Building a solar panel rack from UNISTRUT in our VW Crafter

Power! We all need it. In this video, we build and install a solar panel rack for our 2021 VW Crafter. Made from Unistrut, this rack holds over 1080 watts of solar across five panels. In this video, we take you through constructing the rack, spray painting it, preparing the van for install, getting it in, and affixing the solar panels.

If you want to download our plans for this roof rack, you can access it from our website.

We are a couple from New Zealand who love travelling and never want to stop. We have traveled to nearly 50 countries together and are adjusting our travel plans due to Covid. Watch out world, we are about to start converting a 2021 VW Crafter to travel around NZ and, eventually, the globe.
