This roof rack is designed and made in NZ for Mercedes Sprinters, VW Crafters, panel vans, and motorhomes. With this purchase, you'll have a convenient location to store all your outdoor equipment—kayaks, canoes, surfboards, paddleboards, fishing gear, or a rowing boat.
This version is compatible with vehicles that already have a roof-mounted awning. If you don't have an awning yet, you can attach a wall-mount awning to the side of our standard roof rack using heavy-duty tubes.

Fitting method
Mercedes and VW Crafters had the same roof shape up until 2017, when VW started manufacturing the bodies in their own factory and made some minor changes that are not immediately noticeable; VW vehicles built after 2017 have a curved roof and require a different solution if in doubt, contact us
These roof racks spread the load over the entire side rails, preferably on the vehicle's side edge.
They are bonded to the roof, and stainless steel tech screws are sometimes used but only to anchor the roof rack in place while the urethane sets.
Our roof racks have become popular with motorhomes or camper vans constructed using standard commercial panel vans. We apply the same mounting method to the roofs of these vans with excellent results.
Vantage RV roof racks are capable of carrying heavy loads if the heavy-duty tube is used, with the added bonus of being able to fit a wall-mount awning to the side of the roof rack rail.
