ROOFTOP DECK - TRANSIT
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing the Van Cafe Rooftop Deck for the Transit van. The key to a
good camper van is function and storage and the Rooftop Deck offers both. Bring your
kayak, mount your rocket box, attach your bike rack or ski rack – pretty much whatever
you can think of, the Rooftop Deck can handle it.
Created in Fort Collins, Colorado, the Van Cafe Rooftop Deck is the product of years of
manufacturing expertise. Here at Van Cafe, we are innovators, thinkers, creators, doers
and, most importantly, users! We love the outdoors and the idea of sharing experiences
and memories with our families, friends, and our customers.
