Looking to install a roofrack!!!
I am new, this is my first post! I have a 1998 Dodge Caravan, base model 4 cylinder. Love it, but it doesn't have a roof rack. We are traveling with 3 adults and a 9 year old, and two large German Shepherds from the east coast of Virginia to the Chicago area. We have tried to come up with a million different ways of traveling with everything ( including two folddown crates, 48" and 42" long), and seeing as the hitch is only a little over an inch, the behind the van baskets won't fit outright, so looking to check out junkyards for a roof rack. Does anyone know if I can use a rack off any vehicle, must it be a Dodge? Also, any tips for installing it, not sure how they will come off/go on, if they are screwed in, how to keep them tight and secure, and water tight! I know I sound like a dunce, but this is a last option besides renting a large vehicle, but that is around a thousand dollars or more, plus is may not have a roof rack, and we just don't have the money for that!
