Roof Rack

broken image

Maybe the 1/2 inch clearance isn't enough for clearance. I like in Santa Barbara where it's cooler so maybe it doesn't matter.

If I had to do it all over again and had the money, I would go with buying the Oriion Promaster Stealth Roof Rack for $2599

Also had a mishap at Death Valley where the wind blew - more info here later.

Here are the specification of what's on the roof:

  • Homemade roofrack
  • 2 Maxxair Fan,
  • 3 200 Watts Rich Solar Panel.
  • Unaka Windfairing
  • 2 Single Hole Junction Box Waterproof ABS Roof Cable Entry Gland for Solar Panels
  • US Black Car Seal Under Front Windshield Panel Sealed Trim Moulding Strip Rubber to tape underneath the Unaka Wind Fairing
  • Metal Strut
  • Vantech Promaster Roof Rack Mounting Brackets

Unaka Windfairing: Finish off your 8020 or Unistrut roof rack with a Ram Promaster Specific Wind Fairing. The Unaka Ram Promaster Wind Fairing will help reduce wind noise and wind drag on your rack. This wind fairing comes with a form fitted custom designed wind fairing specifically for Ram Promaster vans. The wind fairing is CNC machined out of two pieces of sleek 0.22″ thick black acrylic plastic for a clean finish. Each wind fairing comes with 5 engineered mounting brackets laser cut and formed out of x 3/16″ thick 5052 aluminum. After manufacturing these brackets are powder coated for extra corrosion resistance. These mounting brackets are stout so that they will hold your wind fairing in place so that it deflects the wind instead of being deflected and rattling around.
