    Thanks for taking the time to measure. My parts order is slowly coming together! Great suggestion about flipping the rack. Any other thoughts re slimline ver2 (2.16m) vs slimline ver1 (2.4m). I'm leaning more towards the full length 2.4m slimline1. I think the only difference between the two...

    Hi, any chance you could measure the highest point of your frontrunner from the roof. I'm looking at max 12cm clearance above roof in my basement carpark :( Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

    Roof rack or roof bars

    Good to know about the rhino bars. It's either gonna be 3x thule bars or the front runner bars i think. Full rack is very tempting however just discovered i have only 12cm clearance at the lowest point in my basement carpark. Had already expected to leave the RTT at the folks house but removing...

    Maggiolina tent mounting

    Hi Mike Could you advise if 2 frontrunner roof bars would be sufficient to support a grand tour on a gwagen merc? Also do you happen to know the height offset and width for bars mounted on top of RTT with the 'fix kit'. I'm hoping it's compatible with the lower bars Cheers Adrian

    Cheers, yeah it's a hard decision. Seeing as the full rack is a modular kit I suspect it should be possible to construct a simple 4 roof bar system from the parts. I might revert to this in the future and then use the spare parts to make a smaller rack for on top of the roof tent. Is that...

    How much clearance do you have under the rack? Im considering going with a lower profile look, with 15mm standoffs/feet. Obviously downside would be losing ability to store a folding table underneath against having a more streamlined appearance. Do you think the height of the frontrunner is...

    Roof rack or roof bars

    Cheers for info, was advised by frontrunner sales rep that maggiolina needed 3 bars. Unfortunately their roofbars come in packs of two. Thinking of going with full rack but with some slats removed to save on weight but still have the option to mount a side awning or rear ladder...

    Roof rack or roof bars

    Hi, Looking for advice. Have a maggiolina roof top tent and looking to mount it to my gwagon. I'm considering the frontrunner slim2 roof rack vs 4 roof bars. Hard to justify the cost of the full length rack when the tent takes up all the useable space! Here are some examples Roof bars...

    Great inspiring build! Putting together my own project. 82'W460 & Maggiolona grand tour. Any advice on mounting rtt? Either frontrunner roof bars (2 or 4?) vs the full frontrunner slim rack? Thinking the rack is overkill considering the rrt takes up the all the rack space? Any thoughts? Sent...
