Review on ๐Ÿž๏ธ YAKIMA, Landing Pad Rooftop Fixed Point Tower Installation for Uncovered Surfaces by Dangelo Toliver

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent pads, short screws

I purchased Yakima Landing Pads (#6) to attach my existing Yakima Control Towers and Crossbars to a new camper setup. There is no alternative if you want to remain compatible. They go perfectly with the old Control Towers. Installation was relatively easy. The main problem was that the screws included in the kit were not long enough to fit through the roof of the RV hull. Most RV hulls now have a thicker roof for strength and insulation. The included screws are only 1.5 inches long. I went to a hardware store and bought eight 2" stainless steel screws for about $8, which were great for installing landing pads on a thicker roof. I tested the landing pads by dragging two kayaks over the top of the RV frame. and I didn't lose them along the way!

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • The list will be long.
