Volkswagen van racking — common questions
Choosing racking for a Volkswagen van — sizes, sides and how the kits fit.
Which Volkswagen vans does StowPro make racking for?
StowPro make van racking kits for the Volkswagen Crafter, Volkswagen Transporter and Volkswagen Caddy.
Each kit is built to that specific model and body length, and comes as an Offside, Nearside or Full Kit.
How do I choose the right racking for my Volkswagen van?
Pick your model, then your body length (the L-code on your V5C), then the side you want to rack — offside for the longest clear run, nearside around the side door, or a full kit for both.
Use the size guide to check your load length, then open your model below. Not sure of your exact Volkswagen model? Send us the reg and we'll confirm.
Are Volkswagen vans shared with other manufacturers?
Some are — for example the Volkswagen Crafter shares its body with the MAN TGE, so the racking is interchangeable.
That means a kit listed for one badge fits its twins as long as the body length and roof match.
Which Volkswagen van has the longest load area?
Of the Volkswagen vans we rack, the Volkswagen Crafter has the longest load area at 4,855 mm on its largest body.
The offside of that body takes a single continuous racking run, ideal for long materials.
Do you do offside, nearside and full racking kits for Volkswagen vans?
Yes — every Volkswagen kit comes three ways: Offside Only (driver's side, one long run), Nearside Only (worked around the side door) or a Full Kit for both walls.
Fit only the side you need to save cost and payload, or the full kit to convert the whole van.
