We Test the ARKSEN Universal Roof Rack: Adventure Ready

We recently took the ARKSEN 54 x 34 x 6 Inch Universal Roof Rack for a spin during our weekend camping trip, and we’re impressed with its performance. The 150-pound capacity easily handled our gear, while the extension provided extra space for bulkier items. What caught our attention was the included 600D waterproof bag-our equipment stayed completely dry despite an unexpected downpour.

Installation was straightforward, taking us about 30 minutes. The two included ratchet straps secured everything firmly, and the cargo net added an extra layer of security for smaller items. We appreciated how the steel construction felt solid yet wasn’t excessively heavy.

For SUV, truck, and RV owners seeking additional storage space without breaking the bank, this ARKSEN roof rack delivers excellent value, balancing durability with practical features that weekend warriors will appreciate.
