These are very clever. I would like to order 2 sets from you. The DM is not working for me, perhaps because I just created the forum account. How else can I get in touch with you?

Most of the first batch is spoken for. I have 3 sets left for anyone who’s been on the fence. Let me know if I can answer any questions!
how does the mount work with high frequency vibration? (mobbing thru the desert washboard roads)
@seelyb We don’t really have a good way to test that up here in Michigan, but the stainless brackets are pretty sturdy. They also have rubber bumpers that support the ends of the arms and cushion the vibration. I wouldn’t see it being an issue.
First batch of orders are heading out in 3-4 days. I have 3 sets available for purchase with no lead time. Message me for details!

These look great, and I’m interested. It’s a clever design, but as others have mentioned, I’d definitely like to see some real world testing in desert and mountain conditions like we have here in Colorado and the southwest. Corrugations are real, and they don’t call ‘em the Rockies for no reason.

Hey, I would be willing to discuss guinea pig mounting to the back of the camper. I also live in Southwest colorado, so my normal use case is all around the San Juan mtns, the nearby deserts and rivers… so it will be “thoroughly tested” every time I go off grid.
Last of the orders went out this morning. Thanks to everyone who got in on the first round! Let me know what you think about the packaging and the product itself. I’ll take all the criticism that I can get as this is my first attempt at entrepreneurship. Cheers!

When is round 2 coming? I’d love to get a set.
I actually have 2 sets available right now!
Any reason why this couldn’t be used to mount perpendicularly across the back lip of the camper? I think that would work well for me given that I have 3 beef bars and I would want the maxtrax to be out of the way when throwing kayaks up there.

They fit back there, for sure. They just haven’t been tested in that position. Only negative to that spot is that wind would be pulling up on the mounts /boards instead of running along them. There could be some vibrational issues with that. I did switch from a mild steel to a stronger stainless steel before the production run which helped reduce some of the flex in the mounts.

I would have a beef bar a foot or so in front of them that I’d think would break up any air headed their way but I’m no fluid dynamics engineer.
Yeah I would think that would help a bunch. You’re more than welcome to order a set and if you don’t like them, I’ll refund them minus any restocking fees.
