Dometic and Front Runner have joined forces to create a versatile new roof rack system built specifically for camper vans. The new Slimpro Van Rack features the high-quality construction and design that you would expect from these two brands while offering a high level of customizability without adding excess bulk or weight.
Flexibility is the name of the game with the Slimpro Van Rack. The unit features a highly adjustable slat system, with both high and low profile configurations that allow it to adjust to varying roof heights. The individual slats also move independently of one another, easily accommodating roof-mounted air conditioning systems, vents, and skylights. Despite this level of configurability, the Slimpro maintains plenty of rigidity for securely holding its cargo in place.

Front Runner’s extensive line of roof rack accessories expands the Slimpro’s functionality beyond just carrying cargo. The company offers a variety of add-ons that make hauling bikes, kayaks, and other gear much easier. The rack can also be outfitted with side rails to create a basket-style carrier or converted for use in a professional capacity, carrying pipes, tools, and other equipment.
The Slimpro has a sleek and discreet profile and features an adjustable foot rail that allows it to fit on a variety of vehicles. Front Runner and Dometic say it is compatible with the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, and Ram Pro Master models. It also fits the Citroen Jumper, Fiat Ducato, and Peugeot Boxer for #vanlifers outside the US. The lightweight, all-aluminum rack is also 30% lighter than steel, which helps limit its impact on a vehicle’s gas mileage.
