Vanagon Westfalia Yakima Roof Racks

In preparation for our 2 month road trip across the US in our Westy, I decided to add Yakima roof racks and our SpaceBooster box for added storage. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of “stuff” we have inside the camper, so that there will be room for the two people and two dogs.
Here’s a shot of the new racks from the rear. I was able to get the towers on ebay for a good deal, and I already had the bars. The only really costly parts were the pads that mount to the camper roof:

And here are some closeups of the mounts on the fiberglass camper shell. It measured twice, drilled once:
