Why this rack?
Unlike conventional bent aluminum racks which often compromise on strength at bending points, the aluminum extrusions used in this roof rack ensure superior structural integrity and resilience, offering unmatched durability and load capacity.
Each crossbar and sidewall of the rack is crafted from a single, continuous piece of aluminum, molded under high pressure to create a uniform, robust profile that is impossible to achieve with bent aluminum. This results in a rack system that not only has a higher load-bearing capacity but also maintains its structural integrity under diverse and challenging conditions, making it ideal for the rugged demands of camper van travel.
What also makes our roof rack stand out is our attention to detail. We purposely left a gap between the fairing and the van body. When driving on the highway, this gap allows turbulence created by air hitting the van body to escape, improving aerodynamic efficiency. Additionally, the gap allows more airflow under your solar panels, which helps cool them. Plus, our aluminum extrusion approach for the side wall further reduces weight, as we laser cut more openings in the side wall to increase airflow. This is extremely important because, while your vehicle is parked, these openings significantly improve airflow and heat dissipation under your solar panels.
Strength, Lightness, and Versatility - Engineered to Excel: Thanks to our proprietary custom aluminum extrusion, we've achieved the perfect trifecta of strength, lightness, and versatility. The cross bars can be moved to work around your roof fans & A/C units. To maximize rack versatility, we add our favorite components: our Tec Vanlife Decking System for Modular Roof Racks. Our decking system allows custom configuration of walk-on panels that are also designed for L-Track fasten-down adapters or conventional bolting. The result is a roof rack that delivers the utmost performance - strong, light & versatile.
Note: For installing the Fiamma awning, you do need to drill additional holes on the side wall.
Roof rails are required to install this roof rack. If your van does not come with factory roof rails, you can purchase the roof rails together with the roof rack at a combo price.
WARNING!
Ignoring the following warnings may result in the rack detaching from the vehicle, leading to serious injury or death.
- Ensure you do not exceed the maximum load limit specified by the vehicle manufacturer and use all available attachment points on the van roof.
- Inspect and tighten all hardware after the first 100 miles and every 600 miles thereafter.
- Check the overall integrity of the rack every 600 miles or monthly, whichever occurs first.
- If you are unsure, submit rack plans or photos to info@tecvan.co for evaluation before final installation or use.
- The van owner and/or installer assumes all risks associated with rooftop-mounted items and/or components.
