Get this New Zealand-made Motorhome roof rack for the long wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter and VW Crafter panel vans. It provides convenient storage space for kayaks, canoes, surfboards, paddleboards, fishing gear, or rowing boats.
The images are examples of previous installations, and may not be the same as what you want.
This version is designed for vehicles without a roof mount awning; if you already have a van with a roof mount awning, you should buy the VRV-MercRRA.
Mercedes and VW Crafters had the same roof shape until 2017, when VW started manufacturing the bodies in its 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.

Fitting method
Our roof racks spread the load over the entire length of the side rails, which are bonded in situ using high-quality modern urethane products similar to those used to construct motorhome bodies.
Stainless steel tech screws are sometimes used, but only to anchor the roof rack in place while the urethane sets.
Our roof racks are popular with motorhomes or camper vans constructed within standard commercial panel vans. We apply the same mounting method to the roofs of these vans with excellent results.
Our heavy-duty racks can carry heavy loads. As a bonus, we can fit a wall-mount awning to the side of the roof rack rail.
Special orders: This example shows the roof rack with a walkway fitted, not included in this product. If you want something different, let us know. Our innovative team will, no doubt, come up with a solution.
