Rhino Full and 3/4 size

[YellowLab]

Has anyone seen the dimensions LxW of both Rhino rack options? Prefer the 3/4 so I can use the safari windows - but the iKamper tents have rack length requirements.

Thread bump

Just another cheeky bump

Just dropped $3k on the Front Runner 3/4. They are just back in stock in Oz and I didn't want to miss out before spring/summer.
Mind you, I haven't got the Grenadier quite yet!

 

[grenadierboy]

Front Runner 3/4 because you have safari windows ?

Yes.
If I ever need to go full size it's just a matter of buying longer side pieces.
Unlikely, now my wife is twisting my arm to think about hybrid offroad caravans...

I looked through the 17ft LXV at the Melb Caravan & Camping Show earlier this year & their product is amazing, best in class; very high quality, superbly made with great attention to detail.

Reassuringly expensive but.....only the best for the better half I say!

I would also support a thread for vans.
Then we could draw comparisons to the Grenadier and see how other companies cummunicate.
Do you mean vans as separate vehicles (that's what I mean) or caravans?

I meant caravans, incl camper trailers.
Much variation in different countries, but may be interesting to compare.

I’ve previously had a rhino rack and found it perfectly did what it was supposed to.

That 3/4 rhino rack now available as an option on the configurator was looking the goods for me, so I wrote to the dealer and asked him if I could buy one. sadly the dealer has informed me:
“The ¾ Roof Platform is not available for purchasing yet. INOES have advised this roof platform may not be able to be purchased until first quarter 2024.”

In the last few years, I’ve come to speak ‘Ineosian’ fluently. For those who aren’t fluent, the above quote means you might be able to order in late’24 but delivery won’t occur until late 2025.

Time to look for an alternate 6 foot rack.

Mmm . That’s a bummer as I’ve spec’d one on my build. Ah well, don’t expect to see it until probably Q2 24 so I’ll try to stay positive

It’s probably a different situation if you configure it in your build from the outset… I think the problem selling one to me is probably that they only have enough to fulfil future new orders I think you’ll be fine.

Are you sure it's a 3/4 and not 1/2?
I still haven't seen dimensions of the Rhino "3/4"

Taz, on the Configurator there’s now a rhino rack described as a ‘6ft’ rack … that’s the rack I’ve (correctly or incorrectly) called the 3/4 rack.

I think I read somewhere it's 1670 x 1590

I just want a low profile rack (preferably the Rhino) that comes as far as possible up to the Safari Windows that they can still open.

 

[hopefulkiwi]

there is just over 2m behind the safari windows Hard to measure someone elses shiny new grenadier in the wind with a tape measure

Front runner slimline II 3/4 has a low profile, is strong & light. It ois 1964mm long and ends before the safari windows.

well the Rhino 6foot rack is not 6ft.

6ft is about 1830mm

I think the Rhino 3/4 rack is 1670mm, call it 1700mm.

The Front Runner Slimline 3/4 rack is 1964mm
