Van life will not be complete without a roof rack. The roof of your van conversion is just too much real estate to not use. Dodge ProMaster, Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit camper vans all have large spaces on the roof that provide needed storage. Clearly the roof is a great place for your van solar panel array. Renogy solar panels, Allpowers solar panels or those made by SereneLife or ECO-Worth can all be mounted on the van roof during the conversion. Some folks will also add storage units. The options here are endless - Copsrew, Oasser, RoofBag, Thule and P.I. Auto all manufacture great additional storage units to mount on the van roof.
The challenge is what you attach these things to. That’s where the road get a bit windy. The van conversion after market for roof racks often looks more like a swamp than a pasture. There many options for ready made van roof racks. New Line, Dometic, Front Runner, Ranger Design, Maxxhaul, Letech, Prime Design are all manufacturers of quality roof racks. Any one of which would function well and do a great job. What many people don’t realize is that the rack and what holds that rack to the van roof are not always sold together.
For our van build it was a question of cost and practical need. We wanted the rack to hold our Renogy solar panels for sure and possible some kind of awing some day. 3 - 100 watt solar panels cost $ 300.00. The idea that we had to spend five or six times that much just getting something to hold them seemed ridiculous. And so we designed and are happy to share these details about the project.
