Tip
System Profile Base Roof Vanzeit VANRAILs
Base T-Nut Profile Fastening System California Pop-Up Roof
The all-in-one profile: Clothes hooks, clothes rail, wardrobe, shelf, rack, key rail, kitchen utensil holder, magnetic strip, ... up to the overhead cabinet ... it all fits, fits always, and looks good while doing it. Checked Off ✔️ Hooks for jackets, hooks for the base cap, hooks for the backpack, hooks for Sunnersta, ... it's like with shrimp and Forrest Gump. With the unimaginative ones on Etsy and elsewhere, you can find them all. Few hold, most look like they are, and - "strangely" - they all look the same. Now you can surf, research, compare, ... and waste your time to find the best for you. It's the same sauce. "Yes, but my idea doesn't fit there anyway." Why isn't there just a single way for me to attach what I like? You've found it. The one to hold them all I've tried it all... Airline tracks, C-tracks, rack tracks, sliding tracks, groove profiles up and down... Both in appearance - aluminum silver, anodized - and in function, this profile has proven itself in our camping for years. You might already know it from its use in my simple roof cabinet for hanging under the pop-up roof. The lightweight profile is made of aluminum, has a 6mm groove, and allows mounting with normal machine screws along its entire length (590 mm). It accommodates M3, M4, M5, and M6 threads.You simply insert a T-slot nut of your choice into the profile where you want it and tighten your accessory with a screw. It's as simple as that. Machine What? Machine? Yes, that's an unbeatable advantage. In times of half-blind and brain-dead post-turtles ( aka politicians in Germany ), where inflation outside the statistical basket knows no bounds, and procurement only knows red lines... ... having a standardized part from mechanical engineering that remains available for the foreseeable future is a dream. And there's no need for a "fact check":In mechanical engineering internationally proven for decades - this part holds. Rock solid. Up to the Roof Under the pop-up roof, the VANRAIL system profile finds secure support on the proven profiles of my "old Swede." 2mm stainless steel even supports a full-grown pull-up in the sliding door. Look who's hanging there... Two profiles (1x base and 1x extension) fit next to each other on each side, giving you the full available width below the headliner for mounting. A connector joins them simply. At VANZEIT ®, of course Of course, the VANRAILs fit on both the driver's side and the passenger's side. To protect the bed frame and the interior of your VW California, the backs of the two attachments in the pop-up roof are felted. The roof can, of course, be closed with the rail mounted. Inspiration Nicole and I have tested which furnishings in camper's everyday life fit on the VANRAIL and make your bus life easier. Practical: magnetic strip for, e.g., cutlery above the mini kitchen A handle knob as a coat hook ... endless variations :)) Now a basic: IKEA Sunnersta rod How about a tablet holder, IKEA Good for dish towels, hand towels, ... Always at hand :] (Soap) dish for small items, e.g., the keychain Elegant! Steel clothes rod Super stable clothes hooks for the wardrobe For some, a picture ledge, for others, probably the cheapest shelf Do you already have an idea of what you'll attach to your VANRAIL?Feel free to write to me with an email. I look forward to it! I will add additional IKEA hacks with the system profile and other furnishings from the blue-yellow furniture store in the campervan to the blog post with my DIY bus hacks for VW California.

The VANZEIT ® Difference?

We think different.

Instead of average, with us, you get creative, practical, and durable setups from original ideas.

Our own camping experience is reflected in the attention to detail – and you’ll feel it in every use.

Trust in expertise for your relaxed VANZEIT ®!

 
🕐 New Product Ideas

A missing coat hook in our first California led to my invention of the well-known hooks for the pop-up roof, our ABHÄNG.

Why drill into your bus? From my incomprehension of this and the limited headroom under the market roof cabinets, our EINFACH was born.

Every idea matures between my own ears, from actual need and missing solutions.

🕑 Thoughtful Product Design

Initial sketches turn into prototypes made of cardboard.

Once I'm convinced, I construct it using CAD, based on the already specific dimensions.

The design is then implemented and tested with 3D printing, on the sewing machine, or in the workshop.

In the refinement process, I remove unnecessary parts from the design.

