Just finished installing the Stealth+ roof rack Promaster 159 Solis edition on our Winnebago Solis NPF. It required moving the solar input box and removing the roof access box that were in the way. I only have one word: wow!
First the packaging is top notch and everything is so well protected and labeled that it is really easy to locate everything needed. The quality of the parts is perfect and the instructions are really clear. It does fit perfectly and is really solid.
I would definitely recommend this roof rack to anyone. Note that the Solis edition is slightly longer to clear the AC unit that is factory installed. I also pre assembled the back deflector as it would have been more complex to do as per the instructions because of AC unit.
Next step is to add solar panels.
Learned about this product from watching expedition on prime tv. After researching the product I decided their recommendation had merit. I was not disappointed. From order to delivery everything was done quickly and professionally. Installation instructions were easy to follow and the rack was installed in two days. I was working solo. Only hiccup I had was a couple of screws were missing, not sure if I lost them or it was a packaging issue, but the Orion staff immediately sent me replacements. Excellent customer service. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a roof rack
I love the Rack and Panels but unfortunately, I ordered some wrong size panels that would not work how I wanted it with my walkable solar panels. Orion was great about this and helped me get the correct panels and gave me a refund. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for van gear.

Not sure if I reviewed this rack yet or not. I've been reviewing so many items for this van build I've lost track! If you are planning on buying a roof rack for your Promaster van build, this is what you want. Sure you could [attempt to] make one yourself as I was originally thinking, but you would never achieve the quality and look of this awesome rack! Yes, it's expensive. In defense of that, it's SOLID and beautiful! I truly believe this rack will outlast the van (and probably me as well). Honestly, I can't say enough good stuff about the rack or Orion. I had a question about the installation and got an email reply the same day--and it was a Sunday! These guys truly care about what they do and they do it very well. This is my second van build and the first didn't have a rack. If I should happen to build another van, this rack will be on the procurement list, 100%. My setup is 600W Renogy solar (6x100w panels) with 2 Maxxair vent fans. The look is the setup that's essentially the picture that's with this item on the webpage. The guys at Orion emailed me a cad drawing confirming the fit prior to purchase and the fit is 'like a glove'. This rack allows me to add 50% additional solar as compared to my previous van build. Thanks, guys for the great product and super customer support!

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!
