Harnessing Nature's Power:
Unleash the full potential of solar energy with our MEGA 250-watt panel, which boasts the highest watts per square foot or the best way to maximize solar potential on Promaster and Sprinter racks. Its impressive dimensions of 60.6" long, 29.9" wide, and 1.2" tall make it the largest solar panel that seamlessly fits within:
While the stock 170W panel is enough to keep your house batteries topped up in good conditions w/ the just the fridge on while the van is parked in the driveway, it will not keep up with active use while boondocking for multiple days. With this set up I have been able to park and live/work in my Pocket 36A for 5 days (running fridge, Truma heater, lights, audio equipment, laptop, phone, WeBoost) in mixed wether without my house batteries becoming a concern. In light of other options that would allow me this flexibility, this package got me there very easily and relatively inexpensively in that I had already added the rack to mount my ladder, Fiamma 45s awning, and WeBoost Drive Reach overland antenna. The folks at Orion have been great to work with all along the way… quality products backed by top shelf customer service. Thank you!
The panels work great and I have yet to plug in to shore power. I have left the battery heaters on and the power takes care of the battery’s first thing in the morning. I have only been on one trip. Ran all power and never was below 550w in the morning.
Wrote a previous review about the install process and design. Checking in after a year of heavy use.
Through four seasons and ~6 months of travel, completely happy and no complaints. Have barely had to tension hardware after traveling through blazing deserts and Teton winter.
There are so many different ways to use it, it looks great, and hasn't scuffed much or faded in the sun.
I added the awning later but wished I just did it at the beginning.
The ladder/pole/fairing don't whistle at all on my van. Clearing snow off if it in winter is pretty easy with the ladder.
I've seen no downside. It opens up tons of possibilities on how to configure your setup. I'm always eyeing the other racks out there and still think this one looks the best.
Love these! Well made, and super plug and play with our Orion Stealth Rack. The added capture capacity is a game changer for extended boondocking. Wish I had room for two more!
Greg, Thanks for the stellar review! We're thrilled they've been a perfect match for your Orion Stealth Rack and have elevated your Solis Pocket boondocking experiences. Happy adventures!

The Fiamma LED light kit is amazing super easy to install and the light it puts out awesome. I highly recommend this kit to anyone who has an Fiamma awning and wants lights outside.
I purchased the Promaster 136" version of the Stealth+ roof rack. It fits the Velit 2000R air conditioner, Deluxe MaxAir Fan and two 200 Watt Renogy Solar panels with no issue. I am very pleased with my purchase and it looks great!
I haven't seen it because my van is a couple of hundred miles away at a shop, bit my builder is impressed so that sounds good to me and should to you also. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the Spring.
Dear Arica,
Thank you for your great 5-star review! It seems like your Orion Rack is already making a great impression, even from a few hundred miles away. We're thrilled to hear that your builder is impressed – after all, if it's good enough for the pros, it's got to be something special, right? We can't wait for you to see and experience our product come spring. It's like waiting for a good season of your favorite TV show – but trust us, it's worth the wait. We're confident that it will add that extra spark to your van adventures. Until then, may your anticipation be as enjoyable as the product itself! Happy travels (eventually) and thank you again for choosing Orion Van Gear. Warm regards,
