2014 Ford Van Platform Rack Recommendation for RV Conversion
Question:
I purchased a 2014 Ford Van to convert to a small RV and I want to add a cargo platform rack so I have extra room for gear on the roof. What do you recommend? Do I need a crossbar system as well?

Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR43QX which will mount directly to the gutters on your 2014 Ford Van. This eliminates the need for a costly roof rack setup while also giving you less parts you have to mess with and make sure they are secure.
We also carry a variety of accessories for the Pioneer rack, and below is a list of some parts you might be interested in to help secure your cargo:
- Folding Ladder # RRRAFL
- 73" Long Ratchet Strap Kit # RR43175
- Cable Core Lockdown # RR43207
- Eye Bolt Kit # RR43178
