Keep the snow out of your plush van!
Living In Idaho, the winters are serious and the snow is plentiful. After building out our first Sprinter van and using it primarily to ski, we quickly realized an issue. The rooftop box was difficult to access (think ski boots on a ladder), and shoving skis inside left snow and water everywhere. This got us thinking; there’s plenty of space on the back of the van. Hitches, ladders, spare tires, van outfitter racks. And the idea was born! We started with a 4-pack hitch mount, then the two pack for van outfitter racks (Owl, Aluminess etc), and customers started asking us for several configurations for their individual needs. We customize!
The custom process:
To begin our design process, we work with our customers to understand their goals and vehicle application. After choosing the size and mounting strategy we will cut tubes, flat bar and begin to weld it together. Most of these racks are fully welded meaning they’re super durable and should never fail. After welding, we sand each rack by hand to ensure smoothness and quality. Then a color is picked, (normally black) and it’s sent off to powder coating. This is the final step before packaging and shipping.
