SportRack makes a fairly universal fit rack for pop-up campers:

Attaches to the roof edge, so distributes the weight to the sidewalls with the lid down. Space the bars appropriately for your roof-top carriers and you are set.

Your pup has an ABS roof - one of the better ones out there. Personally I would be hesitant to drill any additional holes in that roof. I don’t know how they filled the space between the roof and ceiling, but I think hey have a basic frame to support the A/C mount, and lots of injection foam insulation.

I put a roof pod on my SUV instead, and find I get way more use out of it there anyway.

I had that exact rack on my popup. It attached to the rails on the edge of the roof with no drilling. That said, my unit was from 2013, and I don't know if they had rails when yours was made.

I used my rack for 4 bikes, but considered a pod. Make sure the pod is totally empty before trying to lift the roof. The lift system has a weight limit on it.
