Customer photo review of Ford Transit Roof Rack – Premium Light Bar - 148" EXT High Roof

Alainnah

After researching and comparing different roof racks for what feels like ten years I finally went with Unaka and I’m so SO glad I did. The installation process was so incredibly smooth. My partner and I said multiple times throughout the process “it feels like things are going too smooth,” but it was truly just that easy! The quality of the parts look and feel great. I am excited to continue purchase more accessories for my roof racks now!

It took about 4 hours to install the rack with two people. Adding solar was simple too. I’ve driven nearly 4000 miles and it’s doing just fine. I’m very happy.

Jeff

I was impressed with everything, the communications, the precision build and design.. The packing of the rack in custom curt dense foam, everything had its place. Easy install, the rack,p and the Rich solar panels. Bottom line it looks great. Well worth the money in my opinion!

The team at UNAKA bailed us out! They helped us track down an awning that another vendor failed to deliver on time. They also were able to expedite a roof rack for us.

Customer photo review of Pre-Order | Rear Ladder System - Tire Carrier

Ted

Great product I love how you can easily put them together. Wish there were video instructions. Second, the price was a little high. I would have like to see a bundle option, buy more, pay less, at least 10%. Lastly, have an option to buy additional items in the kit. I would like to add to of the post included in the tire kit to put my box on. I don't want to buy a tire kit, just for the posts. I would also add a way to add a Rotopax to the tire carrier stud.

Customer photo review of MERCEDES SPRINTER ROOF RACK + AWNING BUNDLE - SAVE 10%

Jeremy

Top Notch! Top Notch! We purchased the Roof Rack & Awning Bundle for our 2023 Sprinter (170). The product AND customer support was excellent. I used 5 of the ECO-WORTHY 200W Watt Mono Solar Panels (length of this panel was ideal for the rack). I had to order some extra cross members and fasteners due the quantity of solar panels I used and (not pictured) we have a Starlink antenna too - the customer support I received when needing additional parts was quick and my addl' parts were shipped and...

Customer photo review of Thru Axle Fork Mount

Boris

I purchased 3 of these. I was originally debating between this mount and the Freedom Coast -- but ultimately what sold me on this was the ability to turn the bars so I can fit not just 2, but 4(!) bikes into the back of my van without even having to loosen the stems to turn the bars. Another huge advantage is the snug fit of the 15mm axle inserts vs having to have different adapters/endcaps for each axle type. These mounts come with all the fittings for m mtb, gravel and kids' bikes needs! Great...

Customer photo review of UNAKA - ACRYLIC WIND FAIRING

Austin

Easy install and you can’t beat the price. This worked perfectly and got rid of the wind noise & vibrations coming from our 8020 roof rack. Would highly recommend to anyone who has a DYI roof rack or similar type and wants to save several hundred dollars!

Customer photo review of Transit Side Mount Ladder V2 - High Roof

Chase

Love my Unaka gear! I Started with fork mounts. Now I have a full roof rack & ladder. Customer service has been amazing. I’ve spoken to the team personally on the phone a few times and they’ve helped walk me through a few hiccups, being one of the first customers with the new side ladder. Quality is great and installation is easy.

Customer photo review of Unaka - Bike Thru Axle Fork Mount

Darrell

We are very happy with this product. It is very low profile, which allows us to still use the fold down bed in our van. The fork mount works really slick with the L track. Just finished a 2,000 mile trip hauling our new E-bikes with no issues. A great product, particularly if you are trying to keep your bikes mounted as low as possible.

Doug

I ordered this wind fairing to put on our Ford Transit. The provided mounting hardware is for 5280 but it mounted right up to our Unistrut using the correct fasteners. It fit perfectly and is made of very high quality material.

Customer photo review of RAM PROMASTER ROOF RACK

Steve

The rack, once installed has been great. It took me a while to "get my understanding" of how all the pieces fit together and there are a lot of parts. It did take me the better part of a weekend to complete the install but in the end all went well. The rack is solid and I have no regrets about not getting the premium rack. My installation was on a Solis PX and due to some OEM installation placements by Winnebago I could not use the entire length on the drivers side (see photo). I was able to ada...

The ladder works perfect with the rack and is extremely sturdy. Installation was not difficult and pretty straight forward. I would definitely recommend if you are buying the Unaka rack.

Customer photo review of Fiamma F45s Awnings

Robert

Inaka Gear Co provided excellent service throughout the process of purchasing the rack to the installation of the Fiamma awning. Specifically I will call out Matt for his assistance. The rack is well thought out and provides a very strong and stable base for the Fiamma as well as two solar panels.

Christopher

This is a quality roof rack. You can tell the planning and effort that went into it. Installation was pretty straightforward once I figured out the process. We were able to fit 2x250 rear and 2x200 front solar panels including an air vent in the middle, with a bit of space to spare. It requires another two cross bars that are not included and some other nuts and bolts. Make sure to install 8020 sliding nuts for solar beforehand, or you'll be taking things apart like me! We love it and would buy...

The Fiamma awning is a real game changer. It creates an additional outdoor room for relaxing and enjoying a nice breeze, and being able to shade the side of the van from direct sunlight keeps the interior of the van cooler, reducing the energy consumption of our air conditioner. Love it!

Don’t have extra l-track to install perpendicular so we installed them parallel to the l-track and still works great. Have driven over 5,000 miles and they hold the bikes amazingly and solidly.

Absolute professional! I made a mistake on my order (twice) and they called and asked me direct for clarification. They even was looking at past orders to make sure I was getting the right product! Thank you!!

