Which roof rails?

[andy500]

Evening all, can anyone recommend a source for roof rails for my SWB Velle? Ideally gloss black and I also want t channel cross bars that will ultimately allow four bikes to go on the roof. There are lots of different makes it seems but not sure which are best and offer some load capacity rather than being purely decorative.
I will of course look to fit them inline with the good advice on here using 6mm stud bar.

I also want some gloss black side bars as well if anyone knows the best source for them and for a set that won’t rust out immediately. Thanks
Cheers

I got mine from here. I wanted Flush Rails, which they don't seem to have anymore.

Pardon our interruption...

Just realised, my Rails came from here (Ebay)

Good luck getting 4 bikes up on the roof - I take it you're planning on carrying a pair of step ladders with you?
Maybe opt for a Rhino / Predator 4x4 full length rack rather than separate rails & bars?

Yes we carry a step in the caravan. Sadly not many other options for us apart from 2 on the back of the caravan and 2 on the roof but either which way I need to get some up there. I like the bars as I can remove them for the times we aren’t on holidays/carrying bikes
