Timestamps below. We bought a Ford Transit Hightop van and are converting it ourselves. My son, Zachary who is a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate, told me that we could create a van roof rack from extruded aluminum often called T-slot or 80/20. I liked that it was durable, versatile and easy to assemble without welding. I assumed that there may be people, myself included, that may not be real familiar with working with extruded aluminum. I needed someone to show me how to assemble t-slot so this video covers in detail how it works and how to put it together even if you are planning to use it for some other purpose. This non welded roof rack tutorial covers how to build an aluminum roof rack for a van with 720 watts of solar by Solaria! You can alter the length and width to fit your vehicle or your needs. I have learned a lot while making this video and I hope you do too. ~ Trisha Selgrath, Wander Wonders

UPDATE: Zachary has been too busy with his new job to fulfill orders so we are suspending that offer at this time. This is the site that inspired Zack. You may find other useful parts here too.
