The Moonraker Design Co Sprinter Van Ceiling Structural Kit is a complete framing and support kit for your van. Not only does it significantly increase the structural integrity of your camper van conversion, but it also lays the foundation and make it's easier to build on as well.

Our Kit Consists of 4 main components:

The wall a ceiling transition structures
The roof rib structures (set of 5x for Sprinter 144WB and 7x for 170WB) that push attachment points out to the side for a more consistent and controlled bolt pattern (1.25" spacing 31.75mm) and also offer protected wire chases along the roof ribs.
The Upper Cabinet Aluminum machined ceiling brackets ONLY (CNC machined from solid 7075 Aluminum). Sold as each or in package qty's with mounting hardware included. Please note that you will have to order the extruded aluminum separately. We could stock this but we would have to charge you way more than retail for handling & logistics. So to save you money I send you a cut sheet for each sprinter van bay at the time of order so you can order directly form the manufacturer. We can also send you this beforehand if it's helpful for panning. We ended up using 17x of these for our build.
The front and rear support angle brackets (Rib Transition Supports) that solve one of the most complicated parts of a sprinter van roof panel build.

The Sprinter 144 Full Kit & Caboodle comes with all the pieces listed above with quantity 17x of the Upper Cabinet Aluminum Machined Ceiling Brackets which covers the entire drivers sides as well as to the sliding door on the passengers side. If you need more or less of these brackets in the kit please reach out.

This kit not only gives you super strong, structural anchor points, but also allows you to use thinner paneling with reduced risk to warping over the transitions from roof rib to roof rib.

You can buy the entire kit or the individual parts if that works better for your build. Please be sure to read the detailed information below before ordering!

More information coming soon... right now only the front & rear transition pieces are for sale & these will work for both 144 & 170WB vans.

**FINAL NOTE: The full kits only work for 2019+ SPRINTER 144WB VS30 Sprinter Vans right now.

Key Features

Installation Information

The front and rear transitions install with the following included hardware:

13 - M5 Rivnuts & HW to mount the front piece. The slots are big enough vertically and laterally so you can work the curve how you like. We went with M5 in the front because the factory holes you'll drill out are smaller, and we figure it's always best to remove as little of material as possible.
10 - M6 Rivnuts & HW to mount the rear piece. For the rear it's recommend taking a straight edge across the closest roof rib and mark with a sharpie in quite a few places to get the curve you need to match since there's nothing really to follow naturally back here.

If you are using GoCode Trim pieces in the front you will need to cut down the support a bit. A hacksaw is the preferred way to do this. These brackets work with the Terrawagen front trims no problem.

If you haven't buried the factory wiring in the wall, you'll need to notch the rear support to allow the wire to pass through. You'll also need to make modifications here if you are planning on using GoCode Trims.

To attach the panels to the ceiling we've added a bunch of holes 7.6mm (0.300") that are M5 rivnut ready. You can check the specs for the ones we use here.

Front and rear

The front and rear ceiling ribs leave a major challenge to diying a secure ceiling install. These brackets help create a bomb proof ceiling with no flexing at the front and back. You won't regret buying these if you need them. Can confirm the rear fits under the go code D pillar trim and the front bracket just needs to be trimmed off either side but the brackets have a relief cut where you need to trim so it makes cutting ends off easy. I used coarse threaded sheet metal screws for the front and 1/4-20 rivnuts for the rear. ALL MOUNTING HOLES lined up exact on my 23 AWD. Don't be scared get out there and build that van! Products like these make some of the challenges less stressful.

Testimonials

Absolutely stunning, from the shipping and delivery to the impeccable packaging and identification of the parts. I installed in about ten minutes with the video which was linked to my phone via the QR code included in the kit.. Can't say enough about the fit and finish of this kit. Very reasonable price too when you consider all of the extras.

Hood Strut Kit Review

The mounting system works great. I originally installed my MaxxAir fan with sheet metal screws but opted to replace it with with this and glad I did.
