No one has any pictures? If I remember correctly they used U channel. I don’t remember what supports they attached to.

Seems like a lot of weight pulling down on the roof. I built my own. 2x6 mounted just below the roof supported on the sides. 200 ft solution, 200 garden. Dosent bow a bit.

My other van I have the supports mounted to the side walls with no problems. I guess I will try and do the same with this one.

I like that! Is that a medium roof transit? My concern would be that the metal will fatigue over time where the reel braces mount. I was considering the same thing with my set up and decided without additional supports to the floor it will fail.

Looks superior to a POS Transit. It must be a Promaster.

Yes it’s a medium roof. I might put a brace mount to the floor but not sure yet. Seems sturdy now but we will see once we actually get hose on and start using it.
