Tec Vanlife Modular Roof Rack, a true game-changer in the world of vanlife adventures. Developed over a span of 10 months, this roof rack is the epitome of strength, lightweight design, and unparalleled versatility.
The Tec Vanlife Modular Roof Rack stands out in the market, primarily due to its innovative use of custom ALUMINUM EXTRUSIONS. Unlike the conventional bent aluminum racks, which often compromise on strength at bending points, the aluminum extrusions used in this roof rack ensure superior structural integrity and resilience, offering unmatched durability and load capacity.
Each crossbar and sidewall of the rack is crafted from a single, continuous piece of aluminum, molded under high pressure to create a uniform, robust profile that is impossible to achieve with bent aluminum. This results in a rack system that not only has a higher load-bearing capacity but also maintains its structural integrity under diverse and challenging conditions, making it ideal for the rugged demands of camper van travel.

Roof rails are required to install this roof rack. If your van does not come with factory roof rails, you can purchase the roof rails together with the roof rack at a combo price.
Ignoring the following warnings may result in the rack detaching from the vehicle, leading to serious injury or death. Ensure you do not exceed the maximum load limit specified by the vehicle manufacturer and use all available attachment points on the van roof. Inspect and tighten all hardware after the first 100 miles and every 600 miles thereafter. Check the overall integrity of the rack every 600 miles or monthly, whichever occurs first. If you are unsure, submit rack plans or photos to info@tecvan.co for evaluation before final installation or use. The van owner and/or installer assumes all risks associated with rooftop-mounted items and/or components.
