Inexpensive VW Van Roof Racks and Accessories:

check out the following site:

http://www.telusplanet.net/public/gary2a/rack/vanagonrack.htm

I bought a rack from Gary two years ago and saved a lot of money compared to other racks.

Here is some info from Gary's website:

Details common to all racks and carriers
Standard color is black powder coat.  Tubing is sandblasted and chemically cleaned before powder coating. 
All fasteners are stainless steel, all nuts are stainless nylock type.
Joints are TIG welded, not MIG welded (higher quality, better appearance).  Gas can carriers can be made
for either 20 liter "Wedco"  style or 5 gallon  "Blitz" style cans.
Gas can carrier options available for the Ladder and Wide Rack
