In this final part of the Fiamma Trilogy I fit the Fiamma Roof Rack system to our Fiat Ducato Campervan. The main reason for fitting this roof rack is so we can install more solar panels on the roof and also to allow us to fit some storage boxes too hopefully.

HI Jon , yet again a great easy to understand step by step guide, your MH / Camper has great upgrades , bet you can't wait to get on the road trip

You could put 3000 watt solar roof deck up on the roof which would could power just about everything and or a drone landing dock so that Amazon could deliver More beer by drone when camping completely off grid but now the roof rack is there it gives you so many options even a couple of mini wind turbines etc

Good work. Also love how impeccably clean you keep your van including the roof! 😊

I just figure cleaning is a good way of uncovering potential issues and also helps prevent them too 👍🏼

Completely agree. I’ll be honest, I enjoy cleaning both my car and caravan. It’s a pride thing for me.

Hi John, great vid and information, thanks for sharing. I also note you got the money shoot of you standing on the Fiamma ladder cheers for that. Also at 6min 20sec it looks though you have grown an extra hand form you nether region ;> Best wishes.

Thanks for video I done it this way the weekend. Can you tell me what size self tapping screws I need as I forgot to measure them before fixing

@peem1244 4 жыл бұрын

Hi John, Mandy, Coop. Hope you are all well. I really like the way Fiamma uses extruded alloy to build a system of racking, very clever. I like your upgrades but i think i'd prefer a stowable ladder. I was wondering if you could get a flexible portable solar panel which would fit inside the front windscreen when you're parked up? Van's looking super. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍🖖🐶🦴

Thanks, the portable solar panel is featured in my recent video about battery upgrades.

How long before John or date buys a trailer for their campervans? Just seen a vlog on the Momentum 397th It has a kitchen island and two bathrooms and electrically raised bed and loads of gadgets on it You could put a settee and chairs or full sized hammock or a planning room up on the roof

hi John when fitting the side with the awning which part of the bracket does the sikaflex go front or back also which sikaflex would be best thanks

@danielleclifton1733 3 жыл бұрын

Great video! I'm trying to get a roof rack fixed without spending an insane amount of money, they only thing I really need is the little bracket that sits over the little lug nuts "'nodule' if you like". Does anyone know If there is anywhere I can buy just a set of them?

@martinbos9201 4 жыл бұрын

Dear John, I've been looking at your videos for several months, especially the DIY for improving your camper van. Keep up the good work in sharing your knowledge. I have an additional question. Do you experience any negative effects of installing a roof rack, for example, extra wind noise? Greetings

@johnmandy 4 жыл бұрын

No wind noise at all.

Thank you for making this video John - I have been looking for something similar for a Fiat MH2 camper van. Can you give me a rough idea how far proud the cross bars sit from the top of the roof ie. what is the gap from the top of the roof to the bottom of the cross bars? Also, can you buy more of the moveable cross bars from Fiamma? Many thanks - Ian

@johnmandy 2 жыл бұрын

We don’t have this van any more, you should be able to guess the gap from the video though.

John can I ask - can the cross rails be moved or are they in fixed position? I say as I've got roof fan and rooflights installed already and wondering if they'll fit

@johnmandy 3 жыл бұрын

Yes they can, just loosen the end bar screws and move the rails along.
