Sherpa Bear Paw Camper Roof Rack for 2007-2021 Tundra CrewMax
Sherpa Bear Paw Camper Roof Rack for 2007-2021 Tundra CrewMax
Two Things to Get Right
- Order by your camper, not your truck. The 48" fits a GFC, the 30" fits a Super Pacific. Both on a Tundra CrewMax 5.5' bed.
- Drilling and rivet installation are required. Sherpa recommends professional installation.
A bed camper solves your sleeping problem and creates a storage one. The bed is now a bedroom, the roof of the camper is often off limits or awkward to load, and the strip of space in front of it goes unused. The Bear Paw is the Sherpa PEAK truck camper roof rack that turns that strip into a working platform.
Unlike a camper shell roof rack that sits on top of the shell itself, the Bear Paw mounts in front of your camper on a 2007-2021 Tundra CrewMax, carrying 300 lbs dynamic and 600 lbs static at roughly 45 lbs. It is the ideal spot for a solar panel, traction boards, a shovel, recovery gear, or the cargo that no longer fits in the bed. Two 1/4 inch mounting feet with rivet attachments do the work, and the 48 inch version adds two adjustable pressure mounts. Choose a Full Height wind fairing or a Half Height fairing sized for a single-row light bar. Black textured powder coat, black anodized crossbars, black oxide stainless hardware. Manufactured in Colorado. Lifetime Warranty.
Which Size Fits Your Camper?
This is the decision that matters, and it is set by the camper rather than the truck. Both sizes fit the Tundra CrewMax with a 5.5 foot bed.

|---|---|---|
| Fits | GFC Camper | Super Pacific |
| Truck | Tundra CrewMax, 5.5' bed | |
| Rack Dimensions | 48" x 53.5" x 2.5" | 30" x 53.5" x 2.5" |

If you are unsure which camper you have or whether your setup matches, call us at 844-200-3979 before ordering. Getting this wrong means a return, and we would rather spend two minutes on the phone.
What This Space Is Good For
A topper roof rack or camper rack is not a cab rack. It is a specific, accessible platform right where you need the things you reach for most.
Solar Panel
The most common use. A flat, forward-facing platform that keeps the panel clear of the camper roof and the pop-top mechanism.
Traction Boards
Mounted where you can actually reach them without climbing over a camper or digging through a packed bed.
Overflow Cargo
Once the bed is a bedroom, storage goes somewhere. Fuel cans, a shovel, an axe, or anything awkward.
How the Bear Paw Installs
The rack mounts with two 1/4 inch mounting feet and rivet attachments, which means drilling and setting rivets. The 48 inch version adds two adjustable pressure mounts for extra support across the longer span.
Sherpa recommends professional installation, and we agree. Rivet placement and sealing matter on any roof penetration, and on a truck already carrying a camper you want the work done once and done properly. Two install guides are available below, one per size. Download the one matching your rack.
The PEAK Series
Industry leading premium roof rack systems. The PEAK series is the go-to for a premium aluminum roof rack. It is the line that Sherpa built its name on, and for years it has carried the gear of the most extreme adventurers. Sherpa believes in the constant evolution of their products, building the toughest systems on the market. From industry-leading alloys to uncompromising mounts, you will always Adventure with Confidence.
Crafted
Manufactured in Colorado with precision laser-cut 1/4" aluminum sideplates formed with CNC accuracy by Sherpa's team of professionals. They have created a very stout mounting structure, secured with stainless steel hardware, that will keep your gear where you need it. The mounting feet are the same 1/4 inch aluminum, which is why a short rack still carries 600 lbs static.
Adaptable
Sherpa knows the importance of mounting all of your goodies on your rig. With the PEAK Series, you have the ability to mount just about anything, anywhere. With slots and holes all over the rack, plus Sherpa's line of accessories, you will never find yourself wishing you could mount something. On a camper build that matters more than usual, since this is the only unclaimed mounting space left on the truck.
Durable
Strength is built into Sherpa's brand and the PEAK System is what they built their name on. Using the best in materials and hardware, you can beat on this system every weekend and trust it to show up to work on Monday. A truck with a bed camper tends to see long trips rather than short ones, and this rack is built for that. All backed by Sherpa's Lifetime Warranty.
Which Fairing Is Right for You?
Sherpa's full height fairing is built for people who do not want to put a light bar on their rack. The half height fairing is made so you can fit a single row light bar while keeping everything flush. Both cost the same, so this is purely a build decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which size do I need?
It depends on your camper, not your truck. The 48 inch fits a GFC camper and the 30 inch fits a Super Pacific, both on a Tundra CrewMax with a 5.5 foot bed. The 48 inch version also includes two adjustable pressure mounts, which the 30 inch does not. If you are unsure, call us at 844-200-3979 before ordering.
Where exactly does it mount?
In front of your bed camper, in the space between the cab and the camper body. That strip usually goes unused on a camper build, which is the whole point of this rack. It gives you a flat, reachable platform without loading the camper roof or the pop-top mechanism.
Does it require drilling?
Yes. The Bear Paw mounts using two 1/4 inch mounting feet with rivet attachments, which requires drilling and setting rivets. Sherpa recommends professional installation, since placement and sealing determine whether everything stays watertight. Download the guide for your size above before deciding whether to tackle it yourself.
Can I mount a solar panel on it?
Yes, and it is the most common use. Mounting a panel here keeps it off the camper roof and clear of the pop-top mechanism, while giving it an unobstructed forward-facing position. The crossbar slots take standard mounting hardware, and at 300 lbs dynamic there is plenty of rating left for boards and gear alongside it.
Will it fit my truck without a camper?
The Bear Paw is designed to sit in front of a bed camper, so it is not the right choice for a truck without one. If you want a cab rack for a 2007-2021 Tundra Double Cab, we carry the Sherpa Little Bear. Call us at 844-200-3979 with your cab and setup and we will point you to the right rack.
Which fairing should I choose?
Choose Full Height if you are not running a light bar, since it deflects the most air for the quietest ride. Choose Half Height if you want a single-row light bar to sit flush with the fairing line. Both cost the same. If a light bar is anywhere in your plans, Half Height saves you buying a second fairing later.
