Vehicle: VW ID Buzz 

“After having the older style racking for 4 years in my previous van I knew i never wanted to go back to squeaky plywood racking again”

The ID Buzz hit the vehicle market in 2022, and our innovative team of designers worked hard to ensure we had a new vehicle-specific racking system ready for it!

So although Mike already had a Citroen Berlingo roof rack for storage of long items, it was now time for some much needed van tool storage to convert his van into the optimum work station on wheels that would maximise his efficiency...

“The instructions were very comprehensive, so I think even a novice could easily fit a full van kit in a couple of days.”

Meet Elliott Killingbeck from ‘Fit My Dash Cam’, a small mobile business based in Hampshire, who offer a wide range of camera options and security solutions. Elliotts work requires him to carry a lot of specialist equipment, and we loved seeing how our racking integrated with his business, and the customisations he made. If you’d like to learn more about Elliotts business and get a good look at his Vauxhall Vivaro racking system, head to Fit My Dash Cam , where you can see some great video footage shot by Victron Energy!