🕒Tested in Camping Life

Nicole and I take new accessories on tour directly with our bumblebee (aka T6 California Beach).

Is a contour not perfect, or is a feature not used while camping?

If so, it gets adjusted and tested again. And possibly again...

Only what convinces us over a season and proves its value gets produced.

🕓 Made in Northern Germany

We found our production partners within a few kilometers of us.

This guarantees short distances and quick, personal agreements by handshake.

Small series' production ensures fast adjustments, even with your suggestions.

🕔 Ensures More Freedom

Focusing on the essentials gives you more space.

Less ballast means less fuel consumption. You go further.

Simple designs integrate timelessly into your individual setup.

Organization with a system relaxes. Stuffing was yesterday, today you can safely stow your equipment - and find it again tomorrow.

The DIY shelf system DAGEHTNOCHWAS is simply attached above the bed surface in the pop-up roof of the VW California T5, T6, and T6.1 on the separately available VANRAIL base profile.
When the roof is closed, it can remain in place.

You can design it yourself as you like.

Choose the color of the bungee cords yourself, you can also use multiple colors for a rainbow effect.
Add a magnetic base in half or full length.
Build a second level underneath with our MUSTMIT or DARFRAUS or sew one yourself.

Secure storage space

While driving, the sturdy sides secure deposited items. Thanks to the front flap, everything remains accessible, even when the roof is closed.

The real wood front can be folded upwards.
The front folds up.

 

As a roof box and storage space under the pop-up roof for a book, fruit, earrings, sunglasses ... there's still room for more!

With extra hanging options

For some, just a few mountain peaks, others associate them with the dunes from their last visit to the beach.

But they are simply practical:

There are 3 additional hooks on the front for hanging tea towels, oven mitts and the like. 
You can position the hooks either on the left or right.

There is an additional hook on each side.

Flap and sides with extra hanging options
Extra hooks on the front and both sides

 

Made for California

The shelf that fits snugly against the VW California panel profile only protrudes 127 mm into the interior.
The remaining 58 mm extend into the window frame. The lighting remains unobstructed.

The timeless, curved aluminum front at the leading edge not only prevents injuries.
It also, together with the real wood front cover, matches the interior design of the California and Multivan. 

Configure your Calishelf

There's still more.

At the bottom, the system base with three cross-strung rubber cords provides extra space for kitchen utensils, chalk bags (great for cutlery too!), and more.

5 elongated holes in the system base for expansions

At the front, bottom, left, and right, there is plenty of space on the rubber bands for your camping utensils.

Attach where you want, always secure!
Attach where you want, always secure!

On the side or below, the kitchen paper towel holder ROLLO complements it, next to it the shelf kitchen railing and utensil holder HARKAN works great, next door also another DAGEHTNOCHWAS ... (illustration still with the previous series)

DAGEHTNOCHWAS shelf VW California
What's possible for you?

Optionally magnetic.

The system base is made of birch plywood.

Two floor plates in half the width of the shelf each expand the possibilities for e.g. the Silwy range or magnetic fastenings. You decide: One half magnetic, the other for an additional shelf compartment, the entire base magnetic, or ...

This allows you to easily and quickly add further hanging options for towels, pot holders, and more with the magnetic hooks ZIEHAN available as accessories.

Now it's getting colorful.

Bungee cords in various colors are available for the tie-downs.
For the rubber cords, we give you the choice of color in 50-centimeter pieces.

Choose your favorite color, e.g. matching the paintwork of your Bulli.

You'll get along well with a total of 1.5 meters / 3 pieces if you only want to tension the floor.
With 2 meters / 4 pieces, it's enough for an extra round, e.g. in the middle of the shelf, for separation, e.g. rear spices and front vegetables, and with 3 meters / 6 pieces, you'll be all-around happy and have room for a few extra loops.

Mounting in the VW California pop-up roof

You can attach your complete shelf to the VANRAIL base profile for the roof with two screws.
If you already have another mounting option, e.g. an airline rail, you can also attach the DIY shelf kit to it. In this case, the two attachment points may need to be slightly enlarged.

The additions shown in the gallery and items in the shelf - fruit, cups, glasses, kitchen paper ... - are not included in the scope of delivery. The shelf parts are delivered disassembled.
