towing package and is not part of the carrier. If you are putting it on an RV or something with an older style metal bumper there is a receiver you can install to be used instead of the hitch.

I would recommend a trailer if you don't have a PU truck. It would be difficult to get it up on a roof rack without dinging you car.

It's been a long time since I mounted one to a house and I don't know anything about the wall structure of a camper (particularly yours). It's probably possible but my guess is it would be very difficult, meaning whoever did it would have to be very mechanically savy and probably need different mounting hardware than the stuff that comes with the awning. Good Luck!
