South Coast manufacturers of the famous QUIVERACK extreme
sports roofbox, ActionVan, are launching their long awaited new
model, codenamed Q-Pod, in May. The prototype is currently
under construction in their workshops near Chichester. Pictured is

Quiverack was established some 13 years ago and was bought
last year by the extreme sports van conversion company
ActionVan (www.ActionVan.biz) who made plans to develop the
next generation of GRP roofboxes. After teething problems last
summer during the development of the first prototype ActionVan
took on the manufacture themselves. Company director Drew
Wood commented “we are confident we have got the
manufacturing process just right in order to avoid any
compromise on quality while producing a cost effective product
for the market”.
The new roof box will replace the old versions and has been
created to house current mast and board sizes. Its new side
opening door allows the roof box to be opened while the boards
are attached. It will be primarily constructed in GRP but the
development has included exotic materials such as carbon and
Kevlar. A carbon version is planned for later in the year. All
versions will have option of colour coding to your vehicle. Prices
will range from £700 - £950 with a winter sports model due
Autumn.
