Designed In-House • Built in the Pacific Northwest • Adventure-Ready
If your Vanagon, camper shell, canopy, trailer, or fiberglass pop-top doesn’t have factory gutters, these North Westy artificial rain gutters give you the ability to mount real gutter-tower roof-rack systems with confidence.
These brackets create a rock-solid, rust-proof foundation for rooftop tents, cargo boxes, kayaks, recovery gear, solar panels — anything you need for your rig.
Engineered, fabricated, and tested by people who actually build and drive adventure rigs here in the PNW.

Every gutter is laser-cut for perfect fitment, clean edges, and unmatched consistency, then formed for maximum strength and rigidity.
Each gutter comes with a matching formed backing plate that mounts on the inside of the roof.
This prevents pull-through and distributes load safely — a must for rooftop tents or heavy rack systems.
No rust. No coating to peel. No corrosion from salty coastlines or harsh winters.
PNW rain, snow, and road salt are no match for these.
Once installed, these operate exactly like real automotive rain gutters — compatible with nearly every major gutter-tower rack system.
Each mounting base includes M6 accessory holes so you can add:
Eyebolts
Awnings
Tie-downs
Ladders
MaxTrax or shovel mounts
