A Ford Transit High Roof Rack is an exterior product that allows for solar panels, roof storage, and other added use for your campervan. In this guide, we will discuss why a roof rack is useful and answer commonly asked questions about roof racks for vans.
Why Should I Spend the Money on a Roof Rack?
A Ford Transit roof rack is essential for the adventure van experience. A standard cargo van has limited space, so utilizing the roof for storage or solar power is ideal during a journey. However, it is unsafe to mount solar panels and gear boxes directly onto the factory roof. Roof racks are designed to use factory mounting points and provide the necessary support to safely utilize the roof of your campervan. Also, they add an undeniable style that instantly transforms a campervan to an adventure van.
How Much Weight Can You Put on a Van Roof Rack?
Transit vans have a roof weight capacity around 330 pounds. A lightweight durable roof rack for the Ford Transit is helpful in limiting roof capacity and increasing functionality. You want to make sure to load your Ford Transit roof rack carefully. Our Ford Transit roof rack is made of lightweight powder-coated aluminum to limit the added stress to your Transit's factory roof.
Does My Roof Rack Work on Any Van?
Not necessarily. You can put a roof rack on any van. If you purchase a roof rack make sure that it matches the vehicle make and model to ensure its compatibility. We provide various roof racks to serve different models and styles of campervans for this reason.
What is the Roof Height of a High Roof Transit with a Roof Rack?
Roof racks add an additional height of about 2-4". A High Roof Transit van is 9'2", so with a roof rack added your van is 9'4" to 9'6" tall. Either way you are no longer drive-thru compatible.
