Fitting method
Our roof racks were initially designed for motorhomes and caravans made from lightweight products such as foam aluminum or fiberglass composite boards. These body designs are not suited to dealing with the point loads exerted by the pads of traditional roof racks.
Our roof racks spread the load over the entire length of the side rails, preferably on the side edge of the vehicle where the wall and roof meet and where the manufacturers use high-density foams to strengthen the edges. The side rails are bonded in situ using high-quality modern urethane products similar to those used for constructing 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 have become very 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 racks can carry heavy loads if the heavy-duty tube is used. As an added bonus, we can fit a wall-mount awning to the side of the roof rack rail.
