Love that, such a simple straightforward solution for what I thought was going to be more complicated. Thanks guys!

@bv3bv334 Год назад

Excellent vid. Looks far better than fabricating the brackets out of uni strut. Been playing on mind forever , this one....👍

@our.van.adventures Год назад

Thanks, we were the same it is just a neater solution 👍🏼

@user-qe8uh1hg2q 9 месяцев назад

HI, It's great to see someone has figured out to provide a low-cost solution to something that could prove to be very expensive it you bought the after-market supplier products. One question though; where did you get the right angle brackets that attach the solar panel itself to the unistrut?

@our.van.adventures 9 месяцев назад

Hi thanks for the comment the 90 brackets are just unistrut corner brackets

@christophermccann117 Год назад

Just found your channel. Amazing job! Been trying to workout my solar panel fitment for ages. This is amazing and the way you show and explain is great. Can I ask where you got all the corner fitments for joining the unistut at the corners and the ones for across? Will be watching your other videos tomorrow. 😊

@our.van.adventures Год назад

Thank you! All of the Unistrut and parts were from direct channel, the corner ones are flat 90 degree plates and the centre ones are tee plates 👍

@christophermccann117 Год назад

@Our.van.adventures Sorry for late reply. Honestly you have solved me a v sore head with this info and video. I have been going back and forward trying to decide what to do with the roof rack and your video has made the decision for me. My van is the H3 version so not a lot on the market when it comes to low profile roof rack and your version hits the right buttons for me. I'm off to order the parts and thanks again. 😊

@goodnightberlin Год назад

How have the mounting brackets held up since you constructed it about a year ago? We're thinking of a similar design for our roof rack - surfboards and solar panels built around 2x air vents. Thanks for the video - very helpful!

@our.van.adventures Год назад

They are still solid, would still recommend them 👍

@grahamgraham1624 Год назад

How much clearance do you have under your Unistrut in the centre of your roof at the highest point of the camber please ??

@our.van.adventures Год назад

I will measure it on the weekend and get back to you 😀

@trevwilson9842 Год назад

Hi guys, great videos. What length M8 bolts did you use on your UniStrut Rack please ?

@our.van.adventures Год назад

Hi Trev think they were 25mm long 👍

@trevwilson9842 Год назад

@@our.van.adventures thank you, I ordered the Esty footings and set up the same roof rack system, absolutely perfect. Thanks again 👍🏻

@JWalka94 Год назад

Hi both, so happy i came across this video as im currently wanting to create my own for My Boxer conversion starting this year. Do you mind if i ask what depth, width etc rails you used? And if possible where you thought was best to pick them up from? Many thanks

@our.van.adventures Год назад

We used 40x20 Unistrut, we used 4m long ones for the sides and I think the cross bits were around 160cm 👍

@markcoates4887 Год назад

@@our.van.adventures could I ask where you sourced the roof brackets from and what they are called

@our.van.adventures Год назад

@@markcoates4887 they were from Etsy they are made by a company in turkey but they came within a week 👍 www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1145112929/

@Clitheroelad2906 6 месяцев назад

Hi Guys Love the channel and we are learning a lot whilst converting our van. Would you honestly say the brackets from Etsy work well and are worth the money. It's a minefield out there and it gets a bit overfacing. Kind regards Jonny

@our.van.adventures 6 месяцев назад

Hi Johnny we think they are worth the money we have had them on for around 18months and 12000 miles now and they are still as good as the day we put them on. It can be done with Unistrut or similar but we couldn’t justify the time.

@Meandmissy 7 месяцев назад

Where do you get those brackets that go on to those mushrooms on the van and those lengths of tubing thanks

@our.van.adventures 7 месяцев назад

The brackets are linked in the description and the rest is just Unistrut.

@gavj2257 Год назад

Hi! Great video! Cab I ask, did you use 1.5mm or 2.5mm channel?

@our.van.adventures Год назад

Hi Gav it is all 1.5 light duty to try and keep the weight down 👍

@gavj2257 Год назад

@our.van.adventures thanks for the info! Just finished making homemade brackets for our relay, so we can proceed with the frame now! Thanks for your help

@donkeyote318 23 дня назад

Hi what l shape and t brackets did you use thanks

@our.van.adventures 23 дня назад

They are just the standard two hole per side brackets for the L and T’s and the solar panels are held on with single hole 90’s.

@carlfielding2082 11 месяцев назад

What dimension strut did you guys use. Great video BTW! 👍

@our.van.adventures 11 месяцев назад

Thanks we used 21x41 light duty to keep the weight down 👍

They are 4m Unistrut channel from direct channel Uk, I then sprayed them black.
