Expertly crafted and tailored for use with Mercedes Sprinter or VW Crafter panel vans or motorhomes in New Zealand, this roof rack provides a practical solution for storing kayaks, canoes, surfboards, paddleboards, fishing gear, or a rowing boat.

NOTE: The images shown on this page are examples of different versions mainly fitted on the long-wheelbase vans 

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

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 are popular with motorhomes or camper vans constructed as 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.  

Shipping is calculated at checkout, Large items like fridges are shipped to your nearest Mainfreight depot to keep costs down, smaller items are shipped with Posthaste and calculated based on your postal code.

Hi Guys, you sorted out a new system for me a few months ago & I
wanted to let you know that its all worked brilliantly, from
incorporating it into what I already had, to how well its been working
since setup. I realise that it would have been difficult for you guys to
make something that fitted long distance & working off pics but you did
really well & I'm chuffed. It was exactly what I needed. So many thanks.

Many thanks to you and your team for a great job.

After a few hours at Vantage RV our motorhome is a lot quieter on the road.

We had a snag list and a wish list, from the outset Johan went through and explained how the faults would be fixed he also explained the pitfalls of our wish list.

He had a vast knowledge and was happy to share that with us and help us in our first year as motorhome owners.

Alec got on with the job and attended to the faults...result all fixed and better than new.


Great to have a courtesy car to visit surrounding beaches and let you get on with it. Thanks again for a great job.

You were recommended by Brian from GIC.

Harry and Johan were a pleasure to deal with.

Very knowledgeable indeed and carried out top-notch workmanship to our van.

Providing a quote was very helpful. First, they replaced the floor, sorted out the plumbing and replaced the boiler.

The second visit the shower floor was replaced, new shower tray fitted, repaired grey water tanks, all new LED's.

Sorry to bore you but the list was endless. Excellent service 😊

Wow thank you.

I’m super happy with the service and knowledge we’ve received from you.

And the amount of the invoice is a really nice surprise.

I’ll be sure to use you for everything in the future, I’m a very happy customer!

I don’t think I’ve got time to come up today so I’ll probably pick up tomorrow if that’s ok.

I purchased equipment for my van conversion from Vantage and found their prices to be extremely competitive, and their technical knowledge to be top-notch. They also performed the Self-Containment inspection for me.

As they do top work, they are quite busy, so best to plan in advance when you want to schedule something, or simply order parts online.

Huge thanks to Harry for his expert advice and willingness to entertain all of my questions, and to Antoinette for handling the parts orders and coordination for my inspection!

We have been Motorhoming and NZMCA members for 25+ years. Whilst we have dealt with some good companies over this time and lovely people, we would say without question that Vantage would be #1. Having had a new van built 23 years ago the time came to replace our water heater. The service we received from Vantage was amazing and lead to further work including replacing other appliances and refurbishments. The work was done to a very high standard. In all our dealings with Vantage, the service has been impeccable, prompt and their communication with us was great. Their quotes are detailed and accurate. Janice is at the forefront and has been wonderful to us both. Johan goes out of his way to help despite being incredibly busy. With his amazing craftsmanship and knowledge, he comes up with solutions that at times required thinking 'outside the square'. His advice instills confidence to make an informed decision. Thank you to Harry and your team. As retirees, we can honestly say that your hard work, ethics, and values shine out in this day-and-age. 😊 Philip and Patsy Bates
