I got their roof rack. It fits the contours of the roof better and any other maker on the market. I added a pair of supports and we have an additional 5’x6’ of space.
Just got their 36” cabinets and they fit the interior roof to wall contour perfectly.
Shipping was fast
Glad FVC finally came out with the surf pole for the Transit. It has been a great addition to my van. Install was relatively easy. The only thing in question was where to put it. After bringing out a couple surf boards, I decided to install it 3’ away from the ladder and it worked out great. The top mount that goes to the rack did attach a little crooked (compared to the lines on the low pro rack) even though it was level and even with the ladder. An easy tip for installing the top and making sure it’s nice and straight is to use a clamp so you can measure and adjust(picture attached).
Just installed these on my 2020 Transit and they are great. I have been waiting for FVC to come out with these along with the second bar and it was definitely worth the wait. The racks are very well built and install was super easy (I didn’t have to use the online instructions). The only issue I do have with them is that the radius of the clamps are a little smaller than the pipes that they fit on and they leave a crease on the pipe and remove any paint around them. I don’t plan on removing these, but if I do, I’ll have to touch up those spots. All in all, it’s a great addition.
For the bar install, I attached it 3’ away from the ladder. I also put the rack that goes on the ladder on the right side instead of the left to make it so a longboard will not be as close to the door.
Great product. Fit easily. Directions could have a bit more detail for dolts like me but no complaints!
My first mod besides phone holders. I used both the PDF and the video for installation. If you've ever assembled Ikea furniture you can do this job. I spent a lazy part of a day in late December and was surprised to get it all done before it got dark (I'll post pictures later).
The rack is solid and went together with no issues. It was important to me that my rack be aluminum (weight up high is not good). I'm not about lights and bling but I do want to be able to walk around on top of my van. The FVC Safari includes the decking, which is an add-on with all the others I looked at.
Super happy with FVC on this! Very likely to select their front bumper too.
PROS:
Very quick and easy to deploy and retract. Sleek aerodynamic design hugs the roofline. Waterproof UV and mold resistant material. Durable design and good build quality. 13'2" length provides a lot of coverage. The body mounted leg brackets are very useful on uneven terrain.
CONS:
Can't be used if there is ANY wind whatsoever, no matter how well you secure it with guy lines. Mounting brackets don't work on aftermarket roof rails. After pushing the awning all the way forward on the rails, it still barely covers the entire slider door opening.
This could not have went better.
As usual, FVC made the process easy. Product was as described. Item arrived when promised and quickly. I did not have any questions for them but from other times I have ordered from them and had questions, I was/am sure they would respond quickly and with answers/solutions. I am a FVC fan and will be a loyal customer and irritate everyone with how often I tell people about them. In the next few month I will be purchasing some of the new items they just released for the ProMaster and feel confident in the product and customer service.
Bought a roof rack and rear step. Shipped promptly but rear step was damaged in shipment. FVC sent a new step without delay and communication was perfect. Products are thoughtfully designed and quality built. I like working with FVC.
We love both our panels from FVC! Only minor situation we had, the online video instructions don't align with the instructions on the QR code placed in the box. So, we took our van into Overland WestCoast in Portland, OR for the install. Bryce and Rebecca sorted us out and got us on the road. I'd give a 10 if I could! Highly recommend them. We added a storage box and our roto pax to the mix. This elevated our camping experience with ease.
Got our storage box installed a couple days after receiving it and directly headed out camping on the orcas islands here in the PNW. Really enjoying the drop lid that you can use for cooking. I decided to use this box for my stoves, propane, cookware etc and it's perfect!
Great design, super easy installation, did it myself in a few hours, panels fit perfectly. Super happy with the rack, looks bad ass too!
Buy it you’ll be stoked. Throw all the soft goods up there. Solo install? Yeah.
Another great product….box is fantastic, mounting was super easy and looks the part. Can’t wait to use it on my next adventure
Must be the easiest thing I have ever installed on ANY vehicle. If you can apply a bumper sticker, you can install the FVCO Sprinter Nudge Bar. Shipped fast & securely packaged, the bar arrived in perfect condition. Nice engineering and execution, perfect welds and accurate fitment make this a purchase you can feel good about. It's lightweight so I do not worry about overloading my already heavy vehicle or adding suspension sag. I mostly bought this to hang some giant LED lights on to burn my way through the darkness. Zero disappointment, and just what I needed for my van.
Instal was easy and straight dorward it fitted nicley on my diy solar roof rack now I haveasy access to clean my Panels . The hardware supplied was high quality aswell.
Bought because of rack match, use weekly, do not obstruct mirror, nothing to complain so far
Took less than an hour to install and is very good quality. I'm looking forward to getting their tire carrier and a few other of their products soon
Overall one of the easiest to install combinations of rack and ladder, great flexibility out of the box integration of ‘wall mounting awning’
As a minus, decking cannot be adjusted after awning installed, awning should be wall mounting, not the roof rack mounted option.
No additional wind-noise, or change in fuels consumption.
Rack was shipped super fast, few bolts were defective, would recommend FLVC to label bolts in pack like A/B/C.
Overall good experience.
Our first step in building our Transit campervan was installing the Flatline rear door platform. The instructions were clear and we supplemented them with FaroutRide pictures. The templates made it clear where to drill and everything went smoothly.
