Original message from Bob Denton:

I'm buying a 99 Doge minivan and trying to decide whether to purchase the
factory racks or not. I have Yakimas on my current minivan witch has rain
gutters. What's the best option?


Bob,  I just bought a new Dodge Caravan and was posed with the same
question.  I found that Yakima sells an adapter that mounts on the new Dodge
Caravan racks so that you can use your existing Yakima bars and attachments.
I think the adapters ran about $180.  You can easily take the adapters off
and go back to the original rack system as needed.

I don't know what you'd do if you bought your van without any rack system,
although I'm fairly sure something exists out there.  Anybody?
