Orion Van Gear Modular Sprinter Roof Deck Panels 2.0

The Orion Van Gear Modular Sprinter Roof Deck Panels were the first-ever modular roof deck system designed specifically for 10-series crossbars, setting the benchmark in the van world. While others have tried to imitate our innovation, we remain unmatched in quality, functionality, price, and drive to continually improve.

With six different-sized panels, our system offers unparalleled versatility for Stealth+ Sprinter Roof Rack owners, no matter your roof configuration. Compatible with all three Sprinter wheelbases—144, 170, and 170 EXT—you can customize your setup by mixing and matching individual panels or selecting pre-configured bundles. For a perfect fit, we even offer CAD-Verified Layouts upon request.

Introducing a Van World First—Flush Surface Design

After over a year of development, our newest version is a true breakthrough: the first-ever fully flush countersunk hardware system for modular roof deck panels. This innovation eliminates bulky button heads, taking functionality and design to a new level. Key features include:

  • Seamless, 100% Flush Surface: No bolt heads to catch your feet, gear, or equipment.
  • Perfect for Walkable Solar Panels: No need to avoid bolt heads when installing walkable solar panels, ensuring maximum utility, aesthetics, and longevity of your solar panel system.
  • Improved Longevity and Efficiency: A completely flush surface minimizes wear and tear on panels, protecting your investment and ensuring optimal solar output for years to come.
  • 316 Stainless Steel Deck Bolts: Custom-engineered for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. These are not off-the-shelf bolts; they feature a custom countersunk angle and precise bolt length specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the extrusion system, ensuring a perfect, flush fit.

This patent-pending design redefines what modular roof deck panels can be. Our panels are more functional, more durable, and designed to withstand even the toughest adventures. Scroll through the product images to explore example layouts and find inspiration for your perfect setup!

Custom Configuration Assistance

Step 1: Design your roof layout and determine which panels fit best. Fill out this form for a free CAD-verified layout to ensure optimal configuration when paired with our racks. If you have fans, air conditioners, hatches, or other items through the roof jump to step 3. 

  • Calculate crossbar spacing by subtracting 2" from the length of each panel (gives you the distance needed between crossbars). For Example, a B panel that is 28.5” long, would require 26.5” between 2 crossbars as each panel overlaps the top of each crossbar by 1”.

Step 2: Email us to verify the panel configuration. If you have appliances mounted (fan, AC, or hatch), provide the model name/number and specific measurements using the reference images below.

  1. For rear-mounted appliances, measure the distance from the rear plug to the rear edge of the appliance.
  2. For forward-mounted appliances, measure the distance from the front seam to the front edge of the appliance.
  3. Measure the distance between all roof appliances. (EG. between fan and AC)

Key Features:

  • The Most Innovative Sprinter Roof Deck System on the Market: Featuring a patent-pending flush-mounted hardware design for a completely seamless surface. Built from durable, lightweight aluminum and coated with UV-resistant powder for long-lasting protection.

  • Customizable Modular System: Choose from 6 Sprinter-specific panel sizes for perfect compatibility, or mix and match with 4 Transit panel sizes if needed. Request a CAD-verified layout. This allows for nearly unlimited combinations to create full decks, partial decks, or single-panel installations. They sit flush with the rack's top edge for improved aerodynamics and usability.

  • 100% Flush Surface Design: No bolt heads to catch feet or gear. Ideal for installing walkable solar panels without worrying about bolt placement, ensuring maximum utility and efficiency.

Awesome DIY Roof Rack with Walking Solar Deck!

Super stoked to get our roof rack with the deck panels installed allowing us to get 600 watts of walkable solar panels on the deck! This thing is completely DIY. With this roof rack system, we have a Maxxair Fan, a 12v AC, a full deck, and 600 watts of walkable solar! Can't beat that.

Great service and product!

I sent my roof dimensions and within a day they send me a floor plan that had one less panel than what i originally thought I would need. I appreciate the honesty. The panels were super easy to mount and are extremely durable and well made.

Great product and customer service.

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.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the great review! We're glad we could help you get the right panels and that you're happy with our service. We appreciate your recommendation and are here if you need further assistance!
Best, The Orion Van Gear Team

A deck panels

We installed 6 A deck panels on a FLVC rack for a low top sprinter. Had to drill a few holes but that wasn’t all that big of a deal. They fit perfect!
Nice study deck so it’s not so sketchy loading kayaks now.

Dear Patricia,
We’re thrilled to hear our Modular Roof Deck Panels fit perfectly on your FVCO rack and made your kayak loading experience safer and easier. It’s great to see our panels' versatility in action, even on non-Orion racks. Our panels are designed to be compatible with any rack that features 2x1' or 3x1' 8020 style crossbars, ensuring a broad range of usability. Plus, our commitment to offering a variety of sizes and competitive pricing adds to their appeal for van enthusiasts like yourself. Enjoy your more secure and convenient kayaking adventures, and thank you for choosing us!
Warm regards,
Orion Van Gear

2 "B" panels fill the gaps in my roof rack...perfectly!
I am a wise Owl!

Shawn - Hoot hoot hooray! Your wise owl instincts have served you well – glad to hear our 'B' deck panels filled those gaps in your roof rack to a T. Keep soaring high with your perfect setup!

175 Walkable Solar

Installed 3 175W walkable solar panels over the Orion Sprinter Rack and Roof Panels. Filled up the rack space perfectly with only 4"-5" of extra space. Electrical controllers not in yet so can't comment on them in use but the install looks good.

Mike, Thanks for the review! Fitting 525 watts of solar panels and an AC on a 144 is quite a feat, let alon that its a fully usable deck also! - OVG ☀️

Awesome panels!

What can I say? They’re great! Came exactly as described. Hardware was all there and very good quality. Install was even easier than expected. They went above and beyond to help me make sure I was ordering the correct panels.
They were the exact size listed in their description. Packaging was phenomenal to avoid any possible shipment damage.

I installed (5) “B” Panels on a Transit Van with a V2 Flatline Van Co. Lo Pro rack. With my setup I was required to drill (2) small bolts for crossbar spacing in the rear.

Roof Deck!

These roof panels were super easy to install and make it so much easier to attach things to my roof. With just the rails and only one ladder it’s extremely difficult to strap down even a surfboard. Now I can get right up onto the roof with ease! Great product! Now it’s time to install my roof top fan.
