I've just been in email contact with Yakima, and asked what was
the longest track and longest bar they sold. I've got Yakima racks
on two vehicles already, so now want to do an installation on a camper
roof which is ~84" wide by 190" long. The answer from Yakima was
that the longest track they sell is 60" and the longest crossbar is
78", but they suggested I check on Fleetwood, which has a 98"
crossbar. Haven't done that yet, but SS tube, if it is thick
enough and available, would be a good solution to the crossbar
problem. Yakima bars, even with plastic coating, are incredibly
slippery. SS could not be worse. Tom McCloud

On the fact of it, seems pretty simple: SS tubing cut to
length...
Maybe there's a diameter issue? (i.e. Yak's steel tubes plus the
coating they put on them might be some orphan size)
