Westfalia Pop-Up Roof Rack

Westfalia Roof rack attach together the fiberglass pop top and it has rainfall drain clamps. It only fits the Vanagon Westfalia, see this page for traveler van roof racks. We came among this rack system because I had concern about putting everything more than the lightest load on the fiberglass roof of my Westfalia.

So, don't think the pop top was initially planned to carry things. You can use gutter build up roof racks but that way you have to take away the rack and everything on it to elevate the roof. With this rack structure you just have to eliminate the lower clamps, the rack (and your cargo) stays attach to the pop top.

• Racks have the power of channel mounts advantage you can still raise the pop top exclusive taking the racks off

• You can utilize only the rain drain clamps, you do not include to bolt to the pop top if you don't want to.
• For utmost power you can connect to both the pop top and use the drain clamps. The clamps will counter any lifting
• force on the pop top caused by wind next to your cargo, canoes for example.
• The Safari basket is sized to fit the westfalia, it clamps on top of the roof rack bars. One quantity welded formation is stronger than bolt
• jointly aluminum carriers. Weight is light at 18 lbs. Interior dimension is 44" wide X 31" long (front to back).
• All fastener are included and are stainless steel, nuts are stainless nylock type.
• Black Powder Coated finish
• Regular Westfalia roof racks will craft your van about 3" higher. I can make individual low profile racks which will formulate your van 2" higher.

Fuel Economy Benefit:

Driving More Efficiently:

Drive Sensibly:

Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.

Observe the Speed Limit

While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer.

Remove Excess Weight

Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2 percent. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.

Avoid Excessive Idling:

Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.

Use Cruise Control

Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.
