Hey Edgar! Do you have tracks on the roof of your 2003 Eurovan? If you don't, you can add one of the following:
- 55" Long: Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount # RTC14
- 63" Long: Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount # RTC16
- 71" Long: Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount # RTC18
If you already have tracks, or if you add one of the sets of tracks above, you can use the Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty Roof Rack for Tracks # RR26BP. This roof rack will allow you to use the tent on your Eurovan. You can't go off of the listed capacity for these roof racks since they only ever list the dynamic capacity. Static remains unlisted, so follow the guidelines from the tent. You also need to make sure the roof of the van can hold the weight.
Where are you headed once you get the roof rack and tent installed?
