Here in Vancouver, BC a lot of Westy owners seem to be using the Thule
or Yakima artificial rain gutter brackets
(http://www.thuleracks.com/thule/product.asp?sku=542&dept_id=16)  bolted
to their camper tops and standard crossbars from either company to carry
kayaks, canoes, sailboards etc.  One guy told me he stands on the bars
regularly without any signs of stress appearing in the fibreglass.

Although this looks like the most practical solution, I�m having a hard
time committing to the idea of drilling holes in my camper top.  Any
comments/encouragement from those of you who have done this would be
appreciated; arguments against also appreciated.
