There were versions of the A.R.E. camper shells that had tracks on them already. The factory rails were made by Yakima. For a complete roof rack system on your A.R.E. topper you will need the following parts if you have the rails:

4 of the Yakima Control Towers # Y8890027
2 sets (2ea) Yakima Landing Pad 1 # Y00221
1 set (2ea) Yakima Crossbars:
58 inch bars are # Y00409
66 inch bars are # Y00410
78 inch bars are # Y00411
