Haha Grazy...i've known your roof rack for ages. When it was still in Portugal 8)
In fact, i've been following the life of your van through your posts since you've bought it
I'm a fan!
My early bay is also from that lovely country

Do you remember:

I started this thread because i'm also looking for one to put on mine:

It will help making up my mind
I have to say though that i have weak spot for commercial ones :roll:

Cheers Buddy!

Wow! What a cool looking bus you have! Great rack too...where did you get it from?
The whole package looks great: side step, bumper trims, roof rack, wheels, stance, color...is it Savannah or Lotus white? Is your bus a type 24 or 22?

Nice one mate !

Cheers mukka [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] rack came from Creative Engineering, my 40th birthday pressy [WRAPPED PRESENT]. Colour is Beryl green with pastel white roof & bumpers. She started life as a microbus but a mate was binning a Dormobile interior which I grabbed off him before it ended up at the tip. Deluxe waist & bumper trim are bits I've added over the years to make her look nice [THUMBS UP SIGN]

This is mine with what I believe are original dormobile roof racks

Hey Loxy,

This is getting interesting...i didn't know Dormobile made roof racks :!:
They're different from what i've seen...they don't seem to be aftermarket.
Is there any markings on the rack or the clamps?
They do look old and original and couldn't fit any better the roof of your camper

Have you ever met another Dormobile owner with the same ones?

Thanks for the contribution

I'll have a look at the original paperwork when I get home but sure there's something in there about roof racks from dormobile, not sure I've seen any exactly the same but have seen a few like the rear.
I'm guessing the front wasn't that popular as it isn't very big, it is definitely made to fit the gap between the dormy roof and screen though as the legs are staggered towards the rear to allow them to fit to the gutters.

Got a full length Desmo roofrack in really good condition if anyones interested. Light weight.

Found an identical rear one that sold on eBay a while back, just realised I had the same type on my old 78 Devon just painted white! But not found any other info on the front one yet (which is built exactly the same).

Here's my homemade version. I know longer have the bike rack on it. It was to hard to load and unload. I now have a bike rack that hooks to my roo bar.



It carried almost a complete interior and pop top from another bus.




Now I carry my kayak on it.

Hey Loxy,
Have a look at Harlequin's bus at the beginning of the thread. He has a rear rack identical to yours! Indeed, the front one i haven't seen another one but yours..
I like the clever little detail of positioning the "legs" backwards to clip on to the rain gutter
Cheers!

The Desmos sold now sorry folks,

Hi Kim,
Some bus owners have roof racks more for the looks than actually for carrying stuff, at best very occasionally...i'll be one of those
At least a admit it! :mrgreen:
You seem to belong to the other group . You certainly make the most of it...we can see you have lots of fun with your bus

Greetings from France!
