Get this New Zealand-made Motorhome roof rack for the long wheelbase (lightweight version) for the Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Fiat Ducato, and Renault Master panel vans or motorhomes. With this roof rack, you'll have convenient storage space for your kayaks, canoes, surfboards, paddleboards, fishing gear, or rowing boats.
This version is designed for vehicles without a roof mount awning; if you already have a van with a roof mount awning, you must buy the VRV-MercRRA, which mounts behind the roof mount awning. (as seen on the orange vehicle)
Mercedes and VW Crafters had the same roof shape up until 2017, when VW started manufacturing the bodies in their 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 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 heavy-duty racks can carry heavy loads. As an added bonus, we can fit a wall-mount awning to the side of the roof rack rail.
Please note that this version has the lightweight tubes and cannot carry heavy weights or have an awing mounted to the side of the rack.
