Recommended Roof Rack and Platform Tray for 2010 Chevy Express Van

Question:

I am looking for a way to fit more things on the roof of my Chevy Express van. I have two 100w solar panels and two vent fans 8 inch dia from Maxx air. I want to put a black RV water tank you have online on top to heat water in the sun, what basket or racking system will safely holding the tank in place? I think I like the Rhino vortex gutter roof racks due to all the available accessories but can be easily persuaded to a different system. It looks like the Rhino Pioneer rack is an option with the Rhino vortex. Not sure how I would mount the tank without corner brackets. Also the space that is left is about 36 x 40 I think the smallest rack or basket is 44 to 47 https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Roof_Basket.aspx?msclkid=75af0ac27e551d06e41269c3b46aec94andutm_source=bingandutm_medium=cpcandutm_campaign=Bing207C20Search20-20Roof20Basketandutm_term=roof20basketandutm_content=Roof20Basket20-20General https://www.etrailer.com/Roof-Rack/Rhino-Rack/RR42114BF.html

The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA165B-2, part # RRRL150GMC-2, and part # RRVA-FK1-2 is a confirmed fit for a 2010 Chevrolet Express Van. It can then be used with the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars part # RR42114BF. For mounting a large tank to the Pioneer, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Cargo Corner Bracket Kit part # RR42FJ.
