The Best 3 Dodge Ram Promaster Roof Racks for Your Campervan

The Ram ProMaster is one of the most popular campervans for DIY builds and budget-friendly conversions. It’s wide enough to sleep sideways, easier on the wallet than a Sprinter, and has a growing lineup of aftermarket upgrades.

A roof rack is one of the most useful additions you can make to a ProMaster. Whether you’re mounting solar panels, carrying gear, adding an awning, or dreaming of a rooftop hangout spot, the right rack makes all the difference.

Below are the best ProMaster roof racks available right now.

The Best Roof Racks for a Dodge Promaster Campervan

Oregon-based Orion Van Gear builds all-aluminum roof racks and side ladders for Ram Promasters and Sprinters. These are the only ones on the market that come in black or silver. Another added perk is that the Orion Stealth+ roof racks are made in Oregon.

The Orion Van Gear Stealth+ Promaster Roof Rack has a low profile for reduced wind noise and provides 360-degree roof privacy, so people can’t easily see what gear you installed on top when they walk by. The front and rear wind fairings are included in the price. To fit your solar panels and fan, simply move the crossbars to the desired location.

The Stealth+ Rack is designed for the Fiamma F45s awning which is cheaper than the F80.

This roof rack is available for:

• 118″ Low Roof
• 136″ Low and High Roof
• 136″ Winniebago Solis Pocket
• 159″ High Roof and Extended

Installation is easy – you won’t need a crane or to do any cutting or drilling through the metal for this roof rack. It mounts directly to the factory roof pins through some adaptors. This roof rack also features front fairing to alleviate wind noise.

Orion Van Gear offers free shipping in the contiguous 48 states and Canada. Lead time is about 3-4 weeks.

The Ram ProMaster Weekender Roof Rack from Aluminess is built for van owners who need serious strength, reliable roof access, and long-term durability. Constructed from heavy-duty aluminum alloy tubing, this rack is incredibly strong while remaining lighter than many comparable steel options. It mounts directly to factory roof points, keeping installation clean and secure with no drilling required.

Designed in a basket-style double-loop configuration, the Weekender Rack makes it easy to haul bulky gear while keeping everything safely contained. Buyers can choose between slatted flooring for flexible tie-down points or a perforated aluminum floor for a more solid, walkable platform. Both options allow you to stand, sit, or move gear confidently across the roof, making it ideal for boards, storage boxes, and overland equipment.

The ProMaster High Roof Low Pro Roof Rack from Flatline Van Co. is designed for van owners who want a clean, lightweight rack without unnecessary bulk. Built entirely from aluminum and finished in a durable black powder coat, this rack keeps overall weight low while still providing a strong, reliable platform for solar panels, rooftop gear, and accessories. Its low-profile design sits close to the roofline, improving aerodynamics and helping maintain fuel efficiency compared to taller basket-style racks.

One of the standout features of this rack is its modular adjustability. The six included crossbars are 80/20 compatible and can slide forward or backward to easily work around roof fans, air conditioners, and other rooftop components. Integrated drop-in hardware slots make mounting accessories simple and flexible, whether you are adding solar panels, gear boxes, or kayak mounts now or down the road. The front fairing helps reduce wind noise and is available with an optional cutout for a 50-inch light bar if off-road lighting is part of your build plan.

Designed specifically for 2014+ Ram ProMaster 159” high-roof vans, this rack is engineered to work seamlessly with other Flatline Van Co. accessories, including their side ladder and Fiamma awning mounts. Installation is DIY-friendly with basic tools, and most installs can be completed in under two hours. This rack is a strong choice for builders who value a sleek look, flexible mounting options, and a well-engineered system that grows with their van setup.

How Much Can a Promaster Roof Hold?

When adding a roof rack to your Promaster campervan, you should take into account how much weight your roof is rated for.

I couldn’t find any official information on the website for Dodge Promasters, but on forums, people assume the roof can hold up to 330 pounds or so. You should take this into consideration when choosing a roof rack.

Roof racks can weigh anywhere between 60 and 100 pounds. If you get 100-pound roof rack and then add gear and solar panels, your weight could go up another 100 pounds. And if you and another person want to sit on a rooftop deck on a Promaster, that goes up even more.

It’s good to think through the weight before adding a roof rack, gear and human bodies to the top of your van.

What to Think About Before Choosing a Promaster Roof Rack

Here are a few considerations before you jump in and buy a roof rack.

