Frequently Asked Questions
Which roof rack fits my VW Crafter or MAN TGE?
Our expedition roof racks are designed for VW Crafter and MAN TGE vans from 2017 onwards, with separate medium-wheelbase and long-wheelbase versions.
Choose the MWB rack for the listed medium-wheelbase body or the LWB rack for the listed long-wheelbase body. Send us your registration, roof height and a photo of the van before ordering if you need fit confirmation. Do not assume the LWB rack also fits an extra-long body.
What are the dimensions of the MWB and LWB roof racks?
MWB rack: 3,498mm long × 1,500mm wide × approximately 153mm high.
LWB rack: 4,300mm long × 1,500mm wide × approximately 153mm high.
Use these dimensions when planning your roof layout. Measure the final installed vehicle height separately, including solar panels, roof boxes or other equipment, before using height-restricted entrances.
What are the Crafter and MAN TGE roof racks made from?
Both racks use 5mm marine-grade aluminium with a textured black powder-coated finish. The LWB rack weighs 26.39kg.
Aluminium construction keeps rack weight down, leaving more of the permitted roof load available for equipment. The powder coating provides the black exterior finish.
Do I need roof rails to fit these expedition racks?
No. The MWB and LWB Crafter and MAN TGE racks bolt directly to the vehicle’s factory mounting points. Separate roof rails are not required.
Both kits include mounting brackets and stainless steel fixing hardware. Follow the fitting instructions for assembly, fixing and sealing.
Can I fit the roof rack myself, and how long does it take?
The Crafter and MAN TGE racks are designed for fitting with standard tools, with an estimated installation time of 4–6 hours.
Professional fitting is also available at Wildworx HQ in Alcester. Contact us to arrange installation if you would prefer the rack fitted for you.
Can I mount solar panels, a roof box or recovery tracks?
Yes. The Crafter and MAN TGE racks have four aluminium T-slot crossbars for attaching solar panels, roof boxes, recovery boards and other compatible equipment.
Solar panels and accessories are sold separately. Plan attachment points around your equipment and leave enough space for roof vents and skylights to open. Include brackets and carried equipment in your roof-load calculation.
Can I fit a Fiamma or Thule awning to the rack?
The Crafter and MAN TGE expedition racks are designed to accommodate Fiamma F45s and Thule Omnistor awnings using suitable mounting brackets.
Tell us the exact awning model when planning your setup so the bracket arrangement and door clearance can be confirmed before installation.
Are lights included with the roof rack?
You can choose the Crafter and MAN TGE rack without lights or with the optional lighting package. The lighting package includes one 52-inch LED light bar and four LED cube lights.
The light bar has a 6000K white driving beam, white and amber position lights, a stated output of 4,800 lumens and an IP67 rating. Electrical installation is additional to assembling and mounting the rack.
How much weight can I carry on a campervan roof rack?
Your usable carrying capacity is the lowest permitted limit of the vehicle roof, rack and mounting system, after accounting for the rack and fitted accessories. The vehicle’s roof-load limit must not be exceeded.
For example, if your vehicle has a confirmed 100kg total roof-load limit, a 26.39kg rack leaves 73.61kg before adding brackets and equipment. This is a calculation example, not a load rating for these racks.
We do not publish a numerical rack load rating here. Confirm the approved capacity for your exact installation with us before carrying heavy loads.
Can I use the rack as a roof terrace or mount a rooftop tent?
Do not treat accessory-mounting capability as approval to carry people. A rooftop tent or standing area needs explicit confirmation of the rack, mounting system and vehicle’s suitability for that use.
Send us your proposed tent or decking arrangement and intended loads before buying. Roof-load limits while driving and loads while parked must be assessed separately.
Do you sell a Mercedes Sprinter roof rack?
Yes. Our Mercedes Sprinter LWB tubular roof rack is currently listed as coming soon. Its design has curved tubular rails, a black finish and two slotted platform panels.
You can sign up on the Sprinter roof rack product page for release updates. Full specifications and fitting details will be published at launch.
Is UK shipping free on Play Dirty roof racks?
Yes. Play Dirty offers free UK shipping on orders over £100, so our roof racks qualify for free UK shipping.
Dispatch timing depends on manufacture and availability. If you are booking fitting, confirm the current dispatch date with us before scheduling the installation.
What warranty comes with Play Dirty roof racks?
Built for adventure. Backed by Play Dirty. Our eligible own-brand products come with a 3-year product warranty, a 5-year finish warranty and a 30-day fit guarantee—giving you confidence in what you buy and support if something goes wrong.
3-Year Product Warranty: If your product fails due to a material or manufacturing defect within three years, we’ll repair or replace it free of charge, including the necessary carriage costs.
5-Year Finish Warranty: Our covered exterior products are protected against rust, peeling and coating failure caused by manufacturing defects for five years. If the finish fails, we’ll refinish or replace the affected component. Accidental damage, stone chips and normal wear are excluded.
30-Day Fit Guarantee: Get your fit confirmed by us before ordering. If the product doesn’t fit the vehicle we approved, let us know within 30 days of delivery. We’ll cover return carriage and arrange the correct replacement or a refund.
Applies to eligible products. Full terms and exclusions apply. Your statutory rights are unaffected.
Are third-party lights and accessories covered by the same warranty?
Third-party products come with their own manufacturer’s warranty. Buying them alongside a Play Dirty rack does not automatically bring them under our own-brand product or finish warranties.
Contact us to confirm the cover for your selected lighting or accessory package. Your statutory rights are unaffected.
