About

Hi, thanks for checking out my page! My name is Alex. I started Van Go Crafter after getting frustrated at how much rack kits cost. I designed a set of brackets for my own Ford Transit and started selling them in 2024 via word of mouth of the Transit forum, www.fordtransitusaforum.com/threads/diy-rear-door-hangars-demo-set-made-and-tested. As a former BMW mechanic turned Electrical Engineer I love to design and build things, and Van Go Crafter has grown organically as a result. 

I've got a simple mission: design quality brackets that enable DIY van builders to create custom and affordable door racks. I personally design and conduct all product testing; once a product has passed fit checks and aligns with a basic rack setup I then work with a US manufacturer to produce the brackets. 

Since starting Van Go Crafter, one of my favorite things is to see what DIYers do with these brackets - if you feel like sharing, please reach out!