What is the Roof Rack Made out of?

Before you buy a rack, make sure it’s made out of aluminum. Most roof racks on the market these days are made out of lightweight aluminum, but it’s good to make sure.

Do you Need Adjustable Crossbars?

Some roof racks, like the Flatline Low Pro, come with adjustable crossbars so you can decide the configuration of your rack. We chose an Aluminess roof rack, which doesn’t have crossbars, but a perforated aluminum bottom and side rails which makes it easy to attach gear and solar panels.

How Heavy is the Roof Rack?

You’ll want to factor in the weight of your roof rack when choosing one for your Promaster. Some racks are significantly lighter than others, with the Flatline Low Pro roof rack the lightest we could find. You’ll want to factor in how much gear weight you’ll be putting up there, too.

Will you be Installing the Roof Rack Yourself?

Some roof racks ship right to your door in pieces and offer easy installation, but the quality is slightly lower than something like an Aluminess rack which is one piece. We brought our van down to the Aluminess factory in Santee, California for installation, which was easier than shipping it and trying to find a forklift.

Do you Want a Roof Deck?

A roof deck is wonderful to have for sitting on top of your van and enjoying grand views. If a deck is important to you, you’ll want to find a roof rack with a perforated aluminum bottom rather than slats or crossbars. However, slats or crossbars allow you to build a wooden deck on your roof.

If you buy an Orion roof rack for your Promaster, you can add on these roof deck brackets to make a simple rooftop deck!

Do you Need Cutouts for a Roof Vent or AC Unit?

Many people put rooftop air conditioners or roof vents on top of their van. This isn’t a problem if you choose a rack with adjustable mounts. Just move the crossbar to accommodate the permanently-installed equipment in your roof.

If you want to go with an Aluminess roof rack like we did, you can either go with the custom vent van spot or design your own rack. We chose a custom placement to the side of the rack to accommodate gear on our roof.

Promaster Roof Rack Accessories

There are a lot of roof rack accessories to consider for your Promaster van.

A Ladder

If you have a roof rack on your Promaster, you’ll need a way to get up there to access your cargo boxes, gear and solar panels. You can choose either a side ladder or back door ladder. We prefer a rear door ladder for our campervan as it has less wind drag than a side ladder.

However, some people prefer a side ladder as it leaves your back doors unencumbered and easier to open. You can find ladders to go with your roof rack on many different websites, including Flatline, CampervanHQ and OrionVanGear.

Surf Poles

If you carry surfboards, you might want to consider adding a surf pole to your Promaster roof rack. Surf poles mount to the roof rack on the top and the van’s pinch weld on the bottom. This is an easy way for surf boards to be easily accessible without you needing to crawl up to the roof of your van.

See this Aluminess surf pole on CampervanHQ.

An Awning

The Fiamma F45S is a perfect addition to Promaster vans. These awnings easily mount to Flatline Van Co’s Promaster Low Pro Roof Rack. The Fiamma F45S awning comes in three sizes: 10’1″, 11’4″ or 13’1″. The Fiamma is an easy-to-install awning, and the flush mount ensures that you don’t have any gaps where water can get through.

Solar Panels

You’ll most likely be adding solar panels to your Promaster roof. Some good brands to check out are Zamp Solar, Go Power or Renogy. Rigid solar panels are easy to mount on a roof rack, especially if you have one with adjustable crossbars. You can also just flat mount flexible solar panels directly to your roof rack’s perforated bottom, but that makes it more permanent and harder to remove.

A Cargo Box

Many van lifers choose to add a cargo box to their roof rack. Cargo boxes are great for storing items you don’t want to carry around inside your campervan, like outdoor camping gear, backpacking gear, climbing gear, hiking boots and poles, etc. There are lots of different cargo box options of various sizes, and they can all attach to your Promaster roof rack!

Check out cargo boxes on CampervanHQ here.

Lockable Tie Down Straps

If you want to tie down your surf boards or kayak and leave your van unattended, you might want to consider lockable tie-down straps. These work like regular tie-down straps but with the addition of a lock and key.

Check out the Kanaluck lockable tie-down straps here.

Lighting

You can easily attach a few lights or a light bar to a Promaster roof rack to help out when you’re boondocking or doing down dark dirt roads at night.

LED light pods like these can attach directly to the Orion roof rack, and you can add 6 or 7 for your desired brightness. Or, instead of individual lights, you can opt for a light bar.
