Roof Racks for Camper Vans

More space. More possibilities. More adventure.
A roof rack adds a whole new level of storage to your camper—space for gear, sports equipment, or technical accessories, without taking up any living space. Whether it’s compact crossbars or a full-length roof platform: We develop the right solution for every vehicle, from the VW T6 to the Ford Transit and Fiat Ducato to the Sprinter. We install systems from established manufacturers such as Dutch Van Parts or ND-Rack and integrate them seamlessly into the overall design of your van.

A roof rack carries much more than just luggage: awnings, auxiliary headlights, roof tents, solar panels, and mud flaps all find their place here. An optional rear ladder provides safe access to the roof—whether as a loading area or an elevated vantage point while on the road.

Enclosed Roof Platform

A closed roof platform offers significantly more possibilities than traditional crossbars. As a full-fledged roof rack, it provides a stable, walkable surface for loading, working, or enjoying the view. At the same time, it distributes loads evenly and protects the vehicle’s roof from damage caused by equipment or frequent foot traffic—whether on a Sprinter, VW Crafter, or Iveco Daily. From solar panels to roof tents to storage boxes: The platform provides the ideal foundation for nearly any upgrade to your campervan.

Walk-on Roof Platforms

A closed roof platform creates a stable work and living space on your camper. Unlike an open roof rack with individual crossbars, it makes maintenance work and loading the vehicle noticeably easier—and offers an exceptional spot with a view while on the road. At the same time, the enclosed surface protects the vehicle’s roof and distributes loads evenly across the entire structure. Whether on a MAN TGE, Ford Custom, or VW T7, the platform makes the roof a fully integrated part of your camper conversion.

Perimeter Railing

The wraparound rail makes the roof rack even more versatile and safer. It serves as a fall protection barrier when walking on the platform, prevents transported equipment from sliding, and provides numerous attachment points for tie-down straps, rescue boards, or other equipment. In addition, additional accessories such as awnings or mounts can be flexibly attached to the railing—from the compact Ford Tourneo to the large Fiat Ducato. The result is a well-designed, integrated system that combines functionality and safety.

Mounts for auxiliary lighting

Many roof racks offer the option of integrating auxiliary lights directly into the structure. This ensures the lights are optimally protected and blend harmoniously into the vehicle’s design—whether on a VW T5 or a Ford Transit. The cables can be routed so they’re virtually invisible, creating a particularly high-quality appearance. We’ll work with you to plan the right lighting solution, from high-performance long-range headlights to work lights or area lighting—of course, taking into account all legal requirements and the intended use.

What Customers Say About Us

Why the Choice of Roof Rack Shapes Everyday Life in a Camper

On long trips in particular, every centimeter of storage space counts. A high-quality roof rack creates extra space exactly where it’s most useful—outside the living area. Bulky gear, sports equipment, or expedition gear travel safely on the roof, while the interior remains tidy and comfortable.

At the same time, a professional roof rack protects the vehicle’s roof from damage caused by cargo or frequent foot traffic. Modern platforms from manufacturers like Rover Vans or Rolling Space allow you to walk safely on the roof, opening up a whole new range of uses: for taking photos, watching the sunset, or simply as an additional living space. This expands your vehicle’s functionality beyond its original capabilities.

Roof Racks for Camper Vans: What to Look for When Choosing One

Not every roof rack is suitable for every vehicle or every trip. The key factors are the vehicle model, roof shape, load capacity, planned add-ons, and intended use. While some travelers simply want to mount solar panels and an awning, others need a walk-on platform for a rooftop tent, spare tire, or recovery equipment. The length of the roof also makes a difference: A compact VW T6 has different requirements than a long-wheelbase panel van.

Vehicle height, garage driveways, and total weight also play an important role as early as the planning phase—after all, the roof rack must be compatible with the permissible roof load. That’s why we develop each roof system individually, tailored to your vehicle and your personal needs, rather than relying on off-the-shelf solutions.

Roof racks that fit the roof layout

Every camper has a unique roof layout with skylights, vents, solar panels, air conditioning, or a roof access hatch planned for a later date. That’s why we design each roof rack to fit your vehicle perfectly. We take existing components into account and integrate them seamlessly into the design, ensuring that maintenance, operation, and accessibility are maintained at all times. Rear ladders, awnings, or future additions are also factored into the planning from the very beginning. The result is a system that not only fits perfectly today but also grows with your needs over the long term.

The perfect base for your roof tent

A high-quality roof rack provides the ideal foundation for safely mounting a roof tent. Load capacity, load distribution, and the correct mounting points play a crucial role—after all, the structure needs to hold up reliably even in wind and weather. We select the right system tailored to your vehicle, roof tent, and intended use, and handle the professional installation. This creates a stable platform that performs even on challenging trips and offers you a comfortable place to sleep with the best view.