Shannon

I'm blown away by the quality of these mounts! After trying a different, very expensive, brand that I couldn't get to work in my setup, I contacted Unaka Gear. Lauren was super helpful and these new mounts work perfectly with no wasted space or movement when traveling with two heavy eBikes.

Customer photo review of FLUSH MOUNT SOLAR PANEL BRACKETS - STAINLESS

Eric

I couldn’t be happier with the flush mount brackets! My panels sit perfectly between my roof rails and installation was quick and easy. One of the provided locking nuts was the wrong size, but it was a minor issue and didn’t take away from the overall quality of the product. I would still highly recommend these brackets!

FLUSH MOUNT SOLAR PANEL BRACKETS - STAINLESS

Jeffrey

Easy to install, solid and sturdy. Fits into my 8020 15 series roof rack with ease. Solar panel stays flush with rack and makes it “hidden” to the naked eye from the street. So happy with the guys at Unaka Gear Co for their excellent support and customer service. 10/10 would buy again.

The rack layout generator was wonderful to see the potential. I work with Unaka to fine tune options, and the installation went smoothly. The quality is great, many options for future upgrades.

Felt like I got a very good price from Unaka in Spartanburg. I had made my roof rack so had to make some special brackets to extend it out from under the solar panels. Guys at Unaka Gear were very helpful.

Blugh

Shipped quickly to me, install was pretty easy and there are lot's of good videos online on how to do it. The fan it self is really great with many settings and speeds. The ability to change air flow direction is nice also. Unaka has a great check out process and you are notified of shipping progress along the way. I would recommend this to others for sure.

Robert

2024 Ram Promaster 159”. Purchased the Unaka rack kit with brackets and Solar panel mounts. Quick watch of the online videos and awning was up in about 2 hours with one other person assisting during final install. 2 ladders and some light power tools required. Very easy install.

You can buy Victron anywhere but when you purchase from these guy, like I did, YOU GET GREAT PEOPLE PROVIDING AWESOME SUPPORT. I like Victron products and I really like getting my Victron from Unaka. They are good honest people that provide super support and service.

Easy to install with the brackets I purchased with the awning. My son and I installed it in less than an hour. Works great so far. Have used it about 10 times since purchasing.

I built My 1st van with 80/20 that I bought through Distribution using the UNAKA Promaster roof mounts. I did a price comparison and buying this from UNAKA vs buying through distribution and using UNAKA roof mounts the cost was equal but ordering this kit from UNAKA I got the Air Dam for free, BONUS!

My rv repairman installed my new Fiamma awning which was an exact replacement of the original awning. Perfect purchase from Unaka and local installation on my camper worked out great.

I installed the premium version on my Promaster this week. The job took me about three hours to do, but I did it alone and had to move my ladder from one side to the other and back and forth to complete the installation. Everything fit perfectly. The only issue I had was the mounts didn’t quite slide over the posts in my van. I don’t fault Unaka for that, I’m sure the issue was inconstancies with the Promaster. I love the fact that flat mount brackets are included for the solar panels. ...

We had a Fiama Canopy added to our Ram Promaster Van. They included necessary hardware and added a new crossbar. All was completed promptly at their facility. Great to work with. By having them install at their site it saved us shipping costs and they installed for free.

Customer photo review of Ford Transit Roof Rack - HSLD - 148EXT High Roof

Camilo

I stretched out the rack to its fullest to get 3 Renogy 200W panels and 2 MaxxFans, each nestled between 2 Renogy 50W panels. No other rack I researched could handle the foot print I needed. There is a 16” gap which is there because I did not want cut into any seam welds. I like that from the street you can only see the caps of the fans. nice

Unaka was easy to work with and were quick to respond to questions. The rack arrived in good condition and packaged very well. I’m no expert and my van build will take some time to complete but the installation of rack went very smooth. Their videos and instructions are very helpful. I read through the directions and watched the videos before installing. I did the preassemble one evening and installed it the next day. I’m very happy with the quality and look of the Unaka rack. I think applying...

I had a roof rack installed by Unaka Gear Co. They did a GREAT JOB & even did it on Father's Day, no less. I want to thank Brad, Dan, Joe & Jay for working so hard in the heat to get the job done. They also installed my two 200 watt solar panels for me.

I purchased and installed the premium roof rack on my 144 Sprinter. In order to fit everything I purchased light leaf solar panels; not cheap, but incredibly light. Designed primarily for marine installations. I managed to pack 490 Watts of lightleaf panels on my MB Sprinter 144. Started with plain cargo van and have added panels, AC, Starlink mini, and vent. Also installed the front side windows and the flares so I could install bed transversely Rack was easy to install and looks great

These are our go to mounts when trying to keep the bike as low as possible. Unaka Gear has always proven to be top notch. We can't wait to try out the new stuff they're about to release.

Very happy with the kit and everything that was included. Install was simple and the rack easily accepted my Renogy solar panels. Everything being pre-cut and measured saved me time and effort.

Customer photo review of Cross Bars - Transit

Glampervan

Mostly writing this to offset Joshua’s review because we had the opposite experience. We also initially thought the products seemed a bit expensive, but after checking reality over at 80/20, Unaka’s pricing is honestly pretty fair for black 1.5" x 1.5" extrusion — especially considering they include brackets, hardware, custom milling, and a ready-to-install system. Aluminum pricing has gone up a lot, and Unaka was very upfront about both pricing and lead times. If someone wants to source raw ex...

This ladder fit the eBay Roof Rack on my Transit perfectly. I choose it because of the lower mount design, as it only required drilling one new hole my van. It is lightweight and well built.
