James and Sarah here, back with another episode in our Sprinter van conversion series. This week we’re up on the roof installing our DIY Sprinter roof rack and solar panel mounts.

As with most things during our van build, it took us a while to figure out how to build a DIY unistrut roof rack. But once we had all the parts, it was relatively quick and straightforward to put together.

Our camper van solar mounting system is simple, sturdy and inexpensive. And while designed for a Mercedes Sprinter van, there’s no reason the same setup wouldn’t work for any flat roof van with lengthways channels running down each side.

Hopefully we can save you a lot of time and money with the information in this homemade roof rack blog video.

There’s also a blog post on our website about which goes into more detail. Click here: https://thewholeworldornothing.com/di...