Platform for Antennas and Reception Technology

The vehicle roof is the ideal mounting location for modern antenna and reception systems. Whether it’s a cellular antenna, Wi-Fi receiver, Starlink, or CB radio—a roof rack provides stable, protected mounting points and ample space for neat cable routing. We take the optimal positioning of these components into account right from the planning stage to ensure that reception quality, accessibility, and future upgrades work together as effectively as possible. It’s also important to maintain a clear distance from solar panels or other structures that could interfere with the signal. This way, your camper stays reliably connected even far from civilization.

Additional lighting was taken into account from the very beginning

In the off-road and adventure sectors, the roof rack takes on another role: it carries the auxiliary lighting. Some systems come factory-equipped for this purpose—the Camp 3 Roof Rack from Sequoia, for example, can accommodate up to seven Lazer Lamps Sentinel 7″ Elite Black lights in its front section, while Rover Vans Gear includes a mounting point for LED light bars in the front panel. We often combine these with Strands Siberia XP light bars or Firefly LED bars from our lighting partner. Early planning is crucial: if you wait to mount the lights later, you won’t be able to achieve clean cable routing.

Manufacturers at a Glance

Dutch Van Parts

Across Europe, Dutch Van Parts is one of the best-known manufacturers of high-quality campervan accessories. Every roof rack in the Dutch lineup impresses with its modern design, high stability, and perfectly coordinated accessories—from the roof rails to the rear ladder, everything is designed as a cohesive whole. Especially for the Mercedes Sprinter and VW Crafter, the product line offers versatile options for installing awnings, auxiliary lighting, solar systems, and roof tents. We install these systems regularly and know the details that matter most during installation.

ND rack

ND-Rack develops high-quality aluminum roof rack systems specifically for modern campervans and expedition vehicles. The modular platforms combine low weight with high load-bearing capacity—an advantage that directly increases the usable payload. Numerous mounting points accommodate accessories ranging from sand plates to solar panels, and thanks to the modular design, every roof rack can be expanded or retrofitted later. Together with us, this results in customized roof solutions for everyday use, travel, and off-road adventures that fit your vehicle perfectly.

Rover Vans Gear

With a clear focus on off-road travel and overlanding, Rover Vans Gear designs lightweight aluminum roof racks. Each roof rack is designed to withstand harsh conditions: corrugated dirt roads, dust, and constant stress are no match for these systems, nor are fully loaded trips carrying expedition gear, solar panels, or a rooftop tent. Despite their rugged construction, nothing looks clunky—the modern design blends harmoniously into the overall look of high-quality camper vans. We’ve already mentioned the pre-installed mounting for LED light bars in the front panel elsewhere; this feature makes the platforms particularly appealing to long-distance travelers.

Rolling Space

Rolling Space develops roof rack systems for high-performance travel vehicles and expeditions that are designed for long-distance travel and heavy loads. What sets the product line apart is the wide range of accessory solutions: From holders for spare fuel cans to storage bins and toolboxes, each roof rack can be customized step by step to fit your specific travel plans. This way, the system grows with you—from your first tour of Europe to a long-distance trip lasting several months. When configuring your system, we’ll advise you on which combination makes the most sense for your vehicle, route, and luggage.

How VANME Designs Your Roof Rack

Every project starts right here on our website with your no-obligation inquiry. We’ll then discuss your vehicle model, your travel habits, and how you plan to use the roof. During this discussion, we’ll determine the load your roof rack needs to support and which components will be installed later—such as solar panels, auxiliary lights, roof tents, or awnings.

We then assess your vehicle’s technical specifications and select the appropriate roof rack. Even at this early stage, we take into account future upgrades, necessary cable routing, and optimal weight distribution. Installation is performed professionally and includes all mounting components. Upon request, we’ll also handle the electrical integration of lighting and solar technology, as well as any required TÜV inspections—ensuring that your vehicle matches your travel style perfectly, both technically and visually.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Racks

Which roof racks fit my campervan?

That depends on the vehicle model, the roof layout, and the intended use. There are suitable crossbars or complete roof platforms available for nearly all common panel vans—from the VW T6 to the Mercedes Sprinter.

How much weight can be carried on a roof rack?

Two factors are key: your vehicle’s maximum roof load capacity and the load capacity of the specific system. Both must be considered together—the lower of the two values sets the limit.

Can I walk on a roof deck?

Many high-quality platforms are walk-on and specifically designed for that purpose. A suitable rear ladder makes safe access much easier.

Can I install solar panels, an awning, and auxiliary headlights at the same time?

Yes. Modern systems have a modular design and allow for the simultaneous installation of various components, provided there is sufficient space and load-bearing capacity.

Do I need to register a roof rack?

Many systems have the necessary certifications or are exempt from registration. If additional components are installed or technical modifications are made, we review the legal requirements and, if necessary, handle the TÜV inspection.

Does a roof rack increase the vehicle's height?

Yes, depending on the system, usually by a few centimeters. We already take this into account during the planning phase—especially when garages, ferries, or height restrictions are a factor.
