What do you have on your roof? 30# struts are great for empty roofs, #40 are good for small solar panels. I have #80 on mine, and nearly new set of 40# in my garage collecting dust.

Howdy
You should install front and rear...the fronts are more helpful than rears.
Good luck with the project......set a day aside to complete it well.....read thru all the discussion.
What screws? Bedding sealant....what weight lifts, how best to secure to camper framing ? etc. etc.

Great. Thank you. I’ve found the helpful advice of what to purchase, I was hoping to find a more in detail of measuring and to either to screw/bolt/rivet etc. i couldn’t find any of that.
thanks!
I threw bolted both the bottom of both the front and rear mounts then used #10 3/4" hex head bolts for the top mounts.
